A curated guide to our process, philosophy, and what you can expect when partnering with Hyssop & Cedar.

Services & process

What areas do you serve?

We primarily serve Accra and greater Tema. For larger engagements we travel across Ghana and West Africa.

How do projects typically start?

Start with a walkthrough or consultation so we can understand light, drainage, access, and your goals. We then share a concept and planting plan before sourcing and installation.

Do you handle everything in-house?

Yes. We consult, design, source plants and materials, install, and offer ongoing maintenance. For specialist work (irrigation, lighting, hardscape), we coordinate trusted partners.

Plants & catalog

Do you sell individual plants and pots?

Yes. The catalog is a curated selection ready to place. We can also source specific species, sizes, and planters on request.

Are the plants suited to West African climates?

Every recommendation accounts for local heat, humidity, and AC-heavy interiors. We prioritize resilient, proven species for the setting.

Can you suggest plants for my light conditions?

Absolutely. Share photos and light patterns (morning/afternoon, direct/indirect) and we will tailor a list with care notes.

💎

Booking & pricing

What does a walkthrough or consultation cost?

Short discovery calls are complimentary. Site walks and consultations are billed, then credited toward your project if you move forward.

How do you price projects?

Estimates are based on scope: plant selection, pot sizes and materials, substrates, labor, delivery, and optional maintenance. We provide a clear line-item estimate before work begins.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Yes. We offer weekly, biweekly, and monthly programs with clear SLAs: watering, pruning, replacements, and seasonal refreshes.
