Creative Planting & Soft Landscaping
Bringing Your Northeast Garden to Life with Expert Planting, Quality Lawns, and Thriving Hedges.
We are landscape contractors and passionate horticulturalists.
While hard landscaping provides the structure, it is the soft landscaping—the plants, trees, and turf—that breathes life, colour, and soul into your outdoor space. At Premier Gardens, we are not just builders; we are passionate horticulturalists with a deep-seated love for planting.
With decades of experience working in the North East’s top garden centres and on countless landscaping projects, we have an intimate knowledge of what it takes to create a thriving, beautiful, and sustainable garden in our unique local climate.
We believe that thoughtful planting design is the final, transformative touch that turns a constructed space into a personal sanctuary.
Our Specialised Planting & Soft Landscaping Services
We offer a focused range of soft landscaping services designed to create maximum impact and long-term success. We handle the crucial elements that set the stage for a stunning garden, leaving you with a beautifully prepared space to enjoy.
Specimen Tree & Mature Hedging Installation:
For clients seeking instant impact and privacy, we specialise in the installation of large specimen trees and mature hedging. This is a technical process, and our team has the expertise and machinery, including telehandlers and cranes, to safely plant substantial trees.
This service can transform your garden’s skyline overnight, providing immediate screening in new estates or adding a wonderful sense of establishment and maturity to any property. It’s a specialist skill we are proud to offer.
Planting Schemes & Soil Preparation:
While many clients enjoy doing the final planting themselves, we provide the perfect foundation for their success. We handle the laborious task of preparing the soil, ensuring it is well-draining, nutritious, and perfectly suited to the plants that will live there.
We can also develop and install complete planting schemes, using our deep knowledge of local conditions to select varieties that provide year-round interest and texture, ensuring your new garden is designed to thrive.
Lawns & Turfing:
A lush, green lawn is often the centrepiece of a family garden, providing a versatile space for play and relaxation. We provide professional turfing services, ensuring meticulous ground preparation to create a level, healthy, and durable lawn.
As many homeowners are now moving away from artificial grass due to its negative environmental impact, a natural lawn is the superior choice. Our expert installation guarantees a beautiful, living surface that will thrive for years to come.
Wildlife-Friendly Gardens:
There is a growing desire for gardens that support local ecosystems, and we are passionate about creating them. With clients being very conscious about pollinators, we design planting schemes rich in nectar to attract bees and other beneficial insects.
We advocate for natural lawns and can incorporate features that provide food and shelter for birds, creating a vibrant space that is as good for nature as it is for you. It’s a key part of modern garden design.
Your Vision, Our Expertise
Whether you are an avid gardener who needs help with the heavy lifting or someone who wants a complete, professionally installed planting plan, we are here to help. We work collaboratively, listening to your ideas and preferences for style and colour, and then apply our horticultural knowledge to bring that vision to life in a way that is both beautiful and sustainable.
Our goal is to create a living, breathing space that evolves with the seasons and brings you joy for a lifetime. The strapline on our van says it all: “For a reason, a season, a lifetime”.

Sourcing the Best Plants for Your Garden
One of the key benefits of working with Premier Gardens is our extensive network of trade-only nurseries and specialist growers. This allows us to source plants that are often healthier, larger, and of a higher quality than those available in retail garden centres.
Because we bypass the middleman, we can provide these superior plants at a competitive price, often cheaper than what you would pay for a smaller equivalent on the high street. This means you get better value and plants that are primed for success in your garden.
Our expertise ensures that every plant, shrub, and tree we source is perfectly suited to your garden’s specific conditions, from soil type to sun exposure.
