If you have children, a priority is often to make gardens child friendly. Expert Bournmouth gardeners can ensure this is a central focus of designs for your garden, whether a play area is required or custom built climbing frames, or incorporation of non slip pathways to make slipping and tripping less likely. Boundary fencing can be erected with fence posts so children remain inside garden areas and pond covers or water feature coverings can be fitted to ensure children are not at risk when outdoors.
Flower beds are found in most gardens, whatever the size of a property is, or whether the garden is at the front of back of a house. Many plant varieties can be planted in borders varying in textures, foliage colours and flowers or if fruit and veg is being grown, providing food too. Established gardeners in Bournmouth can create designs for colour schemes and companion planting so your property exterior can be enhanced, whether wildlife gardening is your priority, plants that provide interest in winter such as coloured bark, or spring bulbs and colour throughout the year. For gardens that are easier to maintain, hardy shrubs and perennials can be planted, or centre points created by planting feature trees.
Whether you've just moved house and overgrown plants have taken over the garden or renovations of the exterior of your property are needed, the answer is available from Bournmouth recommended garden services. We can locate experienced gardening professionals for you who can draw up designs for new gardens or deliver expert garden maintenance including hedge trimming and lawn restoration. Designs for gardens can incorporate structures such as pergolas or rustic wooden archways, marble or stone ornaments like animals, statues or water features, or garden buildings like sheds and summer houses.
Wildlife friendly gardens are becoming increasingly popular, with garden products that are wildlife friendly being used more. Plants that attract wildlife are often included, by providing sources of food that are natural, like bees and butterflies who need nectar from flowers, and heads of flowers with seeds for small birds. Another key wildlife garden feature is a garden pond, offering toads, newts and frogs a home and providing bees with water for honey generation. Corners left to be wilder can be excellent additions, creating natural habitats to encourage insect life or small mammals like hedgehogs. Garden pests can also be controlled naturally through predatory insect encouragement like lacewings.
Water can be an attractive addition to gardens, whether ponds are the type of water feature you prefer, to hold fish or encourage wildlife, or to combine a pump and fountain so water can be heard falling. A range of types of water feature are on offer, from self contained pumps, lights and fountains, to slate or stone monoliths and ball fountains giving bubbling, trickling or cascading water. Water features that are self contained are best for terraces and patios, however stately gardens of period properties can encompass large water features with more detail like stone fountains with lion head spouts gathering in pools or troughs below. Bournmouth expert gardeners can design water features that can be a centrepiece in your garden.
Decking is commonly used to provide a garden feature because of its use as an attractive feature and practicality for seating. A lot of gardens use decking in entertaining areas and utilise it as a level base for garden chairs and tables. Planters can be used to incorporate colour. An alternative is integrated troughs made from wood that can make up part of decking, or erecting wooden pergolas around decked areas so trailing or climbing plants can be grown over decking or wooden posts can have brackets and hanging baskets hung on them. Balustrades topped with handrails can be constructed around decking, with various spindle designs to choose from and wooden gates matching the designs can be built in too. Various wood styles and types are also on offer, and pressure treating can be used for rot prevention, or application of wood stain can be done.
