Beds for flowers are found in the majority of gardens, whatever size outdoor area properties have, or if gardens concerned are at the back or front of homes. Lots of plant types can be planted in borders to add colour, texture from different foliage types or even to produce food if growing vegetables. Experienced Oxford garden services companies can plan companion planting designs and colour schemes to make a beautiful feature of your home's exterior, whether you want plants to attract wildlife, colour from leaves and bark in winter, or flowers and colour year round. If you need low maintenance planting options, hardy shrubs and perennials can be planted, or trees planted as garden features that can be centre points.
Whether you're moving to a new property and the garden is over grown or an existing garden needs redesigning, reputable garden specialists in Oxford can assist you. We can help you find experienced gardeners who can create garden designs for complete overhauls or provide garden maintenance services like restoring lawns, cutting trees and trimming shrubs. Various garden structures can be erected or included in new designs, such as archways made from wood or metal, ornaments and statues made from stone, or storage sheds, greenhouses and summer houses.
Many properties take advantage of decking in gardens which offers space for seating and looks good. Decking is often laid in entertaining areas of gardens by homeowners, and stand barbecues and patio furniture on it. Colour can also be added with planters. Alternatively, built in wooden troughs can be incorporated into decking edges, or covering decked areas with pergolas so decking can be covered with climbing plants or hanging baskets to be mounted on posts. Balustrades can be attached around decking, with various spindle designs on offer and matching gates can also be built in. Various wood styles and types are also on offer, and treatments can be applied to stop rotting, or wood preservative can be used to treat surfaces.
More people are focussing on wildlife friendly garden aspects, with more people choosing to incorporate wildlife attracting features. This includes species of plants that appeal to wildlife because of the natural source of food they provide, such as nectar rich flowers for butterflies and bees and plants that provide seed heads for small birds in autumn and winter. Garden ponds can be a key part of a wildlife garden, enabling frogs to lay frog spawn and supplying the water needed by bees for honey making. Wildlife corners can be created, with wilder areas left giving natural homes for insects or field mice and hedgehogs. Natural solutions for pests in your garden can also be provided, through predatory insect encouragement like lacewings.
Water is frequently used in gardens to create features, whether you'd like a pond digging to house goldfish or koi carp, or be combined with a fountain and pump. Many types of water feature can be selected, from sunken containers with lights and fountains, to metal, moulded stone or natural slate monoliths with different water effects, from trickles to cascades. Seating areas and terraces work best with self contained water features, whilst large gardens and period properties can be enhanced by water features that are more extravagant, such as stone animals or figures spouting water and collecting in pools of troughs. Oxford expert gardeners can design water features to make garden focal points.
For homes with children, having a garden that is child friendly will probably be important. Quality gardening companies in Oxford will make sure this is a focus of garden designs drawn up, whether you want a child play area or construction of play equipment, or pathways that are non slip and easy to navigate so tripping or slipping over can be avoided. Fence panels can be erected between garden borders to keep kids in the garden and ponds or water features can be protected so outdoors, children are not at risk from water features.
