Landscape your garden

Landscaping your garden the stress free way

We have all been there where the garden is looking a little tatty and it’s time to do something about it. Landscaping doesn’t just make you garden look pretty and make the neighbours jealous. It comes with some great benefits for you and your home. It can be relaxing to do and doesn’t cost the world. After a stressful week in work you can open up your door and relax while sitting there in the summer breeze planting your pansies.

Designing your Garden

Not only that your garden can be your canvas for you to make your own creation. You can create it and people will see and appreciate your hard work weather it’s planting a few flowers, building a pond or even adding some decking. This will also make your house more appealing in the future should you decide to sell it. You can also grow your own food and flowers and make a compost bin for your organic waste. Perfect in this society where being green is everything. This will also attract wildlife to your garden making it a hive of activity.

There is no excuse to let your garden run down with the wide range of tools and equipment available to you, and most of it at affordable prices. So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and make your garden come alive!

Piling Information in the UK

Piling or mini piling or underpinning is a way in which building foundations can be laid down and each style of building foundation has their own specific strengths and weaknesses. For example underpinning is the cheapest, mini piling allows you to work in tight areas and piling is the most expensive but we will go into more details on this below:
   

Piling

  
Piling is the general process in which building foundations are laid. They provide stability and security to the building and is the glue that holds it together. Piling can also be rather expensive but relatively speaking not so. What I mean by this is that piling costs a fair amount but without it a house cannot be constructed which is a lot more expensive than piling!
 

Mini Piling


Mini Piling is basically piling except, you know, mini. It is most commonly used when it comes to conservatories, extensions and orangeries. This is because these are small (again relatively speaking) and more maneuverability is required. This is why mini piling is preferred in these situations.

Underpinning


Underpinning is basically piling except with a different material. This means the tubes and work is not made out of metal allowing it to be a lot cheaper. This is perfect for small extensions, conservatories or orangeries because their small weight (again again relatively speaking) can be supported by the underpinning.
