Expert Winter Soft Landscaping
Autumn and winter are the prime seasons for expert soft landscaping—creating structure and flair for a vibrant spring garden with new trees, hedges, and shrubs. With 17 years of experience, the Greengrass team delivers trusted soft landscaping and garden transformations across Essex and Suffolk.
The Right Time for Soft Landscaping
From November to February, Greengrass specialises in planting mature rootball and bare root plants. Rootball plants are lifted with soil intact for higher success, while bare root options are affordable and great for rapid establishment in your garden. This dormant season is ideal for soft landscaping, as trees and shrubs focus their energy below ground, building strong roots and preparing for spring’s growth. We source and plant only premium rootball and bare root plants for long-term success and efficiency.
Expert Plant Choices for Lasting Impact and Structure
At Greengrass, soft landscaping is about more than just plants—it’s about shaping your garden into a space you’ll love. Whether your vision is year-round colour, wildlife-friendly boundaries, or eye-catching garden features, our team helps select and install the varieties that make a lasting difference:
- Yew: Timeless evergreen hedging for formal boundaries and striking topiary
- Holly: Year-round privacy and vibrant berries that attract local wildlife
- Beech: Copper leaves providing texture and colour, even in winter
- Hornbeam: Resilient hedging that thrives in Essex and Suffolk soils
- Hawthorn & Blackthorn: Native options for secure boundaries and spring blossom
- Silver birch & flowering cherry: Statement trees for instant impact across seasons
