raised beds -patio- North east

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.

The most dramatic use of a raised bed is to introduce level changes in your garden landscape and of course they offer the opportunity of planting an extensive range of flowers, herbs or vegetables throughout your garden landscape.

Another use for a raised bed is to create a permanent area for you plants in otherwise bare places of your garden landscape i.e patios.

You can also fit other features such as seating into the walls of raised beds or you can link raised beds to pond areas which can be constructed of the same brick or building material. a raised bed really is a great way of adding an ever changing feature to your garden.

Many households and schools in and around Teesside including Stockton on Tees and Darlington are now building raised beds in their landscapes. It has become a trend to grow your own vegetables. Raised beds are ideal for this. Schools are using their raised beds to educate children about the importance of a good diet and how to grow vegetables. You can easily grow your own vegetables in a raised bed or grow a vast array of herbs which can be used all year round.

Raised beds are great for small plots of vegetables and flowers or herbs they have the added advantage of keeping weeds from you pathways and your garden. Raised beds prevent soil compaction, provide good drainage and serve as fantastic barriers to garden pests like slugs and snails.

By raising the soil level, raised beds reduce back strain when bending over to tend to your bed. We are able to construct raised beds from many different materials including , hay, timber and bricks. Raised beds are a garden feature we are seeing more and more demand for.
