Levelling Sloped Gardens ⋅ landscaping hackney

 

Rarely, are gardens entirely level?  If you have got one it’s great.  If not, it can be challenging to level a sloping garden into a useable space.  Expensive to physically achieve.  Even with the use of a digger.  You either have too much soil. Which is expensive to remove and get rid of.  Or you don’t have enough soil.  Expensive to buy.  And expensive to get into the garden.  Sometimes you have to work with, what you already have.

 

Retaining Walls · Landscaping · Hackney

Retaining walls can be a workaround. Enabling you to gain usable flat areas in your garden.  You will have to move some soil to achieve this.  But you won’t have to level the entire garden in the process. Retaining walls are great for a garden design where you have a change in levels.  And can be used effectively to create intimate enclosed areas.  Creating ‘garden rooms’ for outdoor entertaining.

Sometimes a garden has poor drainage.  The soil is full of clay.  Or flower beds are near walls.  Where footings can’t be removed.   Maybe you want to add a bed near your patio area.  Or you just want to add height, to your planting.  Why not add a raised bed to your landscaping project, Hackney?

Raised beds  ⋅rendered retaining walls  ⋅ garden design ⋅ landscaping ⋅ landscape gardener ⋅ landscaper ⋅ paving ⋅ Haringey

 

 

Raised beds can be filled with good drainage material.  Such as rubble.  Add your soil.  Try to avoid too much clay.  Blend in some compost and manure.  Don’t overfill.  As you will gain soil, during the planting process.

SLEEPER WALLS LANSCAPING HACKNEY

Generally, the higher the raised bed the better.  Sleepers are a firm favourite.  Avoid the tarry reclaimed sleepers.  And opt for the cheaper softwood sleepers. Or new oak sleepers.  Oak sleepers can blacken over time.  Bleach yearly with oxalic acid.  To restores their silver colour.   Other options include natural drystone walling.  Or brick/block walling.  Block walls can be finished, in painted render or cladding with stone tiles.

PLANTING LANSCAPING HACKNEY

 

Now for the finishing touches, for your landscaping project, Hackney.  The planting.  Usually the most fun and most creative part of the entire garden design landscaping project, in Hackney.   First, decide on your theme.  Contemporary or traditional.  You may have always wanted a tropical garden.  Or opt for a zen garden, to relax in.

 

 

CONTEMPORARY LANSCAPING HACKNEY

 

A contemporary garden design can feel a bit more relaxed, than a traditional design.  There is an emphasis on bold hard landscaping materials.  Such as hardwood decking and granite paving.  Rendered walls and hardwood slatted fences are a firm favourite.

 

Hot colours ⋅ garden design ⋅ Haringey ⋅ landscaping ⋅ landscape gardener ⋅ landscaper ⋅ paving ⋅

 

Planting tends to be simple and unfussy.  Architectural plants work well. Bold shapes and textures.  Colours work well.  But restricted to a few palettes.  Hot colours are a favourite.  And so are plants with good height.  Grasses and bladed plants, such as phormiums or crocosmia work well.  Complimented, by coloured herbaceous drifts.

 

 

Contemporary colours ⋅ garden design ⋅  landscapingx ⋅ landscape gardener ⋅ landscaper ⋅ paving ⋅ barnet ⋅ haringey

 

Budget grasses such as miscanthus and carex are planted in groups.  Are striking and are a cheaper alternative to bamboo.  Mix with colour: rudbeckia, crocosmia & echidnae.

 

 

Add a contemporary garden planting scheme to your garden, by combining

  • Tall and bladed plants ⋅ bamboo ⋅ phormiums
  • Glossy leafed shrubs ⋅ figs ⋅ fatsia
  • A splash of colour ⋅ agapanthus ⋅ crocosmia

 

Plant in groups or drifts.  Creating maximum impact.  Plant in odd numbers.  Add compost as you plant.  Mulch the area with bark. To retain moisture in those long hot summer months.

TRADITIONAL LANDSCAPING HACKNEY

Sandstone, slate, and granite are good contenders for the paving material.  Stone cladded walls work well.  Oak sleepers and hardwood decking look good in any design setting.   

Planting ⋅ Landscaping ⋅ Hackney

 Planting is always a matter of personal taste.  You could opt for an informal planting style.  A rambling cottage garden planting scheme.  Or a more formal style.  A lot depends on how you group your plants.

 Plants tend to be less exotic, and more traditional. There are exceptions.  Phormiums look great.  Especially in pots.  Box hedging is a favourite.  Supported with box balls and privet half standards.  Lavender always works well.  With alliums and verbena.
