Things to Consider When Renovating Your Garden

Renovating your garden is something that's hard to get round to.
With holidays on the horizon, school terms and visiting friends and relatives there are barely any weekends left in the year to even start considering touching up your garden. How you start renovating is entirely down to the current state your garden is in. However, assuming you want a complete renovation, there are some basic factors you can start to consider. Furniture Garden furniture is key to any garden renovation. Often treated as the centrepiece of any garden, choosing your garden furniture is as important as picking your sofa and chairs in your lounge.

Even if you don't intend your furniture to come a focal point in your garden — think disguised seating areas under trees — garden furniture has a way of drawing people towards it. The type of furniture you choose is down to the overall look you are aiming for.
Companies such as CapitalGardens.co.uk are a good place to start when looking for new garden furniture for their quality and range to choose from. Choosing your furniture should be the last move you make when redesigning your outdoor living area. It's tempting to buy it first, but only after you've chosen your flower colours and tree textures can you truly decide which garden furniture is right for you.

What you choose at first might look incredibly out of place when it comes to finishing your renovation. Different textures When planning, designing and renovating your garden, all the materials you use will add shape, texture and depth to your garden. Adding texture to your garden is as simple as adding different plants and flowers to successfully mixing interesting combinations together, like fuchsia and fern. Those with green fingers will want to plant everything and anything, but having a strategic think about what types of flora you may want to showcase in your garden will go a long way.

It can be daunting, choosing plants, if you are not fully acquainted with their characteristics. It does take a while to become familiar with different types of plants, but some research goes a long way. Look online at the different leaf compositions and whether you'd prefer soft flowers or sharper blades.
A mix of the two can look striking. Flamboyant flowers also work very well against a backdrop of simple feathery wisps like heather — it's all in the texture. Ponds Generally, ponds and water features require the most forward planning but are well worth it.

Note that if you are planning to build a pond, it should be done before anything else. First of all, you need space, light (with a good amount of shade to avoid an excess of algae) and a good location in terms of utility piping — this post is essential for the water supply.
Calculating potentially how wide and how deep your pond can be is also essential. Your soil type will dictate whether your pond should be sunken (soft) or raised (hard). Also consider safety. If you have young children, then it's worth either investing in a fence or a heavy duty steel mesh which will not collapse under a child's weight.

Once you've designed your pond and had it built, it is essential that you give the new environment time to find its equilibrium before adding fish.
