Incorporation of water into designs for gardens can be effective, whether a garden pond is your preference, to house goldfish or koi carp, or want a pump and fountain for the sound of water. You can choose from many water feature types, from recessed containers and pebble pools, to ball fountains or metal designs for cascading or trickling water. Patios can favour self contained water features, but period homes with large gardens can often be suited to bigger, more imposing features such as fountains spouting from animals or stone statues falling into a trough or pool. New water features can be designed by Exeter gardeners acting as centre pieces in gardens.
Whether you're a recent home mover and there's a neglected garden at the property or an existing garden needs redesigning, a reliable Exeter garden services company can help. We have the established gardeners you need with skills in designing new gardens or maintain gardens at domestic and commercial properties such as lawn care and tree surgery. Gardens can have structures incorporated into them, such as arches or pergolas, ornamental figures like stone statues or sun dials, or buildings for gardens such as sheds, summerhouses or workshops.
Nearly all gardens have beds for flowers, whatever garden size homes have, or if gardens concerned are at the back or front of homes. Borders can be planted with many different plants so foliage and flower colours and textures can be varied and giving food when growing vegetables or fruit. Experienced gardening specialists in Exeter can create planting scheme plans to accommodate your preferences and suit your garden, whether gardens that encourage wildlife are your priority, winter flowering plants or colourful barks, or schemes that give year round colour. If you want plants that look after themselves and need little maintenance, planting hardy perennials or shrubs can be useful, or specimen tree planting to provide focal points.
Wildlife gardening is becoming ever more popular, and products and materials are chosen with wildlife in mind moreso. This includes species of plants that appeal to wildlife by providing their natural food sources, i.e. flowers rich in nectar that attract butterflies and sources of food in seed heads for small birds from flowers. A pond can be another key area for wildlife, giving amphibians like frogs a home and giving honey bees a supply of water. Wild corners left for wildlife can be excellent, providing homes for beneficial insects or hedgehogs who can eat slugs. This can also provide natural pest control for your garden with encouragement of ladybirds and lacewings.
If children visit your home frequently, features that are child friendly will be required. Quality gardening companies in Exeter will bear this in mind when designing your new garden, whether a separate area for playing is needed or swing set and climbing frame building, or designing of paths with non slip materials to avoid slipping when wet. Perimeter fencing can be erected around gardens keeping children inside boundaries of your garden, and heavy covers can be fitted over water features to reduce danger to children when outside.
A commonly used feature for gardens is decking, which gives space for seats and looks effective. Decking is often laid in entertaining areas of gardens by homeowners, and use it as a base for garden furniture or barbecues. Bedding plants in troughs or pots can add colour. For further colour, containers made from wood can be constructed as part of the decking, or construction of pergolas over the decking can be done allowing growth of climbing plants over decking or wood struts can be hung with hanging basket brackets and planters. Handrails and balustrades can be erected surrounding decking, with a range of spindle designs to select from and even gates to enclose decked areas. Different wood ranges and decking materials are also available, and tanalised timber can be chosen to prevent wood rotting, or stain can be applied.
