<span style="font-family: inherit;">In certain situations, a new hedge for your property could be the perfect solution to help you resolve an issue that in some way compromises your enjoyment of your home. Sometimes it is not until you have been living in a property for some time that you come to realise that being overlooked by passersby or your neighbours feels intrusive, or perhaps reach a point where you have had enough of an ugly view or a main road that looks, sounds or feels far too close for comfort.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">By simply planting up a new natural hedge using plants of your choice, these types of issues and many more can be overcome and managed effectively without breaking the bank. Not only can a hedge help you to overcome issues that affect your enjoyment of your home, they can also do a lot to improve the look of your home and garden, making an attractive new feature. A properly maintained natural hedge can be used to complement any home or exterior space.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To create or improve privacy for your home and garden, look for plants that are fast growing with the potential to achieve a reasonable height and protect you from feeling exposed. There is nothing worse than looking up from whatever you might be doing in the privacy of your home and realising you have someone gaping at you! A tall, reasonably established hedge can give you complete privacy and if required can additionally be used to boost security for your home. A tall, dense or thorny hedge planted around your boundary, makes it difficult, or in some cases impossible for unwanted visitors to enter your property without using the desired route. As part of your security plan a hedge can play a key role in your homes security, creating an impenetrable barrier wherever you need one and giving you peace of mind.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">The environment around us is subject to change over time, buildings are constructed, changed and pulled down and occasionally the view from your house or garden can be affected by an addition that is out of your control. Rather than put up with overlooking a row of bins or some other monstrosity you could well do without, a hedge may be just the answer you have been looking for. With the right choice of plants and a creative planting design, you could potentially screen an unwanted view and disappear it altogether.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Busy roads and industrial units also have the potential to cause stress and problems for the homeowner and in some circumstances; natural hedges can be used to overcome issues in this area too. By this I mean issues caused by excessive noise or pollution. Surprisingly, through planting a double row of hedge using the right type of plants, noise pollution can be significantly reduced. Equally, certain plants can be used to manage the unwanted effects resulting from other pollution and traffic.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Excessively strong prevailing winds can wreak havoc if your home is exposed with no protection. This is another problem that can be combated with plants, by using them to form a barrier and give effective protection.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you plan to use a natural hedge to improve your home, it may help to visit your local garden centre where you can get some professional advice regarding the best plants for your project and then take things from there.</span></div>

<div id="article-content">
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Garden design is a very personal thing and is often an expression of your personality. What I like, you may not and vice versa. Some people like neat and tidy gardens where there are no surprises, others love the thrill of windy paths, lots of different plant material and not knowing what is around the corner. There are three main styles of garden: formal, semi formal and informal. They can then be divided into many types of gardens and that depends on what you would like. Garden design can be intimately tidied to the style of your house as in example of the grand </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">French</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> chateaux where the geometric patterns of the garden mimic the geometric construction of the house or it can have no connection to your house at all.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Some people are lucky and have this innate gift of knowing how to design space, making it a pleasing place to be in. Others don't have this gene and find it very difficult to visualise how the space will work. To create a good design it is important you understand that design is about managing space and people moving around it. The core of good garden design centres round patterns and the space within these patterns. By using geometrical shapes, circles, triangles, rectangles </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">etc.</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> you can achieve a unified feel to your garden. So you need to think about ground patterns and movement around your garden. Where would you like people to go? Ground patterns can be achieved with the use of bricks, paving and plant material such as cut grass </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">etc.</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Formal gardens are symmetrical and geometrical and are strict in terms of repeating patterns and plant materials on either side. It is very controlled, plants are clipped, shaped, manipulated regularly and today is often suitable for small gardens like court yards. Urns, balustrades, stone, gravel paths, parterres, formal pools and framed views are all part of the formal garden. There are no surprises; you know what to expect.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Informal designs are asymmetrical and not as regimented. Plant material is allowed to spill over the structural elements such as walls, steps and paths. Plant material is allowed to self-seed and wander around the garden. Informal garden design is softer, full of surprises thus you don't know what to expect.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And semi formal is the combination of the above two. Usually it is the built structures such as retaining walls, paths and steps that are formal and the informal element is the plant material which is allowed to spill over them, softening their hard outlines.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Within these three types, there are many different styles of gardens to choose from such as contemporary, Japanese, Mediterranean, cottage, courtyard, kitchen garden or secret garden.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Contemporary is a modern style that likes to reflect the surrounding but also use a wide range of plant material. Form and texture of foliage are as important as flowers. Hard landscaping is woven into geometrical shaped buildings; all of which flow into the wider landscape. Plants are used as focal points to highlight the architectural forms.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cottage was a late nineteenth-century ideal to return to the simple cottages of the country. They were planted with hardy bulbs, flowers, fruit bushes and herbs and vegetables. They were geometric, colours were harmonised and luxurious as plants grew well as they were heavily manured regularly.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mediterranean is not limited to one particular area but are defined according to hot summers and low rainfall. They encompass entertaining areas, shade, good views and dramatic shadows. Hot colourful plants are used and lots of lush green foliage plants to create a cool atmosphere. Plants need to be drought tolerant. Evergreen plants are popular because they cast shade on hot days. Walls are white washed to reflect the sun, pergolas built to create shade and use terracotta pots. There is often a water feature and water provides cooling vibes.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Japanese gardens encompasses religion and Japan's cultural history. Japanese gardens are very symbolic often the symbols relate to nature. Plants are 'tamed' and there is an emphasis on evergreen trees and shrubs. They are very controlled and often minimalist. True Japanese gardens are contemplative a place of meditation and great calm.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Planning</b><br /><b>The Three Planning Stages</b><br /><b>The First Steps</b><br /><b>Site Analysis</b><br /><b>Points to Consider</b><br /><b>Sun conditions</b><br /><b>Wind</b><br /><b>Views</b><br /><b>Utilities and Service Lines</b><br /><b>Principles of Garden Design</b><br /><b>Choosing Plant Materials</b><br /><b>Colour</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you feel overwhelmed and don't know where to start when designing your garden, I suggest you break it up into areas called rooms thus dividing one big space into several smaller spaces. For example: there is the front garden, the side garden and the back garden. Once you have decided where they begin and end you can then divide each of those areas up again. For example in the back garden you could have the entertaining area, the grass/children's area, the utilities area (includes the compost heap and shed), the pool area and the vegetable/orchard area. Once you have defined the areas/rooms you can tackle one at a time, thus making a huge project into several smaller projects.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">To create an interesting and exciting garden there are 3 sets of plans (may be four if you need an engineer's structural plans) you need to devise:- Site Analysis Plan, Concept Plan and Planting Plan, usually all drawn to scale.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">To design a garden that works there are several things you need to do before buying plants and planting them. If you follow these steps you are more likely to have a successful garden.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">It is important to make an inventory of the area you are designing. Things to include are:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Levels - steep/flat</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Aspect - North/south</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sun/shade</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sun Summer/Winter</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Shadows</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Existing trees and buildings</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wind</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Views - good and bad</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Soil conditions</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Entrances - Front/back doors</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Power lines</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Underground cables and pipes</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Clothes line</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Fences</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sheds and garages</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paved and unpaved areas</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Patio/BBQ</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lighting</span></div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Drainage - </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">run-off</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> of storm watered</span></span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once you have noted the above, it is time to draw up the space. You can draw it roughly (not to scale) but eventually you will have to draw it to scale. Start by measuring the area you are designing, draw it to scale ie. 1:100 and put all the above points onto your drawn plan. All these influences need to be drawn on paper, so that you can gauge any trends. For example there might be a paved path from the back door to the garage, but everyone takes a short cut across the lawn, creating a desire line. No - one uses the paved path. So perhaps pave the desire line and make it the official path.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next step is the concept plan and this is the plan where you put down you ideas. It can be as wild and as adventurous as you like. Forget cost, enjoy your creativity. This is the stage where you put down your dreams of what you have always wanted. Later on, you hip pocket will decide for you whether you can have them. Anything is possible, so don't be shy, dream away. Again this can be roughly drawn or to scale, it is up to you.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The third and final plan is the planting plan and it is preferable that it is drawn to scale as this allows you to know exactly how many plants you will need. It incorporates all the ideas you have decided upon and shows you how the finished garden is going to look. It is the road map which will guide you to building your new garden.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There may be a fourth plan if your site is steep or you are having major elements built, as you may need the advice of an engineer.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">Think about your soil conditions, is it heavy clay or light and sandy? What plants will grow in these conditions? Are some areas boggy and some always dry?</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">The sun is higher in the sky during spring and summer and shadows are shorter. Whereas in winter, the sun is lower in the sky and casts longer shadows. So a plant might be in full sun in summer and complete shade in winter. Can it tolerate this? Also think about the conditions the plants require. Are they full sun plants like roses or shade loving plants like azaleas?</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You also need to think about wind direction. Which way does the prevailing wind come from? Screens and hedges are one way of managing this problem but what problems are they going to cause? Making the block feel narrow, casting shadows etc? It is important to know because some plants don't like wind and it is no good putting the BBQ/entertainment area in an uncomfortable spot.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">Views out your window or from your garden are very important. Some are intrusive while others are desired. If you wish to block out flats/neighbours etc. you may need to put in a higher fence or a hedging screen of some kind. Or you may want to design your garden to enhance the view of the mountain, ocean etc.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">You also need to be aware where your services and utilities are; things like clothesline, overhead power lines etc. If you damage the gas, telephone or electricity lines, you are liable to pay for their repair.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">To create a well designed garden, it is important to put the right plant in the right position. This means considering the cultural requirements of the plant. For example putting a full sun plant such as rose into a shady position isn't going to work, because the rose won't be receiving the right amount of sunlight for it to grow. The idea of good garden design is to follow this philosophy, using the placement of plants to create mystery, tension and surprise by using tricks of the eye, colours and textures.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tension, mystery and surprise make a garden interesting. One way to create these is to use hedges, low walls, screens, paths, steps to make individual 'garden rooms' with tension points that captures your attention on the way. For example a narrow oblong garden can be made more interesting if you can't see the back fence - that there is a feature (plant or statue etc.) that obscures the fence. It also becomes more interesting if the path way is narrow then opens up into another room. A winding path adds mystery to the garden if you can't see what is around the corner. Surprise comes when you go around the corner and discover a focal point.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A focal point is something like a seat/statue/water feature that leads your eye directly to it. For example - a pergola that has a statue at the end of it. The statue is the feature and is the reason why you look/walk to see it. Another example of a focal point is a pathway leading through a door that is open and shows a vista of the wider landscape.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The success of the focal point can depend on the how successfully the ground patterns lead you there. If the paving encourages you along this path thus creating some tension and mystery, you are more likely to follow the path to see what's there because you have become inquisitive. Narrow paths encourage you to walk quickly and not to dilly dally along the way, where as wide paths say stroll, take you time, look at the surrounding vegetation. A gentle curve can be negotiated at speed, but a tight curve can't be so people slow down as there is risk involved. Paving is used as a directional tool says don't walk that way, but walk this way. Edging bricks say don't step over this - this is a boundary. Paving can also be used to reflect the ground plane of the house or other shapes in the garden.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Long narrow gardens have a strong directional emphasis that needs to be broken up. Square plots are static. To solve these problems the space's shape needs to be changed. A circular design distracts the eye from the straight lines of the boundary fence. You could also use a series of rectangles using the boundaries as part of the design.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another method is to turn the garden onto a 45 degree angle. A long diagonal line will immediately create a feeling of space. The paving near the house could be done on an angle and high light the diagonal line of the entire garden.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gardens with a dog-leg in them can utilise the bend by using tension, mystery and surprise to lead you around the corner to a focal point of some kind.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unified space is created by controlling the movement around the garden. It is the way areas are linked together by paths, bridges, pergolas, steps and terraces that determine whether a garden is successful. Careless placing can ruin the flow of the garden. If you wish to direct someone's attention to a particular point then there must be a clear reason in the design for following this pathway.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ground levels are very important when designing a garden. If a slope is too steep to walk down safely, steps may be needed and if the entire block is on a slope, the whole area may need to be terraced. What material you use is also important. Steps should not be of slippery materials and gravel may wash away. The surfaces need to be flat otherwise they could be dangerous and people will not want to walk along them and instead they may create a desire lines.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Levels help to create interest and 'rooms' in a garden because you move from one place to another by steps/paths/etc. Allow your levels to gently flow into one another and keep them simple. Don't over decorate them. A slope up from the house will appear foreshortened whereas a slope down from the house will appear larger.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">There are 3 types of gardens:- the plants man, the garden designer and the gardener's (mix of the first two). The plants man gardens consist of lots of singular plantings, unconnected and often rare and difficult to source. The garden designer's garden consists of plants that are tried and tested - they use plants that they know and how they perform. The gardener's garden has learned that their favourite plants can be more effective if planted in a scheme.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When choosing plants you must consider what the conditions are of your garden. There is no point putting alkaline tolerant plants in acid soil or vise versa. It won't work! You need to think about what your plants you have chosen require moist soils, dry soils, shade, sun, well drained, boggy soils. If you do your research correctly and place your plants in the right position, you are well on the way to a successful garden.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The height and spread of your plants also needs to be considered. Tall growing plants are placed at the back of the garden bed, graduating down to the low plants. Remember some plants send up flower spikes that may be much larger than the plant itself, so they need to be positioned according to their flower spike height. Some plants are bushy so don't forget to leave sufficient room for them to spread. They may need annual pruning to keep them in check.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.5em;">Another trick in the designing tool bag is using colour. Colour is the sensation of illumination which is light. The way colours inter-react with each other depends on their position in colour wheel. Manipulating colour is great fun and can create all sorts of illusions. Colours are divided into 2 groups primary red, yellow, blue and secondary green, violet, orange. Secondary colours are made of combining two primary such as mixing blue and yellow together to create green. You can make a space look cold or create distance by using pale and brown colours. You can also make a space looker bigger than it really is by using warm colours such as oranges, reds or yellows. If you want to make a space look closer to you, again use warm colours. As reds, oranges or yellow are very busy colours to the eye, it is a good idea to intersperse white flowers or grey foliage plants to calm the visual scene down. White and grey also intensify blue and pale colours.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing to remember about the Australia sun is that the best time to look at our gardens is in the late afternoon when the sunlight is not as strong. Our hot sun tends to fade our flowers colours and the glare at mid-day tends to wash the colour out.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are feeling overwhelmed about designing your garden, divide your space up and take it slowly, completing one section at a time. Don't start another part until you have finished the section you are working on and very soon you will have a beautiful garden. Remember gardens are ephemeral, it is a process that is for ever evolving. You never really finish.</span></div>

Getting your knickers in a twist about selecting a tree should not be on the menu, so here’s our guide on how you can pick the perfect pine (or fir, or spruce)…<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSubPwdTfWfpbOi-V8nBEG-TNBVcS84V7iaJE70TvbFE4SFuC0U5l7YC6uSbbW3Hc859V7CIEGfjxlo0bdWDkH4X4G-DfXhpjtxR3JasAqYlDWWIE6G-a4dxhsFDJNwwG4NS7sUCv56iq8/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSubPwdTfWfpbOi-V8nBEG-TNBVcS84V7iaJE70TvbFE4SFuC0U5l7YC6uSbbW3Hc859V7CIEGfjxlo0bdWDkH4X4G-DfXhpjtxR3JasAqYlDWWIE6G-a4dxhsFDJNwwG4NS7sUCv56iq8/s320/4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
1) Firstly, you need to pick a spot for the tree. This is of the utmost importance; if you don’t decide a location before you go out, you run the risk of bringing home something which looks nothing short of ridiculous despite you spending three hours shunting it around the room. Think about (and if you’re really dedicated, measure) the height and width of the space so you can bear these dimensions in mind when you’re eyeing up potential trees.<br />
<br />
2) Once you’re out browsing the trees, you’d be well advised not to purchase one which has already been packed into netting, as you’ll have no idea what shape it really is. Unless you like to live dangerously, in which case, gamble away!<br />
<br />
3) Consider the shape of the tree, bearing in mind the space you've prepared for it at home. Are you looking for a tall, thin specimen, or one with a bit of volume? Don’t be put off if you find a tree that’s perfect except for a couple of rogue branches; you can trim these at home.<br />
<br />
4) You can check how fresh a tree is by having a bit of a feel. Give the bottom branches a gentle rub; you want a tree which seems quite flexible and doesn't shed its needles – if it’s dropping before you even get it home, you’ll spend the best part of the next few weeks glued to the hoover (especially if you happen to have a pet who is fond of exploring the underside of your Christmas tree).<br />
<br />
5) In general, you’ll have three choices of tree: pine, fir and spruce. The latter is known for being a shedder, but this can be minimised by keeping the tree well-watered. The main difference between these species lies in their appearance, and there’s an excellent article on <a href="http://www.finegardening.com/plants/articles/spruce-fir-pine.aspx">Fine Gardening</a> about how you can tell these apart.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
6) Finally, think about the longevity of the tree. Many retailers offer trees with roots so you can replant these after the season’s finished – subject to you having the time/inclination/space. However, do keep in mind that the tree might not necessarily ‘take’ to your garden, so don’t make this your main criteria. It’s better to have a perfect rootless tree than running the risk of buying a less suitable one for replanting.<br />
<br />
Hopefully this will help you whilst you’re out tree shopping. Let us know how you get on!

Follow these simple tips to prepare your outdoor space for the coming autumn and winter months.<br /><br /><u><b>Garden Furniture</b></u><br /><br />
Depending upon the weather, the time for lounging outside and having barbecues may well be over. When the outdoor temperatures start to drop, be sure to protect all garden furniture with strong waterproof coverings. This will secure any outdoor furniture against the rigours of the coming colder weather.<br />

Don´t forget the <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/shop/parasols.html">garden parasol</a> as this is very susceptible to higher winds in the autumn. The parasol can either be removed indoors or left in place and protected with a <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/shop/parasol-covers.html">parasol cover</a>. This means that you'll still be able to make use of it just in case there are fine autumn days when you wish to sit outside for a while.<br /><br /><u><b>Lawns</b></u><br /><br />
Increase the maximum height of the cutting blade when mowing, clear away leaves and other debris regularly, and scarify the surface vigorously to clear away the dead moss etc.<br />
<br />
Next, aerate the ground with a garden fork or a rotary aerator. Once this has been done, a suitable top-dressing can be applied to feed the grass and stimulate future growth.<br /><br /><u><b>Flower Borders</b></u><br /><br />
Faded blooms should be dead-headed every week and any annuals that are finished dug out. Roses should also be dead-headed and have any tall stems cut back.<br />

<br />
While doing the flower borders, now is the time to collect seed heads, which can be dried indoors, overwintered in paper bags and planted next spring.<br /><br /><u><b>Vegetable and Fruit Garden</b></u><br /><br />
Onions can now be lifted and laid out somewhere to dry, prior to storing, and sweetcorn should be harvested if the silks have changed from their golden summer colour to brown.<br />
<br />
Sowing outside winter crops can also begin, but use cloches as they will not only protect the seeds, but also speed up germination.<br />
<br />
Autumn-cropping fruit such as blackberries and raspberries should be netted to protect them from the birds.<br /><br /><u><b>The Greenhouse</b></u><br /><br />
Check the structure and ensure that it will be robust enough to see out the winter, making any necessary repairs and giving it a clean to remove any dead matter that might harbour disease.<br />

The Turino <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/">garden wall parasol</a> easily
fixes onto the wall and folds away neatly, with no heavy base required. The
high flexibility of the arm and rotation can also offer the perfect shade for
long/narrow terrace areas or where floor mounting is not preferred. It can be
moved and locked in various positions depending on where shade is required. It
is equally ideal for professional commercial environments as well as domestic
settings.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The hanging <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/">parasol canopy</a> is
manufactured from 100% Polyester, making the canopy durable, lightweight and
easy to clean. It and also gives excellent sun protection, keeping both you and
your parasol safe from the sun's strong summer glare and damaging UV rays. The
Turino Parasol is also shower proof so a change in weather shouldn’t
necessarily mean the end of the party! The canopy comes in a choice of colours;
beige or dark granite and the frame is a dark bronze.</div>

This is one where the weather pattern is characterised by long hot dry summers, short cold wet winters and relatively brief periods of spring and autumn. This can be achieved by careful management of the garden and the introduction of items like <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/">parasols</a> to provide shade.<br />

<b> Efficient Watering</b><br />
<br />
Make sure that any watering is efficient and effective. Even water wise, climate compatible plants may need to be watered for the first year or two until they get established.<br />
<br />
A drip fed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrigation">irrigation system</a> is often the simplest and most effective way of ensuring the roots get adequate water without scorching the leaves.<br />
<br />
Using shade is a simple way to control the amount of sunlight and heat into your garden. This can directly affect the amount of watering required by garden plants.<br />
<br />
<b>Creating Shade in the Garden</b><br />
<br />
Natural shade in form of structures or trees is present in many gardens but some south facing properties may need additional shade to protect either vulnerable plants or create a safe space in which to sit out and enjoy the garden without fear of skin damage.<br />
<br />
Use a garden shade screen to keep the hot sun from damaging tender crops in the garden.<br />
Although plants love the sun, sometimes the heat from the sun's rays wilts the plants so quickly they die. Through the use of a garden shade screen, the plants have relief from the harsh rays and enjoy a reprieve. Another way of achieving shade in the garden is by constructing features such as pergolas, arches and tunnels, and choosing climbing plants to grow over them.<br />

<b>Ideal Garden Shades</b><br />
<br />
Umbrellas, shade cloth and sails are all effective means of providing shade. Hanging parasols suit a garden which perhaps does not have room for one with a conventional base and pole as it can be fixed to a wall or the post tucked out of the way to the side.<br />
<br />
Tilting/angled or <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/shop/cantilever-parasols.html">garden cantilever parasols</a>, are a good way to achieve mobile shade for different parts of your garden throughout the day. Some parasols are now available with fully UV repellent canopies, which is good news for those with sensitive skin. <br />
<br />
By implementing simple changes in
our gardens, even the hottest and sunniest areas can be transformed from a
dusty, arid landscape into a thriving oasis which can be safely enjoyed by
everyone.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01820637423389775164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081413738974774548.post-52269913191041018962012-06-22T05:59:00.000-07:002012-06-22T05:59:56.421-07:005 Tips for Creating the Perfect PatioA patio is a just one of those special places in your home that is a secluded spot that you can chill out, spend time with friends, or curl up in the sun with a good book. As an extension of your home into your garden, you want to create a unique space that is both a haven, and an inviting area to spend time in.<br /><br />When creating your perfect patio, there are a few key elements that should be addressed in order to make the space one you can be proud of. Here are some tips for creating the perfect patio space.<br /><b><br />1. Plants</b><br /><br />Ambience is key to a successful outdoor area, and plants are a huge part of creating the setting. No matter the size of space, potted plants, shrubs and colourful blooms, are just the right touch to your perfect patio space. If you have regular guests, plant some colourful perennials to brighten up the area. It just makes it that much more inviting and finishes the space. If your space is small, put up some window boxes or fence-mounted containers to keep the floor space open.<br /><b><br />2. Outdoor Patio Furniture</b><br /><br />Another important element to your outdoor entertainment area is the choice of garden furniture. This includes traditional seating, shaded areas - <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/shop/parasol-accessories.html">parasols and accessories</a>, heating and more. Invest in a few solid pieces of eye catching furniture like a few comfortable chairs with soft, plush cushions.<br />
<br />
Outdoor patio furniture sets are available in a wide range of styles so there’ll be something to suit. If your patio is not covered, make sure that your garden furniture will be able to withstand the weather elements. You will also need storage space for seat cushions when not in use.<br /><br /><b>3. Lighting</b><br />

<br />
Nothing sets the mood quite like the right lighting, and having mood lighting in your outdoor area will create the atmosphere you are looking for. Sophisticated outdoor lighting, such as <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/shop/parasol-lights.html">parasol lights</a>, can be strategically hung, creating a romantic and discreet look that will create a soft glow once the sun has sunk below the horizon. Look at using energy saving options, and systems that are light sensitive, which switch on when dusk falls and switch themselves off at first light.<br /><b><br />4. Sun Protection </b><br />

This is an important one if you would like to enjoy your outdoor patio space during the summer months. Family and friends will like a shaded space to relax in, if the British weather is kind, and the sun is beating down on them.<br />
<br />
When deciding on what sun protection to use, <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/">garden parasols</a> work for just about any size of space. They can be folded up and packed away during the winter months when they are not in use. Large areas are suitable for retractable awnings, mounted on walls.<br /><br /><b>5. Storage Items for the Patio</b><br /><br />If you plan to have a barbeque or a grill on your patio, you will need to have sufficient storage for the utensils that will need to be packed way when now in use. Include spacious storage items and make them double up as garden furniture for your patio. Generous wooden benches with storage under the seats or cube stools can be an excellent storage space for grill utensils, table cloths and even chair cushions.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01820637423389775164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081413738974774548.post-9700952062997631952012-05-16T07:33:00.000-07:002012-05-16T07:41:47.785-07:00New Cantilever Parasols<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This is the latest and greatest cantilever parasol that's recently been added to the range. These types of <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/">garden parasols</a> are simple to use and double up as the perfect sun shade and provide shelter in any short-lived light rain.<br />
<br />
<b>Junior Roma 2.75M Cantilever Parasol</b><br />
<br />
This particular Roma style parasol gives the ultimate coverage yet provides you with great value for money. The canopy gives a very generous shade area with a 2.75M square spread.<br />
<br />
You can use this parasol in many locations around the garden, the patio being the obvious choice, because it gives you flexibility with a 360 degree rotation. You can also choose the perfect canopy shade colour to suit your style choice: Dark Green, Grey or Beige.<br />
<br />
The canopy material itself comes in a high grade polyester 300g/m2, has vents for additional air, and is resistant to rotting. The parasol canopy has an easy open/close system, a locking handle device, so anyone can operate it. A superb parasol choice.<br />

The flexibility of this parasol is one of the reasons that you should consider it. The larger shade area doesn't come at a vastly increased price either.<br />
<br />
Again, in keeping with the Roma Parasol Range, you can choose from three elegant colours: Dark Green, Grey or Beige.<br />

Using the cantilever parasol is really easy. It again pivots through 360 degrees and comes with a simple handle that operates the tilting function.<br />

If you are already starting to think about spring and the warmer weather, maybe you are starting to consider getting the basic jobs done around the garden. A little basic maintenance of the garden area along with making sure the patio furniture is ready for when the warmer weather arrives is ideal at this time of the year, just to get you in the mood for the sunnier warmer weather ahead.<br />
<br />
Along with making sure any garden furniture you have has survived the worst of the weather, which may entail a little simple work such as a gentle rub down and a coat of preservative for wooden patio furniture, or something more simple such as a good wash down for rattan weave furniture if you have a <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/" target="_blank"><b>garden parasol</b></a> it maybe worth taking a look at it to see what kind of condition it’s in. If stored in the garage or similar dry area garden parasols should retain their great condition from one year to the next, however if you store them in an outdoor shed, or even just leave them out on the patio you maybe hunting around for replacement parasol covers before the sun starts to shine and the parasol is really needed. <br />

A simple steel plate parasol base may suffice for your everyday needs, however if you are looking for something different why not consider a stainless steel base which offers more sparkle to proceedings.<br />
<br />
The collection of bases available makes it simple to choose a product capable of offering you the security of ensuring your parasol will not get blown away even on the windiest day. A cast iron parasol base is heavy enough to offer sufficient piece of mind to ensure you need not worry about your parasol surviving any windy weather experienced.<br />

With parasol bases being particularly heavy for a great reason, you may want to consider a base which has castors for easy movement. These are ideal for free standing parasols offering simple movement of a parasol where required as the sun moves around during the day. With a brake mechanism the castors can be locked into place when not required to stop your parasol rolling away!<br />
<br />
If you use your parasol on a garden lawn a popular alternative to consider is a garden lawn spike. These are ideal as no marks are left on the lawn area, other than weigh marks from the parasol itself. These provide a simple solution for lawn options.<br />
<br />
If you are thinking of investing in a parasol this coming year, or already have a garden parasol consider the options for a garden parasol base. You will be suprised how much easy they make utilising your parasol.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081413738974774548.post-55147945968621393882012-01-18T02:16:00.000-08:002012-01-18T02:16:59.684-08:00Cantilever Parasols<div align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="background: transparent; font-style: normal; line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0cm; orphans: 2; page-break-after: auto; page-break-before: auto; page-break-inside: auto; text-decoration: none; widows: 2;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">With a wide range of sizes available, there are many attractive designs and shapes such as round, oval and square and with sizes ranging from two metres in diameter up to as large as four, you can be sure protection is easily found during the very hot days of summer. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Five things to consider when buying your parasol - </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A cantilever <a href="http://www.gardenparasol.co.uk/" target="_blank">parasol</a> can be positioned almost anywhere, where are you considering locating a parasol?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What kind of base is best? You may need to consider the elements (e.g. wind and weather) and also where the parasol will sit. i.e. if on the lawn does it have a spike base or a sand/water filled base.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">How big do you need your parasol to be? Most cantilever parasols start at 3 metres in size. Can you fit that into your garden area comfortably, is that large enough? Do you need one bigger?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There are various types of frames available. What type of frame do you need to suit your requirements? It's worth checking out which type suits. These include a collar tilt, a turn tilt a crank tilt and a push-button tilt. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg99A01TRisf0WEDlOyj-BbyeSUDTO7Ht21428rmziqXh7lHdehC6lOQGfK32tnrn5x0jdPDf_CftIwjhSpjL0BU0xu5UWTTxCOnm9ASAp5zxFHeWJl5RMu5NLTGLuDYY2NZOKmYBcLK84/s1600/cl-rm350-image2-lg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg99A01TRisf0WEDlOyj-BbyeSUDTO7Ht21428rmziqXh7lHdehC6lOQGfK32tnrn5x0jdPDf_CftIwjhSpjL0BU0xu5UWTTxCOnm9ASAp5zxFHeWJl5RMu5NLTGLuDYY2NZOKmYBcLK84/s200/cl-rm350-image2-lg.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In the UK most parasol canopy materials offer some form of waterproof resistance together with blocking UV rays. PVC canopy material is ideal thanks to the need to repel water. </span>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Most canopies have telescopic wheels to assist in moving into position in the garden, and with a waterproof polyester canopy if you do get caught short in a summer downpour you can be confident you won't get too wet!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A parasol is a wonderful addition to any outdoor area, and a cantilever parasol adds that touch of mediterranean luxury for when the summer sun is beating down and a good book and sun lounger look favourite over anything else that needs doing on the day.

From our gardens with manicured lawns and borders with rose trees and shrubs, we enjoy
making the most of any good weather we have. As part of our outdoor area a patio offers superb flexibility offering a gateway from the
house to the softer areas of the garden. We can use it all year round and by utilising garden furniture we are able to get the best
advantage of a patio area.<br />
<br />
Creating the perfect patio is no simple thing. Once an approximate shape for a patio is decided upon there are many options to consider. Factors such as the design and choice of materials to be used for one, from simple paving slabs through to more elaborate block paving in a
of materials for a more personalised paving pattern, for example.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh6qPnpNhTp2eDrACM3sVdhI5FU4Euon685A4t50c8vugUv1qQRNxrFZyR49qur5-THl5HAVttqbuA5knXIETdcPtp_67oogF6n2xiEzYDrqcm0DMn6VpkxG05Aa4kMVrWGJSVrvXjXHk/s400/everest-patio.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;" width="220" />However help is at hand from <a href="http://www.everest.co.uk/driveways-patios/" rel="nofollow">Everest</a> who can help with all aspects of your design including drainage, walling, kerbs and edging. With the facility to offer a bespoke design including taking into account issues such as sunny spots and access into the home, Everest are the ideal partner for a patio creation.<br />
<br />
Part of your thinking when considering a patio design maybe a more unique look than just a garden full of paving slabs. Why not consider a
water feature which are becoming more and more popular today.Water features add a focal point to any patio area and with endless designs available can offer something for everyone. <a href="http://www.waterfeatures2go.co.uk/">Waterfeatures2go</a> offer a range of bespoke water features creating a touch of drama to your patio area whilst at the same time the gentle background noise will soothe you. Simple to install water features into any new patio build, water features are almost all self contained meaning they require no separate water supply and recycle the water efficiently.<br />

If you are a keen music lover, consider installing external garden speakers. Garden speakers are great for use when relaxing with
friends or family and can save a lot of time and energy trying to pipe music externally into your garden area. With sound carrying in
a different way externally, speakers are required that can do the job whilst standing up to the weather conditions they may encounter.
