Overview
Our services fall into three categories:

• Indoor plant hire and service – long and short term
• Commercial landscaping and garden maintenance
• Consultancy on interior design using live plants.

Indoor Plant Hire and Service
Our long term indoor plant hire service revolves around two principles:

• Getting exactly the right look and function of plants through careful selection of plants and pots
• Maintaining the plants in excellent condition by providing the appropriate level of care and changes as often as required.

Getting the right look
If we get it right in the beginning everyone will be happy and it will last for years. So we put in a lot of effort to make sure that everything is exactly right for you.

Planters
We start with the style, shape and colour of the planter pots. There are a huge variety of planters available in all sorts of materials and finishes, from natural materials like wood and clay, through synthetics like plastic and fibreglass to metals such as stainless steel. We work with you to choose what is best for your interior design, down to exactly the right colour and finish.

We source planters from many suppliers around the country and can fabricate planters to your design. We then use colour charts and samples to get the colour and finish.

Plants
We choose from the many types of plants available to complement the look of the planters and provide the right "feel". This includes getting the geometry and dimensions of plants right – some places need voluminous plants, others require narrow vertical plants. Another consideration is how the plants will function in the chosen environment. This includes things like light levels, air temperature, air flow and humidity.

Maintaining the plants
"There is no such thing as an indoor plant" the saying goes. This is debatable, but the point is that plants when used indoors need care, they cannot fend for themselves. Our plant care technicians know how to keep plants looking good indoors. Their job starts with the basics like regular watering, leaf trimming and polishing. They also deal with the many types of pests which attack plants, supply nutrients, shape plants for specific locations.

Ultimately most indoor plants will need to be changed for new ones. The life span of plants indoors varies from a few weeks for the more delicate varieties to one or two years for some of the more robust trees. We change the plants as often as required to keep them looking good, not just surviving. If you want new plants to change the look of an area, just ask – we will change them for you, usually at no charge.
