Planting
Considered garden planting designed to look good and grow well.
Garden Planting in Keswick & Cumbria
We provide considered garden planting and plant sourcing for clients in Keswick and Cumbria.
Successful planting is about more than colour or instant impact. The right plants, in the right place, make a garden that not only looks good, but grows well over time. Every planting scheme is carefully considered and suited to its setting, with seasonal planting planned to ensure the garden develops naturally through the year.
With strong horticultural knowledge and hands-on landscaping experience, we select and plant trees, shrubs, hedging and perennials to suit soil type, aspect, light levels and site conditions. Plants are chosen not just for how they look on day one, but for how they will establish, mature and perform in Cumbria’s climate.
Our work doesn’t stop once planting is complete. We provide clear, practical advice on plant care and ongoing maintenance, helping gardens remain healthy, balanced and well structured through the seasons. Whether the aim is to add structure, soften hard landscaping or introduce seasonal interest, our planting is designed to enhance the wider landscape.
Planting at DSR is led by Steven Ray, a trained horticulturist with a deep understanding of plant health, soil conditions and long-term garden performance.
Alongside private gardens, we also undertake planting for hotels and larger estates, where presentation, reliability and consistency are essential.

What Our Clients Say
DSR Landscaping transformed our dream property's garden into a beautiful, functional space. Dave and his team were punctual, knowledgeable, and flexible, completing the project to a high standard. Steve's planting was perfectly timed. We now have a stunning outdoor area we use year-round.
DSR designed, built, and planted the landscaping for our holiday cottages, including steps, retaining walls, patios, and flower beds. Dave added lovely features like benches and tiles, while Steve sourced attractive, low-maintenance plants. We've since hired them for numerous other projects.
David expertly does the hard landscaping and Stephen is a talented and knowledgeable horticulturist. They transformed our garden with beautiful drystone walls, paths, a large lily pond, and a waterfall. Always punctual, hardworking, and dependable, it’s a pleasure to have them work for us.
