Hanging basket planting in Dawlish

Hanging baskets look brilliant when they're done well - full of flowers, properly planted, hanging at the right height. They look terrible when they're wonky, half-dead, or too high to water. We'll sort the planting and hanging properly so you just need to keep them watered.

### Why Get Help With This?

Planting baskets isn't hard, but it's fiddly and messy. You need the right compost, decent plants, and somewhere to make a mess. Then you need to hang them securely at a height that looks good but is still reachable for watering. We've got it down to a quick, efficient process.

For businesses - pubs, hotels, cafes - summer hanging baskets are basically compulsory. But staff rarely have time to plant them properly. We'll do the lot, and they'll look good from day one.

### What's Involved

We'll either work with plants and baskets you've bought, or source everything for you. Plant them up properly (plenty of plants, good compost, water-retaining gel if needed), then hang them on secure brackets at the right height. Quick job, big impact.

### Done Right vs Done Wrong

| Done Right ✅ | Done Wrong ❌ | |--------------|---------------| | Packed with plants, full from the start | Sparse with big gaps showing | | Quality compost with water retention | Cheap compost that dries out fast | | Hung securely on proper brackets | Wonky on inadequate fixings | | At reachable height for watering | Too high to reach without a ladder |
