Brick walls can be one of the most expensive of garden landscape features, but if built by a professional brick layer should last you a life time and are a worthwhile investment.

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.

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.
