Landscaping

If you have a decent garden or yard, landscaping is something that should be high on your priority list when it comes to home improvements.

There are so many features that can be integrated into your landscaping project:

• lawn
• garden bed
• swimming pool
• water feature
• deck
• entertaining area
• bbq pit
• shed

You can find some great landscape design features at Garden Design Magazine.

Your Lawn

Lawn is a great part of any yard. It looks nice and is functional for kids and pets to play in. Plus it can also be utilised for a range of other things.

Natural grass can be nice but it is also high maintenance, requiring you to regularly mow and water it. Plus things can easily get caught up in the blades which you need to be careful of.

Artificial grass is another option which requires very little maintenance. Newturf Grasses is an Australia-wide company offering a range of fake grasses that are high quality, affordable and never get hot underfoot.

Your Garden

There are endless options when it comes to a garden. Some great ways to improve it include defined boundaries, garden bed, veggie patch, flowers, trees, gazebos and water features.

Keeping things neat and choosing vegetation that works well for your environment is crucial.

Water Feature

If you like water but just not to the extent of a swimming pool, consider a water feature for your garden. These are a lot easier to manage and look great! Some ideas can be found here.

Landscaping is something that should be planned, so sit down and do your homework before diving in to recreate something beautiful!
