Helping St Albans

Finding garden services in St Albans

Whether you're moving to a new property and the garden is over grown or renovations of the exterior of your property are needed, reputable garden specialists in St Albans can assist you. We can source quality gardeners with skills in designing new gardens or deliver services such as garden maintenance including tree pruning, grass cutting and planting. Various garden structures can be erected or included in new designs, such as archways made from wood or metal, marble or stone ornaments like animals, statues or water features, or buildings for gardens such as sheds, summerhouses or workshops.

St Albans decking services

Many properties take advantage of decking in gardens which offers space for seating and looks good. A lot of gardens use decking in entertaining areas and stand barbecues and patio furniture on it. Troughs or planters can add colour from flowers too. For further colour, containers made from wood can be an integral part of the decking design, or pergolas can be constructed over decking so decking can be covered with climbing plants or hanging baskets to be mounted on posts. Balustrades topped with handrails can be constructed around decking, with a range of spindle designs to select from and matching gates can also be built in. A range of wood types can be chosen between, and pressure treating can be used for rot prevention, or staining of wood can be done.

Child friendly gardens in St Albans

For homes with children, having a garden that is child friendly will probably be important. Expert St Albans gardeners can make sure this is a focus of garden designs drawn up, whether space to enable playing is desired or swing set and climbing frame building, or choosing surfaces that are non slip for paths to prevent tripping and slipping on wet surfaces. Fence panels can be erected between garden borders to keep kids in the garden and pond covers or water feature coverings can be fitted to reduce danger to children when outside.

St Albans wildlife gardens

More people are focussing on wildlife friendly garden aspects, with more people choosing to incorporate wildlife attracting features. Plants that attract wildlife are often included, because of the natural source of food they provide, e.g. nectar rich flower species to attract bees, and sources of food in seed heads for small birds from flowers. Further benefits can be provided by ponds in gardens, providing a home for frogs, toads or newts and supplying the water needed by bees for honey making. Wildlife corners can be created, with wilder areas left creating natural habitats to encourage insect life or hedgehogs who can eat slugs. Natural solutions for pests in your garden can also be provided, through encouragement of ladybirds, lacewings and other predatory insects.

Water feature construction in St Albans

Water is frequently used in gardens to create features, whether you'd like a pond digging to hold fish or encourage wildlife, or be combined with a fountain and pump. Various water feature types can be selected between, from recessed containers and pebble pools, to metal or glass shaped features with water trickling over them. Seating areas and terraces work best with self contained water features, whilst large gardens and period properties can be enhanced by large water features with more detail like fountains spouting from animals or stone statues and collecting in pools of troughs. Water features can be designed and installed by St Albans gardening experts that can be a centrepiece in your garden.

St Albans flower bed planting

Beds for flowers are found in the majority of gardens, whatever size outdoor area properties have, or whether the garden is at the front of back of a house. Lots of plant types can be planted in borders giving different colours, textures and heights or plants and giving food when growing vegetables or fruit. Specialist garden designers in St Albans can design new flower bed planting schemes to make a beautiful feature of your home's exterior, whether you want plants to attract wildlife, plants that provide interest in winter such as coloured bark, or schemes that give year round colour. If you need low maintenance planting options, you can choose herbaceous plants and shrubs, or centre points created by planting feature trees.
