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, e.g. nectar rich flower species to attract bees, and heads of flowers with seeds for small birds. Wildlife also benefits from garden ponds, offering homes to newts or frogs and supplying the water needed by bees for honey making. Wildlife corners can be created, with wilder areas left providing homes for beneficial insects or field mice and hedgehogs. Garden pests can also be controlled naturally by attracting ladybirds and lacewings to act as natural predators.
Whether you're moving to a new property and the garden is over grown or an existing garden needs redesigning, reputable garden specialists in Ipswich can assist you. We can source quality gardeners who can draw up designs for new gardens or offer maintenance contract services such as cutting trees back and cutting hedges. Various garden structures can be erected or included in new designs, such as archways made from wood or metal, ornamental figures like stone statues or sun dials, or storage sheds, greenhouses and summer houses.
For homes with children, having a garden that is child friendly will probably be important. Quality gardening companies in Ipswich will make sure this is a focus of garden designs drawn up, whether space to enable playing is desired or custom built climbing frames, or using garden lighting along paths made with non slip surfaces to reduce slip and trip hazards. Fence panels can be erected between garden borders to keep kids in the garden and heavy covers can be fitted over water features so outdoors, children are not at risk from water features.
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. Troughs or planters can add colour from flowers too. An alternative is integrated troughs made from wood that can be built into the decking construction, or pergola erection can be completed so decking can be covered with climbing plants or hanging baskets to be mounted on posts. Handrails and balustrades can be erected surrounding decking, with various spindle designs on offer and wooden gates matching the designs can be built in too. You can also choose from various decking materials, and pressure treating can be used for rot prevention, or staining of wood can be done.
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 giving different colours, textures and heights or plants or if fruit and veg is being grown, providing food too. Companies in Ipswich specialising in garden services can plan layouts and schemes for planting to make a beautiful feature of your home's exterior, whether you want plants to attract wildlife, winter flowering plants or colourful barks, or flowers and colour year round. For gardens that are easier to maintain, herbaceous plants or slow growing shrubs can be selected, or centre points created by planting feature trees.
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. Various water feature types can be selected between, from self contained pumps, lights and fountains, to monoliths made from slate or moulded stone balls for bubbling water effects. Seating areas and terraces work best with self contained water features, whilst large gardens and period properties can be enhanced by bigger, more imposing features such as stone animals or figures spouting water gathering in pools or troughs below. Expert gardeners in Ipswich can create designs for water features that can be a centrepiece in your garden.
