Hard Landscaping : The hard landscape is a key part of the structure of a garden. Hard Landscaping hard should be attractive and in keeping with the house and the rest of the garden and is usually the most expensive part of the design and build of a garden. It's going to be there for a long time so it's important to get the choice of materials and design right and go for the best materials you can afford. There's more to hard-landscaping than just paving it also includes all the non-green stuff like aggregates block paving coarse sand gravel slate stone timber crushed concrete gabions ballast edging garden lighting garden fencing, garden walls, brickwork, garden paving, patio flagstones, garden decking, retainer walls, pergolas railway sleepers and pond liners.
Soft Landscaping : Soft Landscaping involves the "green bits" of creating your garden including garden topsoil, garden turf, garden plants, shrubs and trees, against the positioning of architectural structures, such as garden buildings, garden sheds, gazebos, timber arches and trellises. Soft landscaping is vital to all gardens, not only does a well planted garden look attractive but it adds character and charm and needs to be planned to take into account which areas of the garden are lit and shaded at different periods throughout the day, the soil type and draining. You may want to go for an artificial lawn and if you don't and use turf or grass seed you will need to add garden composts, garden bark and mulches, fertilisers and perhaps loams and top dressings. Water gardening is ever popular and you can find everything you need by visiting one of the water gardening specialist nurseries or buy ONLINE from mail order supplier Bradshaws Direct who offer one of the widest range of pond products and pond liners.
You may want to design your own garden, employ a garden designer or a landscaper who can design and build your garden.
