Need help planting shrubs in my UK garden

Hi there, I’m looking for someone to plant several shrubs in my small backyard. The soil is mostly clay, and I’d appreciate guidance on proper spacing and initial mulching. I have the shrubs ready and a few bags of compost, but I’m open to recommendations on which planting method works best for our UK climate. If you can bring your own basic tools and offer quick advice on aftercare (watering schedule, mulching depth), that would be great. Please note access is via a narrow side gate, so a compact set of tools would be ideal. I’m hoping to have this completed on a calm weekday morning.
