Child friendly gardens in Southampton

At family homes, a priority is often to make gardens child friendly. Experienced gardening specialists in Southampton can make sure this is a focus of garden designs drawn up, whether a play area is required or swing set and climbing frame building, or choosing surfaces that are non slip for paths to prevent tripping and slipping on wet surfaces. Fencing can be installed around garden perimeters keeping children inside boundaries of your garden, and pond covers or water feature coverings can be fitted to ensure children are not at risk when outdoors.

Water feature construction in Southampton

Incorporating water into a garden can be attractive, whether ponds are the type of water feature you prefer, to house koi carp or goldfish, or attract wildlife, or be combined with a fountain and pump. A range of types of water feature are on offer, from recessed containers and pebble pools, to metal or glass shaped features with water trickling over them. Self contained water features can be practical for patios, but period homes with large gardens can often be suited to large water features with more detail like stone fountains with lion head spouts and collecting in pools of troughs. New water features can be designed by Southampton gardeners to make garden focal points.

Southampton flower bed planting

Most gardens have some flower beds, whatever the size of a property is, or whether gardens are situated at the property's front or rear. Lots of plant types can be planted in borders varying in textures, foliage colours and flowers and giving food when growing vegetables or fruit. Specialist garden designers in Southampton can design new flower bed planting schemes to suit your property and tastes in plants, whether gardens that encourage wildlife are your priority, plants that provide interest in winter such as coloured bark, or spring bulbs and colour throughout the year. If you need low maintenance planting options, planting hardy perennials or shrubs can be useful, or trees planted as garden features that can be centre points.

Southampton wildlife gardens

Popularity is increasing for wildlife gardens, with garden products that are wildlife friendly being used more. This often includes plant species that encourage wildlife because of the natural source of food they provide, like bees and butterflies who need nectar from flowers, and sources of food in seed heads for small birds from flowers. Further benefits can be provided by ponds in gardens, providing a home for frogs, toads or newts and providing a water supply for bees making honey. Wild corners left for wildlife can be excellent, creating natural habitats to encourage insect life or small mammals like hedgehogs. Natural solutions for pests in your garden can also be provided, with encouragement of ladybirds and lacewings.

Southampton decking services

A commonly used garden feature is decking because of its use as an attractive feature and practicality for seating. Many people choose decking for outdoor entertaining and stand barbecues and patio furniture on it. Planters can be used to incorporate colour. For further colour, containers made from wood can be an integral part of the decking design, or pergolas can be constructed over decking enabling climbing plants to be grown over or wood struts can be hung with hanging basket brackets and planters. Balustrades topped with handrails can be constructed around decking, with various spindle designs to choose from and matching gates can also be built in. Different wood ranges and decking materials are also available, and treatments can be applied to stop rotting, or surfaces can be painted with wood stain.
