Garden design covers planning and planting small outdoor spaces — from choosing the right plants and trees to laying out beds and getting everything established. On Borigandee, you describe the garden you have in mind, compare quotes from ID-verified gardeners near you, and release payment only once you're happy with the finished result.

Garden Design & Planting Service — Bring Your Outdoor Space to Life

What's covered

A gardening pro can quote for any of the following as part of a planting and small garden setup job:

Site assessment and planting plan for a small garden area
Soil preparation — clearing, turning, amending with compost or growing medium
Planting of trees, shrubs, groundcover, flowering plants, or potted arrangements
Small garden layout and bed shaping — borders, raised beds, stepping-stone paths
Installation of pots, planters, or container gardens on balconies or patios
Mulching and initial watering setup after planting
Tropical and shade-tolerant plant selection suited to Thailand's climate
Vertical garden or trellis planting on walls and fences

Typically a separate quote: irrigation system installation, large tree felling or root removal, retaining walls or structural landscaping, ongoing monthly maintenance (ask your pro whether they offer a care schedule), and any electrical work for garden lighting.

How Borigandee works

Describe your job. Tell us the space — size, what's there now, what you'd like to plant, and any constraints (shade, soil condition, balcony or ground-level). A photo or two helps.
Get up to 5 quotes from verified pros. Gardening specialists review your brief and send clear, itemised quotes — no vague estimates.
Compare and book. Review each pro's profile, ratings, and quote. Ask follow-up questions, then confirm the one you want.
Your payment is held safely until you approve the finished job. Once you confirm the work is done to your satisfaction, the pro is paid the same day.

Verified pros, real trust

Every gardening pro on Borigandee is ID-verified before they can quote for any job. That's a baseline for everyone on the platform. Beyond that, individual pros carry additional trust signals depending on their tier:

Reference checked — available on Bronze-tier pros and above, indicating confirmed work history.
Background checked — a formal criminal record check carried out on top-tier pros.

You can see each pro's verification badges clearly on their profile before you book.

If something about the finished job isn't right, our dispute process is there to sort it out. Payment can be released in full, partially, or returned — depending on what's been agreed and what the review finds. The process is fair to both sides, and nothing moves until it's resolved.

How pricing works

Planting and small garden setup is priced per job. That means each quote reflects the actual scope — the size of the space, the number and type of plants, the condition of the soil, any prep work needed, and the complexity of the layout.

There's no haggling and no hidden add-ons after the fact. The quote you agree to is the price you pay. If the pro spots something during the job that changes the scope, they discuss it with you before proceeding — not after.

If your space is larger or involves multiple zones, some pros may quote in stages; others will price the whole project as a single job. Either way, the quote is clear before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does getting quotes actually work?

You describe your garden job — space size, what you want planted, any preferences — and up to five gardening pros send you individual quotes based on your brief. You're not committed to anything until you choose a pro and confirm the booking. If you need to clarify something before deciding, you can message any pro directly through the app.

Is my payment safe?

Yes. Your payment is held safely from the moment you book and is only released to the pro once you approve the completed work. If you haven't approved it, it doesn't move. The pro is paid the same day you give the go-ahead.

What if I'm not happy with how the job turned out?

Raise it through our dispute process before approving payment. We review what was agreed, what was delivered, and work toward a fair resolution — full release, partial release, or a refund, depending on the situation. Neither side is left without recourse.

How do I know the pro is trustworthy?

Every pro is ID-verified before they can appear on the platform. Higher-tier pros carry additional badges — Reference checked (Bronze and above) or Background checked (top tier), which involves a formal criminal record check. All of this is visible on the pro's profile so you can make an informed decision before booking.

Can I set up ongoing garden care after the initial planting?

Many gardening pros on Borigandee offer recurring maintenance schedules — watering, pruning, fertilising, replanting — after the initial setup. When describing your job, mention that you're interested in ongoing care and ask whether the pros who quote can accommodate a regular schedule. It's worth sorting out upfront so the planting choices also suit a long-term plan.

Good garden care doesn't stop at planting day. Once your garden is established, consider setting up a recurring maintenance schedule with your pro — regular visits to keep plants healthy through Thailand's wet and dry seasons, prune what's overgrown, and refresh anything that didn't take. Mention it when you describe your job and ask whether the pro offers a care plan.
