Imagine this: you’ve spent months dreaming of your ideal garden, invested thousands and excitedly watched as your landscaping project took shape.
But six months later… your plants are dying; water is seeping through to the basement below instead of draining away as intended; in short, everything has gone wrong from what it had been imagined at first.
Dreaming up a garden transformation but scratching your head over what it will cost you in reality? You’re definitely not alone.
Sydney home-owners look at their blank backyards and wonder if professional landscaping is an option for them (not just a pricey service that is exclusively reserved for harbour-side mansions we see on TV).
Maintaining a perfect lawn year-round is a never ending struggle. I understand completely! But here’s the kicker—when you care for lawns in New South Wales, Mother Nature counts timing more than anything else.
Given our unique climate patterns and special soil conditions, things will all fall into place quite naturally.
Throughout New South Wales there will be gardens of all shapes and sizes, with some having been created by professional landscape design companies and others which were not.
For those designed and created by a landscaping company, there will doubtless be an array of plants and fixed features that make each landscaped garden in New South Wales unique.
As landscapers, there are many things we can do for you to make and keep your Sydney landscaped garden looking at its best. However, one power we do not have is being able to control the weather.
Much as it would make our lives, and those of our clients, easier, we have to leave how hot it gets in the hands of Mother Nature, although given the focus on climate change and global warming, it would seem the human race is also beginning to influence how hot it gets.
Whenever you embark upon a landscape design project for your garden, numerous variables come into play.
Notwithstanding the many choices you have to make about features and foliage you want to include, there is also the task of choosing a landscaping company to create the landscape design and then construct it, plus there is your budget to consider.
One of the most destructive things to befall any landscaping is flooding.
Whether the flooding is caused by days of continuous torrential rain, waters from a nearby source such as a river or lake busting their banks, or closer to home, a burst pipe or water main, the potential destruction of much of your landscaped garden is a real possibility.
If you are fortunate to have a garden large enough for a pool, and you plan to have new landscaping installed in that garden, then you have the best of both worlds.
Firstly, having a pool allows you to not only keep fit and have fun, but a pool is also an ideal centrepiece for gatherings of friends and family.
When many people think of landscaping their minds will conjure up images of beautifully manicured lawns, unique garden ornaments, stunning displays of plants and flowers, not to mention water features including swimming pools in larger gardens.
Whilst all of these are highly desirable and get included in many landscape designs, there is one element of every landscape project which barely gets a mention, or at least it does not when those creating the garden are not professionals.
Australians are quite proud of their DIY attitude. They like to visit hardware stores for fun and get stuck into projects on their weekends.
Still, when it comes to landscaping, you might like to give your household’s DIYer a break. There may come a time when it’s best to bring in the experts.
