If you’ve decided to transform your garden, you may be feeling very excited about the outcome. However, there are some practical considerations to take into account. Ensure your project is a success by reading our guide to landscaping preparation.
Have A Clear Goal In Mind
Whether you write it down, draw it or make a moodboard, you need to communicate your vision clearly to your landscaper. Consider what you want to achieve. Do you want a relaxing garden, an outdoor entertainment space or a perfectly manicured front lawn? Understanding what your objective are will help you to start your project off with a clear vision. This will also help your landscaper to get a more accurate forecast of how much the work will cost to complete.
Set Your Budget
It can be really tempting to keep adding bits onto your project if you haven’t defined your budget clearly. Sit down and work out how much you’re willing to spend first, then ensure your project sits within that budget well. If you’re already at the top end of your spend, you may want to consider adapting your design to lower costs. This means you can have a contingency budget to cover yourself, should anything not quite go to plan. Remember, your budget will need to account for materials, equipment hire and professional services.
Plan For The Climate & Weather
Bridgend has a relatively mild climate, with showers to be expected throughout the year, occasional frost and freezing in winter and potential heatwaves in summer. Therefore, your choice of plants should take this into account. To ensure your garden thrives, opt for a mix of hardy plants that can withstand frost, as well as some that are okay in drier conditions. A staggered flowering schedule will ensure your garden looks great year-round, and a good landscaper can help you to plan this. Not only will your garden look beautiful, it’ll also support pollinators throughout the year.
