Plant Selection and Planting Services

McRae's Gardens can assist you with plant selection and planting. This will ensure that you create the "living space" or "working space" that you desire. One that is suitable for the environment that it is in and enhances your property's appeal and value.

With McRae's Gardens' planting services you can be assured that the gardens not only succeed, but they thrive.

Turf Selection and Laying

McRae's Gardens will assist you with the selection of suitable species of turf. It is imperative that the correct species are chosen for the right applications. Some important factors that need to be considered include the level of sunlight, the soil type, and traffic type, level of maintenance desired or supplied, existing varieties and climate.

But all of this will mean nothing in the long term if the soil preparation is not carried out correctly. McRae's Gardens will ensure that the right species is selected and established.

Horticultural Consultancy

McRae's Gardens, through their extensive knowledge and experience can provide you with a service that will provide you with horticultural solutions. We specialize in preparing "Scope of Works" for bodies corporate and commercial facilities that are to be used for tender documents. This ensures that all of the requirements are practical, to the highest horticultural standards and applicable to your building.

Long term, it is very efficient as you are not paying for services that are not applicable or for over servicing. It also makes it easier to administer as there are not grey areas. We can also oversee these contracts and ensure that the work is being carried out as requested and agreed.

Irrigation Design and Installation

Although we try and select plants that require very little water, in some instances the requirement for irrigation cannot be avoided. McRae's Gardens can tailor an irrigation system to your requirements, making sure it is as efficient as possible, even using harvested water.

We follow the whole process from design to installation and maintenance, using quality parts that have been tested and proven their reliability.
