Introduction
The first impression of a visitor to a house is normally formed from
the look of the front garden. Whilst the back garden is generally used
as the area of outside recreation. Using good landscaping it is
possible to achieve attractive and functional areas around a building.
Landscaping includes items such as:
Gates
and Fencing
Fencing forms the boundary of
the garden and can be constructed
in a whole range of materials and styles including, wooden fence
panels, post and rails, willow hurdles, metal railings, etc. Gates
allow the access through the boundary and can be made in a style that
complements the fencing or walls and the overall style of the building.
Sourcing materials from both local and national suppliers and
craftsmen, Regency Construction is able to install fencing and gates
that meet your requirements.
Garden Walls
An alternative to fencing is
masonry garden walls These can be
constructed in brick, block(and rendered) or natural stone to match
their surroundings.
Paths
Paths form the back bone of a
garden and can provide both a
functional means of moving around the garden as well as a design
feature. Paths can be constructed from a variety of materials including
concrete, paving slabs, bricks, gravel and bark.
Patios, Paved and Gravels
Areas.
Patios and paved areas
provide an area to eat and relax outside.
They can be constructed from a wide range of ready-made paving slabs
and bricks and from natural stone. Graveled areas are an alternative to
paved areas and with the use of membranes can be used to slow down the
growth of weeds. Gravel is now available in a whole range of textures
and colours.
Decking
Timber decking has become a
popular alternative to patio and
paved areas and provides an attractive and functional surface for
outside dining and relaxation. Elevated decked areas can be finished
with a range of posts panels and balustrades.
Lawns
Where space allows, few
gardens would look complete without an
area of lawn. Lawns can be either laid from turf or seeded.
Pergolas
Pergolas
provide structure to a garden and can provide useful shade in summer
and a means for plants to climb. They can be constructed in either
timber or metal. They can be constructed from either ready made parts,
or for bespoke designs, constructed from raw materials.
Ponds and water features
Ponds and water features not
only provide additional elements to
the landscape design but also provide a source of relaxation and have
the added benefit of attracting and supporting wildlife.
Ponds can be constructed from pre-shaped or flexible liners to provide
the shape you require and can be finished in a variety of looks from
ornate formal ponds to natural looking wildlife ponds. They can also be
fitted with grids that prevent children accidentally falling in whilst
not detracting from the overall look.
Planting
Plants are the final touch to
any landscape design. Using
the skills and knowledge of local nurseries and garden designers,
Regency Construction is able to supply the plants that suit the look of
the garden you require as well as meeting the soil, light and
environment that the plants require.
