Landscaping - why you should opt for the services of a professional

1. Drawings

If you want your garden or yard to look neat and attractive, youll first need a design and drawing. Dont try to be spontaneous, but hire an architect or, better yet, a landscape architect to make them for you. A drawing should show a clear layout of lawn turf, paths, decks, flower beds, large plants, so that together they produce a harmony and match the house.

2. Landscaping

It takes a lot of time and effort to get a perfect garden of your dreams. It also takes the right tools and equipment. Horticulture and landscaping professionals will examine the land, plant a garden, or work on the existing one. They can also deal with mowing, watering, pruning, hoeing, fertilizing, disposal of garden waste, etc.

3. Sowing grass

If you want healthy and dense English ryegrass, you should start working towards this goal from the very beginning, i.e. sowing. Sow your grass, with ideal temperature and humidity levels. Sowing shouldnt be later than May to give young grass a chance to survive the sunny seasons. Grass can be sown in the dry season, too, but theres risk of drought and weeds. Before sowing, break up soil and level it out. Youll need around a kilo of seeds for 40 sqm. Seeds should be spread around as evenly as possible. Then, grab a rake to make shallow furrows and apply plenty of water. Water the soil regularly to keep it loose until the grass starts sprouting.

4. Laying lawn turf

You dont have to wait years to get a perfect lawn. Youll get an authentic English-style lawn by laying lawn turf, which includes grass grown in a nursery, and is sold in rolls. However, its not as easy as it may look, so we recommend you have this done by a professional. Theyll know how to properly prepare the soil, hoe it, and ensure drainage. Roots and stones also need to be removed. You can sow grass and wait for your lawn to form, but its faster to use lawn turf. Such a lawn is more easily maintained and is more resilient.

5. Pruning and felling

Although tree pruning seems to be a piece of cake at first, dont be fooled - its a job that requires skill and expertise. Its not something that can be done anytime, anywhere. Certain parts must be left untouched to get a healthy tree, with lush and beautiful foliage. Felling is a hazardous task that should also be done by a professional.

6. Paving

Landscaping also includes making paths and pavements. The piece of land intended for a path should be prepared and marked. Theres a variety of slabs or concrete that can be laid over this surface. The prep work depends on whether the future path is intended for foot or vehicle traffic. Either way, we again recommend you hire a professional, as this work also includes installation of a watering system, water features, stone items, outdoor furniture, etc.
