Looking for plant rental in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast for your workplace, retail space, or event? Getting plant hire right the first time means understanding more than just aesthetics. It’s about choosing a transparent, reliable, and well-supported horticulture supplier that sets you up for long-term success.
Here’s what to look for if you want to avoid common pitfalls and partner with a provider who gets it right from day one.
1. Beware of suppliers that include installation in their weekly hire fee
A common misconception is that plant hire should be all-inclusive from the start. But separating installation costs from the weekly fee is one of the ways we stay transparent and fair.
Installation includes personalised design, plant selection, sourcing, delivery, and setup—handled by experienced technicians. Charging this upfront means your weekly fee only covers the ongoing service and plant maintenance, not hidden setup costs spread across your contract.
This approach ensures better clarity and cost efficiency from day one.
2. Why we require an 18-month minimum for long-term hire
We want your plants to thrive—not just survive—and that takes time. Our 18-month minimum allows us to design, maintain, and refresh your display as seasons and needs change. It also means we can invest in higher quality plants and better long-term care.
This isn’t a quick win for us. It’s a long-term partnership, and if you’re investing in a quality workspace, we want to deliver consistent results.
(Need something shorter term? We offer that too—especially for events, exhibitions and temporary spaces.)
3. Happy technicians = happy plants
Our team is Great Place to Work certified, and it shows.
We know from experience: technicians who are respected, supported, and enjoy their job take better care of your plants. They’re more attentive, proactive, and committed to maintaining beautiful displays.
That’s why we invest in our people. When our team is happy, your plants are too.
4. Yes, we make mistakes—here’s how we handle them
No company is perfect. What matters is how issues are resolved.
If something goes wrong, we own it. We respond quickly, communicate clearly, and fix it fast. We’re small enough to know everyone in the team and work closely together, which helps us resolve things before they become problems.
That level of service is part of getting it right the first time—and keeping it right for the long haul.
5. Local knowledge with large-scale capability
We’re proudly based in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. Being local means we understand the climate, the architecture, and the expectations of our clients.
But we’re also big enough to handle major commercial sites, government tenders, and multi-location portfolios. You get personal, informed service—with the professionalism and resources to back it up.
6. One supplier, full coverage
When you work with Advance Plants, you don’t just get plant hire—you get a streamlined experience. We provide:
- Short-term and long-term plant hire
- Green walls
- Landscape maintenance
That means one contact, one invoice, and one trusted team who knows your site inside and out.
7. Plan ahead—we work methodically
We’re often booked months ahead, and that’s because we don’t rush installations or cut corners. We prioritise quality and service for every client we work with.
If you’re considering plant hire, reach out early. We’ll respond promptly, let you know when our calendar allows for installation, and deliver a plan that’s worth waiting for.
