How to plan the perfect garden space

When you buy a new home one of the considerations should always be what you are going to do with the garden. For some, this is more important than the actual rooms inside the house! As with anything in life, and the home, you need to have a plan. No matter what the size, but especially if you are looking at middle to a large garden, you’ll need to have some heavy lifting equipment. It’s where you’ll need a Mini Digger Hire Nottingham based company to provide you with the best machines to get the job done.

The first step is to take a look at the space and what you’re going to do with it. For many, the lawn is non-negotiable but there is also a  more modern trend to dispense with it entirely and have raised beds with feature plants and gravel or chip stone walkways between them. An outer rim of borders with a central water feature is also an attractive prospect.

We have been greatly encouraged to grow our own over the last few years. It’s a great way of reducing the carbon footprint of food production. One other addition is to leave space for the shed or, if you’re after something more decorative, a summer house of some kind. Either way, the garden is a great place to relax and unwind in.
