Garden & Outbuilding Services Torquay Looking after fences, hedges lawns and borders; building raised flower beds, creating gardens for new homes and garden maintenance in Torquay
Wildlife friendly gardens are becoming increasingly popular, with features that attract wildlife being incorporated more often. Included in this are flowers that bring wildlife to gardens by providing their natural food sources, e.g. nectar rich flower species to attract bees, and sources of food in seed heads for small birds from flowers. Another key wildlife garden feature is a garden pond, giving amphibians like frogs a home and giving bees the water they need to make honey. Corners left to be wilder can be excellent additions, giving natural homes for insects or hedgehogs and field mice. You can benefit from the natural pest control by attracting ladybirds and lacewings to act as natural predators.
Whether you've just moved house and have an overgrown garden or you require garden refurbishment, a reliable Torquay garden services company can help. We can source quality gardeners with skills in designing new gardens or deliver expert garden maintenance such as lawn care and tree surgery. Structures can be included in garden designs, such as pergolas or rustic wooden archways, ornaments and statues made from stone, or buildings for storage or enjoying the sun like summer houses.
Water can be an attractive addition to gardens, whether you want a garden pond to encourage wildlife into your garden or as a home for fish, or want a pump and fountain for the sound of water. Various water feature types can be selected between, from recessed containers and pebble pools, to slate or stone monoliths and ball fountains for cascading or trickling water. Free standing water features can be best for patios, however stately gardens of period properties can encompass water features that are more extravagant, such as statues or animal sculptures spouting water surrounded by pools of water or concrete balustrades. Expert gardeners in Torquay can create designs for water features to create a focal point for your garden.
Decking is commonly used to provide a garden feature which looks attractive and provides seating areas. Domestic properties frequently have decking laid and use it as a base for garden furniture or barbecues. Troughs or planters can add colour from flowers too. For further colour, containers made from wood can make up part of decking, or construction of pergolas over the decking can be done so plants can be grown over decking area or wooden posts can have brackets and hanging baskets hung on them. Balustrades can be attached around decking, and various designs of spindles can be selected from and built in gates of the same design can also be included. You can also choose from various decking materials, and wood can be treated to prevent rot, or wood preservative can be used to treat surfaces.
If you have children, a child friendly garden will likely be a priority. Recommended Torquay garden specialists are able to bear this in mind when designing your new garden, whether space to enable playing is desired or swing set and climbing frame building, or incorporation of non slip pathways to avoid slipping when wet. Gardens can be fitted with fencing around borders so children remain inside garden areas and ponds or water features can be protected to prevent risk from water in the garden.
Flower beds are found in most gardens, however big or small your outdoor area, and whether it's a back or front garden concerned. Borders can be planted with many different plants giving different colours, textures and heights or plants and giving food when growing vegetables or fruit. Established gardeners in Torquay can create planting scheme plans to enhance the exterior of your home, whether wildlife gardening is your priority, colour from leaves and bark in winter, or planting to give colour through the year. If time is tight and low maintenance planting is needed, herbaceous plants or slow growing shrubs can be selected, or feature trees can add focal points and interest.
