Perennial and annual schemes
Perennial and annual planting schemes installed to match the approved plan — including seasonal color where it is part of the documented scope.
Planting & Garden Installation
Layered planting and garden structure that complement the built site
Perennial and annual schemes, bed renovation, and garden structure are installed to complement hardscape and architecture — the same scope already described on the homepage and services overview, carried out within Esterly Link’s coordinated design and build practice rather than as disconnected bed work dropped onto finished construction.
In the landscape system
Planting after plans — and with them
Planting gives outdoor rooms their texture, rhythm, and seasonal change. We install beds and garden structure so they read with walks, walls, pools, and architecture — aligned with the services overview language on garden structure, color, and plant palettes installed to match the architecture of the land, and with the same integrated practice framing used across corporate, residential, commercial, and environmental work.
When a project needs full outdoor planning and construction at once, planting is often carried inside Design, build & install; this category is the right emphasis when planting and garden installation are the clearest lead scope, or when beds and structure need focused renewal within an established landscape.
Typical scope
What planting & garden installation can include
Scope-level categories drawn from the services catalog summary for this line — not every item applies to every property.
Bed renovation and replanting
Bed renovation and replanting when existing beds need structure, density, or palette adjustments without a full site redesign.
Garden structure and composition
Garden structure — spacing, layers, and edges — so planting reads clearly against lawn, paving, or woodland, consistent with how the firm describes garden work alongside the architecture of the land.
Planting coordinated with hardscape
Installation that meets terraces, steps, walls, and paths cleanly — the same coordination theme used when hardscape and planting are described together elsewhere on this site.
Planting with architecture and outdoor rooms
Planting that supports outdoor rooms and views toward the house or outbuildings — complementing architecture as already stated in the services catalog for this category.
Finishing integration with ongoing care
Mulch, edges, and finishing details that tie new planting into the rest of the landscape — with optional follow-through via Landscape services when you want long-term stewardship after installation.
How it fits our process
Planning, documentation, installation, supervision, optional care
Planting and garden installation follows the same six-stage pathway used firm-wide. The summaries below match the Process page; they are not a separate workflow.
-
Consultation & site analysis
We begin with an on-site consultation and initial site analysis so we understand your goals, the conditions of the land, and how you intend to live outdoors. That first pass sets the tone for everything that follows — what to protect, what to improve, and where the landscape can do its best work.
-
Conceptual planning & layout
Conceptual sketches and layout options are developed and reviewed with you — tailored to your tastes and to the opportunities of the site. This is where directions are compared before time and budget commit to a single built solution.
-
Plans, details & renderings
We prepare complete landscape design plans with details, and color renderings when they help you visualize the finished environment before construction. The intent is straightforward: decisions stay clear while there is still room to refine — so what gets built matches what you approved on paper.
-
Construction & installation
When plans are approved, our crews deliver coordinated construction and landscape installation across the scopes your project requires — hardscape, planting, lighting, water features, irrigation, and related site work — with disciplined coordination rather than a loose chain of handoffs.
-
Supervision & workmanship
Work is personally supervised by Greg or a member of the management team. We select high-quality nursery stock and landscape materials suited to each job, and we guarantee our workmanship — we stand behind the outcome of the work we take on.
-
Optional maintenance & care
Maintenance contracts and care programs are available when you want disciplined seasonal attention after installation — including pruning, mulching, lawn programs, and seasonal preparation — aligned with the ongoing landscape services we offer when you want the landscape to stay at its best.

Project fit
When planting leads the conversation
This category is a natural lead when beds, garden structure, or seasonal color are the clearest priority — residential, estate-scale, commercial, or environmental properties where the built framework already exists or is being planned in parallel, and planting needs to be composed rather than improvised on site.
When the job is primarily coordinated outdoor construction across many scopes, starting with Design, build & install may be clearer; planting still remains a coordinated thread within that pathway.
Additional planting-focused photography and fuller examples will continue to appear on the portfolio over time — without changing how we install and document work in the field today.
