Hard Landscaping Tips For Beginners Hard landscaping is essential for your garden to create the best possible exterior
appearance. Although your soft landscaping features and materials can create a
beautiful style, it is hard landscaping you must consider carefully to create the
garden space you dream of. AD
Landscapes & Maintenance Ltd can provide hard landscaping for all new builds
and existing properties, recreating your current garden.
What Is Hard Landscaping? Hard landscaping is the materials that make up the hard
components of your landscapes. This includes features such as rocks, stones and
masonry used for landscaping. Hard landscaping is typically used in creating
your garden space and tying this into your current property and the scenery you
have surrounding your property.
Whilst soft
landscaping focuses on the garden features you plan to have once the garden
is actually created, hard landscaping makes sure your garden is structured
perfectly. Many people overlook the hard landscaping aspect for new build
properties or when changing your current garden. However, this is an integral aspect
of your property exterior and should always be considered before completing
your soft landscaping.
Material Choices Hard landscaping can be used for several different features
surrounding your property. With everything from driveways and patios to your
grass, paving and decking, hard landscaping is always a part of the
construction and installation that is being completed. One of the most important
choices for you is which materials you would like to use. Whether you are
creating driveways, decking or patios, there are several choices, including:
Gravel Pine Reinforced Grass Stone e.g. Granite,
Sandstone, Limestone Suds Timber There are many choices for every aspect of your garden,
giving you full customisation and personalisation over the style you would like
to achieve. Our team can give you advice regarding your driveways, paving or the
grass space you want from your hard landscaping. As there are several choices,
it is important you pick a style that you love, fitting in with the current scenery
around your property.
Garden Features To Think About When completing hard landscaping, there are several garden
features you should think about for the future and how you can adjust your
garden to meet these needs. One of the most important features of hard
landscaping is the drainage of your garden. To maintain the appearance of your
garden, you need to avoid grass become soggy and your exterior becoming
flooded, which requires good drainage.
There are several other items you should also plan ahead for.
If you want an easy to maintain garden, creating small spaces for plants makes
this much easier. As you are not having your whole garden space available for
plants, it makes managing your garden less time-consuming. You should also work
out the sun exposure you will receive in your garden in relation to your property.
You should always make sure that any plants will receive enough sunlight to
grow.
Installing Large Exterior Features If you are looking to add features such as a pond or pool,
it is important you plan where the larger features you would like are going to
be installed. By planning ahead, you can make sure the space is created as your
garden is being transformed and therefore you can have any of the unique
features you would like for your exterior.
Whilst you shouldn't let this dictate the rest of your hard
landscaping, it is an important consideration for you to make.
