How much does laying a patio and general garden landscaping cost ? Cost factors include the type and cost of materials, choosing concrete slabs can sometimes work out more expensive than using natural stone flagstone like Indian sandstone, so have a good look around your local builders merchant before making the final choice. Garden clearance, leveling slopes, surface preparation, building retaining walls and the groundwork all effect the price as does access to your garden. A rough guide taking into account the above would be about �90 to �120 per sq m. Mike

Garden Decking Fitter

Hardwood or Softwood decking ?

It's not the hardness or softness of the wood. Balsa wood is a hardwood ! .Softwood grows fast and is more porous and if left untreated will rot quickly but tanalising can make softwood decking last as long as some hardwood decking . Hardwood decking is more expensive . Softwood decking costing �3,500 would cost �6,000 in Oak and �10,000 in Teak. Environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives to timber decking are available.
Raised decking, Decking around ponds and standard decking quotes are free. only in North Somerset, Bristol, Weston super mare, Bath, Yeovil, Taunton, Wells, Highbridge, Burnham on sea, Portishead, Clevedon, Nailsea, Yatton and Bridgwater area, unless the decking is part of garden landscaping.

Mikes garden tips for September

Growing a lawn in a shady area of your garden
Grass grows best in sun. No grass will grow for long in dense shade, but a reasonably nice lawn can be grown in partial shade. To grow a lawn in shade you need an area that gets roughly 50% sunlight. More about growing a shady garden lawn on my webpage Shady area lawn.

Sensory garden design
We experience more sensations than the five senses. Gravity, temperature, space and enclosure are some of them. I have tried to list ideas that highlight the many different sensory experiences you may want to think about when designing and landscaping a Sensory garden. sensory garden designs

Block paving
Block paving or pavers are small rectangular bricks made of concrete that are placed on to a level sand bed in a set pattern to form the surface. 100mm of sound well compacted granular sub-base/hard core and 35/50mm grit sand is used for bedding the block paving Concrete block paving used for driveways is 50-60mm thick. Make sure you use Fine silica sand for filling in the gaps .

The cracked flowerpotman

An elderly landscape gardener had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the landscape gardener bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the landscape gardener one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."

The old landscape gardener smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the garden path, but not on the other pot's side?"
"That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the garden path, and every day while we walk back, you water them."

For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers from my garden,to decorate the table.
Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

When you feel tired and low,wander into your garden with a bottle or two of red wine. Close the garden gate, and shut the world out for a while. Pick a bunch of sweet pea growing over the dry stone wall and sitting on the wooden bench under the white Lilac,take a sip or two. It won't be long before you see how perfectly shaped and coloured the Hollyhocks and Wallflowers are, how cool the flagstones feel and how relaxing the scent from the crushed chamomile growing between the stone is.
Family, friends, the bobby on his beat,the postman and the neighbourhood watch person will all linger a little longer inspired by your skills in creating such a peaceful oasis of colour, scent and texture. Now open the garden gate and let the world back in. Its not the red red wine its your garden design and maybe a little help from the flowerpotman landscape gardening team.
