Creating A Backyard Oasis
This year has shown a huge increase in the amount of time spent at home under lockdown, and outdoor living spaces are quickly becoming the ideal home-from-home sanctuary to relax and unwind.
Garden’s have the potential to create a serene wonderland, but it’s not always easy knowing where to start. A garden redesign can realise your dream space and careful placement of signature features ensures you create the right look and level of maintenance for your needs.
Trees and hedging – Choosing the right plants can transform your garden into the outdoor space you’ve always dreamed of and there’s nothing more satisfying than watching foliage bloom over the years. Hedging provides a good framework for any outdoor space. It can act as low maintenance natural fencing, or well placed feature shrubbery, as well as being a haven for a range of local wildlife. Trees offer year-round benefits in any garden, providing blossom, fruits and a change of colour with the seasons, with varieties to suit all garden sizes.
Flowers, lawns and grasses – As well as having fantastic environmental benefits, floral elements add a wonderful touch to any garden, bringing colour, fragrance and table decorations on-tap. Combined with wild grasses or turfing, you can model your ideal space with a range of maintenance levels from easy-care to regular, loving upkeep.
Natural features – As well as foliage, a few carefully selected natural elements can transform your garden into a spectacular, peaceful area. Natural stone walls give you a solid surface or raised beds for planting, whereas water features encourage nature, creating a visual & audible oasis. Adding a fire pit is also a great way to add value to those cold nights and extend the use of your garden well into Autumn and early Spring.
