Decking has grown in popularity in the last decade. The U.K. Teesside and the Tees Valley are no exception.

The style and design of your decking area

When deciding on what type of decked area to have - and there are lots of choices. We recommend that you first decide what it is you want from your decking area. Is the decking area going to be a place to sit and socialise with your family and friends on a warm summer's evening. Perhaps you want an area of complete tranquility and seclusion away from the kids so you can relax and read your papers on a weekend. Ask yourself, what you are aiming to create visually with your decking space.

Solving drainage problems

Gardens in Northern England are often prone to poor drainage, especially in areas of 'new build' homes like those at Coulby Newham, Ingleby Barwick, Yarm, Middlesbrough, Stockton on Tees and Darlington, where the land has only recently been developed. The soil is often poor and is predominantly clay. Green Onion Landscaping can advise on several ways to improve a problem garden's drainage and we are very familiar with the new developments in the Teesside / Cleveland area, so you can rest assured that when you get your garden landscaped by us, we will be able to resolve any drainage issues which would otherwise ruin your beautiful garden landscape and we will make your landscaping project look fantastic, no matter what the weather or time of year.

The most important part of planning a new landscape or improving an existing one is getting to know your site. The character of a plot is hugely influenced by the shape, the aspect and the views (or lack of them) from various points in your garden. At first sight you may think your garden is unpromising , however there are no gardens' which cannot be improved by thoughtful design and careful planning.

We will design your landscape garden by listening and understanding yours and your garden's needs, requirements and desires. We do not believe in our customers' spending unnecessary amounts of money for computer aided designs to show you what your new patio, lawn, decking, fencing or block paving area will look like, when a good old fashioned sketch and a full explanation of the work to be carried out will achieve the same result and cost you nothing.

Outdoor lighting can make an ordinary garden look spectacular, highlighting your landscape's best features and leaving the rest masked by darkness. With careful placing, out door lights can reveal a side of a garden landscape that is invisible during the day time- the silhouettes of trees, textures in bark and brickwork and the play of shadows on a path or wall. Outdoor lighting can create illusions too, both of space and intimacy. A seat facing towards a brightly lit garden border will feel more private for being in the dark even if during the day time the same seat is marooned in the middle of the garden lawn.

Outdoor lighting is a great way to light up your garden landscape and provide it with an attractive ambiance on a summer evening. Lighting also also makes life simpler and safer on those Autumn evenings when it starts to get dark earlier.

Raised beds are extremely useful and attractive features to any garden landscape. They raise plants to eye level for more interest, and can follow the rise of steps or ramps and help reduce the impact of level changes. Raised beds also make gardening much easier for those with disabilities or the elderly. They reduce the need for reaching and bending. They can be filled with different soils to accommodate differing species of plants which perhaps would not grow elsewhere in your own garden soil.

We supply, deliver and lay turf in Teesside, Tees Valley, Cleveland, North Yorkshire and the North East.

When to lay new lawn turf

You can lay turf all year round. January, February, March and April are the best months to lay new turf, so that your new turfed lawn is ready for the summer months.

Why think of  laying a new turf lawn in the Summer months when you could have it a new lawn laid in the Winter months so that it is ready for the Summer.

Turfing later in the year

• If you lay turf in the Winter months it requires less looking after - it doesn't dry out so much.
  
  

• You are less likely to have the kids running over it every five minutes - Children are less likely to be on the turf in the winter months.
  
  

• New turf won't stop you from using your lawn - you will be less likely to be sat out in the cooler weather.
  
  

• Wetter weather means you don't have to do as much watering to the new turf.
  
  

Save yourself money - It is cheaper for us to supply you turf in the Winter months.

Almost every homeowner can include a pond or water feature in their garden. In new build homes space can some times be limited, however, a patio or even a conservatory can accommodate a spouting garden ornament or a pebble pool or miniature waterfall. Smaller water features also make excellent ‘child-safe’ options for younger home owners.
