Water can be an attractive addition to gardens, whether you want a garden pond to attract wildlife like frogs or to house fish, or to provide the sound of water with a fountain. You can choose from many water feature types, from liners and containers that can be sunken, to metal or glass shaped features giving bubbling, trickling or cascading 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 stone fountains with lion head spouts gathering in pools or troughs below. Expert gardeners in Preston can create designs for water features acting as centre pieces in gardens.
Wildlife friendly gardens are becoming increasingly popular, with features that attract wildlife being incorporated more often. These can include plants that attract wildlife through natural food source provision, i.e. flowers rich in nectar that attract butterflies and winter food sources for birds in flower seed heads. Further benefits can be provided by ponds in gardens, offering toads, newts and 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 small mammals like hedgehogs. Garden pests can also be controlled naturally by attracting ladybirds and lacewings to act as natural predators.
If you have children, a child friendly garden will likely be a priority. Quality Preston garden designers can focus on this when creating garden designs, whether a separate area for playing is needed or erection of climbing frames and swings, or choosing surfaces that are non slip for paths to make slipping and tripping less likely. Perimeter fencing can be erected around gardens keeping children inside boundaries of your garden, and heavy covers can be fitted over water features to ensure children are not at risk when outdoors.
Decking is commonly used to provide a garden feature which looks attractive and provides seating areas. Many gardens have decked areas for entertaining and stand garden seating and barbecues on it. Bedding plants in troughs or pots can add colour. Built in wooden containers are another alternative which can be an integral part of the decking design, or erecting wooden pergolas around decked areas 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 various spindle designs to choose from and wooden gates matching the designs can be built in too. You can also choose from various decking materials, and tanalised timber can be chosen to prevent wood rotting, or stain can be applied.
Flower beds are found in most gardens, however big or small your outdoor area, and whether its a front garden or a rear garden. Various types of plants can be used when planting borders so foliage and flower colours and textures can be varied and additionally providing food if in a herb or veg garden. Specialist garden designers in Preston can create designs for colour schemes and companion planting to accommodate your preferences and suit your garden, whether gardens that encourage wildlife are your priority, winter flowering plants or colourful barks, or spring bulbs and colour throughout the year. For gardens that are easier to maintain, herbaceous plants or slow growing shrubs can be selected, or specimen tree planting to provide focal points.
