Wildlife gardening is becoming ever more popular, and more choices are made to choose products that attract wildlife. Plants that attract wildlife are often included, by providing their natural food sources, i.e. flowers rich in nectar that attract butterflies and plants that provide seed heads for small birds in autumn and winter. Garden ponds can be a key part of a wildlife garden, providing a home for frogs, toads or newts and giving bees the water they need to make honey. Corners left to be wilder can be excellent additions, creating natural habitats to encourage insect life or field mice and hedgehogs. Natural solutions for pests in your garden can also be provided, with encouragement of ladybirds and lacewings.
A commonly used feature for gardens is decking, because it looks good and is practical for seating. A lot of gardens use decking in entertaining areas and use it as a base for garden furniture or barbecues. Bedding plants in troughs or pots can add colour. Alternatively, built in wooden troughs can be incorporated into decking edges, or pergolas can be constructed over decking so plants can be grown over decking area 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 on offer and matching gates can also be built in. Different wood ranges and decking materials are also available, and tanalised timber can be chosen to prevent wood rotting, or staining of wood can be done.
Nearly all gardens have beds for flowers, regardless of the size of property exteriors, or whether the garden is at the front of back of a house. Borders can be planted with many different plants so foliage and flower colours and textures can be varied or even to produce food if growing vegetables. Experienced Bath garden services companies can design new flower bed planting schemes to enhance the exterior of your home, whether wildlife gardening is your priority, plants that provide interest in winter such as coloured bark, or flowers and colour year round. If you need low maintenance planting options, planting hardy perennials or shrubs can be useful, or specimen tree planting to provide focal points.
Whether you're a recent home mover and the garden has been neglected or renovations of the exterior of your property are needed, a reliable Bath garden services company can help. We have the established gardeners you need who can create garden designs for complete overhauls or provide garden maintenance services including tree pruning, grass cutting and planting. Structures can be included in garden designs, such as pergolas or rustic wooden archways, marble or stone ornaments like animals, statues or water features, or storage sheds, greenhouses and summer houses.
Incorporation of water into designs for gardens can be effective, whether it's a pond for your garden to hold fish or encourage wildlife, or want a pump and fountain for the sound of water. You can choose from many water feature types, from sunken containers with lights and fountains, to metal, moulded stone or natural slate monoliths with water trickling over them. Free standing water features can be best for patios, however stately gardens of period properties can encompass large water features with more detail like stone animals or figures spouting water and collecting in pools of troughs. New water features can be designed by Bath gardeners acting as centre pieces in gardens.
If children visit your home frequently, garden designs safe for children will be important. Expert Bath gardeners can bear this in mind when designing your new garden, whether a separate area for playing is needed or construction of play equipment, or pathways that are non slip and easy to navigate to prevent tripping and slipping on wet surfaces. Gardens can be fitted with fencing around borders so children remain inside garden areas and pond covers or water feature coverings can be fitted so outdoors, children are not at risk from water features.
