Planning Pays - Design your Garden Now, Enjoy it in the Spring!

Although you may feel Spring is a million miles away, if you want your dream garden to be completed in time for the beginning of next year’s improved weather, you need to start planning NOW!  All too often we only evaluate our gardens when the temperatures begin to soar and then suddenly the pressure is on to get the work completed at break neck speed.
 
The best approach to achieving your ideal garden is not to rush it.  Allocate time to thinking about the key criteria for your outside living area and plan well ahead.  Autumn is a great time to plan the  transformation of your house’s exterior living space for a whole host of reasons:
 

• Firstly, there are fewer restrictions on what work can be undertaken – for example, the ground is not so hard that it becomes difficult to try and break up – nor is it (traditionally at least!) so water logged it’s impossible to work with

• Most plants are dormant at this time of year so if the proposed garden make-over project involves a lot of cutting back of existing stock,  it is more likely that the trees / plants will be able to survive this intervention and any other disruption caused by machinery etc 

• Rather than having to plant out new trees and hedges from pots, in winter it is possible – and preferable – to use bare rooted stock.  In addition to establishing early successful growth your pocket will benefit too , as bare rooted stock is traditionally cheaper to buy than pot grown trees and hedges 

• Getting to grips with your garden now will save you having to join the queues next  year – and when those around you are struggling to find a landscaper with time to take on the job,  you can sit back and enjoy your stylish newly transformed outdoor space
