How to Nail Landscaping
How to Improve Your Garden Landscape
Lockdown inspired many homeowners to dedicate time and effort to transforming their outdoor spaces. Learning how to improve your garden landscape doesn’t have to be complicated or require major renovations. Often, it’s the smaller changes that have the biggest impact, turning your garden into a stylish retreat or a family-friendly haven.
Not sure where to start? Don’t worry! Our team at PRO Fencing is here to help with expert advice, whether it’s fencing, decking, or bespoke garden features. Read on for our top landscaping tips to transform your space.
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Get Your Lawn Ship-Shape
A well-kept lawn is a cornerstone of any garden landscape. Experiment with different shapes—think oblong, circular, or completely custom designs. This creates space for flowing flower beds and paving features while also reducing the maintenance required for a smaller lawn.
Mowing your lawn into unique patterns or pairing it with contrasting textures, like gravel or stone, can bring instant character to your outdoor space.
Plan Your Planting Strategically
Choosing the right plants is key to improving your garden landscape. For seating areas, opt for beautifully scented plants, while bolder, larger specimens can create a striking visual feature in the background. Keep pollen-heavy plants away from seating spaces to ensure a more comfortable environment.
If you’re looking for modern design, consider combining seating with planters. A staircase-like structure with alternating beds and seating is perfect for social gatherings or children’s play areas. For timber materials, visit WL West Timber, who supply oak sleepers and bespoke solutions for planters.
Update Your Garden Furniture
Think about how you want to use your outdoor space. Relaxing with a drink? A steamer chair or lounger might be your best option. Love hosting BBQs? A large dining table and chairs could work well.
For bespoke solutions, contact our parent company, WL West Timber, who handcraft unique oak outdoor furniture, including engraved benches for special occasions.
Set Some Boundaries
Fences and gates don’t just add privacy—they set the tone for your garden. National Trust properties often choose wooden fences for a rustic charm, while heritage homes may opt for wrought iron or steel.
At PRO Fencing, we offer a wide range of fencing and gate options, from modern designs to traditional styles. Whether you want to screen areas for privacy or create zones for family use, our supply and installation services can help. Complete an enquiry form here to get started.
Level Up Your Garden
Adding structures like pergolas, garden rooms, or barbecue kiosks is an excellent way to enhance your garden landscape. These features provide functional and aesthetic value, creating spaces for relaxation or family activities.
Pergolas can be adapted with climbing plants, lighting, or even monkey bars for kids. For luxury additions like bespoke oak pergolas or timber frame buildings, reach out to WL West Timber for tailored solutions.
