So, you’ve moved to Christchurch and want to spruce up your new garden but don’t know how to start. Even if you wouldn’t exactly consider yourself a dab hand at garden design in Christchurch, rest assured that the following small moves can make a positive difference.
Add Some Hard Landscaping Features
Contrary to what you might think, your garden’s ground doesn’t need to be predominantly covered with grass. While well-maintained grass can appear lush, but achieving that level of upkeep can be far more demanding and time-consuming than anticipated.
It would therefore help if you replaced at least some of your garden’s green space with hard landscaping elements — like decking, pathways and seating areas. We can add all of these to your garden.
Account for Your Household’s Practical Needs
Consider how you utilise your garden space. If you have children or pets who enjoy playing outdoors, you might prefer to provide ample green space for them to run around. If that’s the case, we can assist you in maintaining your lawn.
You can task us with mowing, spraying, topdressing, seeding and fertilising it. All in all, we can save you a lot of valuable time — considering the time you have available day-to-day can help determine which elements should be included or excluded from your garden’s design.
For example, you should omit particular plants if you reckon that they could prove difficult for you to look after over the long term.
Assess the Conditions Carefully
Before choosing any plants, take the time to research the conditions that would support their optimal growth.
As some plants rejoice in the warm sun while others much prefer shade, it’s important to ascertain exactly where the ‘sunny’ and ‘shady’ spots lie in your garden. That way, you can put the right plants in the right places.
We can weed, mulch, trim hedges, tidy up and do a lot else to help preserve your garden design in Christchurch. To obtain a free, no-obligation quote, please call Stone Landscapes Ltd on 022 639 3473.
