How we work

Bestcare Gardeners follows a structured process to deliver a reliable event experience:

1. Initial consultation and site survey: We document site dimensions, substrate conditions, power access and client expectations.

2. Design proposal and mood boards: Formal proposals include scaled plans, material lists, plant selections and a timeline.

3. Quotation and contract: Detailed cost breakdowns, deposit schedules and insurance/ liability terms are provided for client approval.

4. Installation and oversight: Our certified installation team executes the plan, supervised by a project manager to ensure quality and schedule adherence.

5. Final inspection and handover: Post-installation walkthrough and client sign-off. Post-event restoration service is scheduled if required.

Practical tips for clients

• Book early: For peak wedding seasons secure design and installation at least 6–12 weeks in advance.

• Choose resilient plants: Prioritise native or well-adapted species that tolerate transport and short-term display.

• Confirm power access: Lighting and irrigation need reliable power sources; arrange generators if the venue lacks supply.

• Plan for weather: Discuss contingency options such as covered walkways or elevated planting beds for rainy conditions.

• Coordinate logistics: Confirm delivery windows and storage areas for potted plants to avoid last-minute site congestion.
