Landscaping Ideas for Your Garden

June 13th, 2011

During many stages in family life, the garden will be required for various things. When your children were toddlers, it’s likely that you wanted to provide an area where they could run around without the danger of them hurting themselves; this would have meant that there wouldn’t have been any water features, decking or raised flowerbeds. Instead it was likely it was just turf. As the children got older, you may have introduced various features, such as those mentioned above. If your children have now flown the nest, why not create the piece of paradise you’ve always wanted from your garden by taking advantage of the landscaping Windsor provided by us here at Kite Landscapes.

When it comes to creating the perfect garden for your needs and requirements, here at Kite Landscapes our team of experienced and professional landscapers don’t just believe that landscaping a garden is about adding a patio, or a few flowerbeds here and there. Instead we believe in working with your needs and requirements to create the perfect garden for you.

Our expert team will work with you to create not only a beautiful garden, but one which is unique to you; whilst ensuring that it still fits in with the surroundings. Below you’ll find some of the landscaping designs we can provide you with, depending on the size of your garden.

Whether it’s a narrow garden or a small square, our team have the experience to provide pathways, various flowerbeds, decking and water features, giving you the perfect place to relax during the summer evenings.

Get Your Garden Design Ready for Summer

May 19th, 2011

With late spring in the air and summer almost here, it’s understandable that the green fingered amongst you will be adding the finishing touches to your garden, to ensure it is in full bloom come those long warm summer evenings. However, for those who struggle to spot the difference between clematis and a buddleia, here at Kite Landscapes, we’ve provided this basic guide which covers all aspects of garden design Ascot and garden pruning, to ensure that come the summer holidays, you can rest and relax in a beautiful garden that’s in full bloom and watch nature flutter by.

Even with the smallest of budgets, it’s possible to add various dimensions and designs within your garden. All you need is to have the vision and inclination, and you can turn your garden into your own slice of paradise.

Add Shape:

A plain garden which consists mainly of lawn is great if you have young children who enjoy running around outside. However, why not add some shape into your garden by adding various features, such as a raised decking in the area that gets the most sun throughout the day; incorporate gravel paths with paving, or shape your garden around various flowerbeds.

Choose Plants Wisely:

The start of the year to early spring is the best time to sow your seeds and bulbs. However, you’re still able to plant various flowers this late into the season, and reap the rewards during the summer months. We recommend  planting varieties such as dahlias, chrysanthemums and many vegetable seeds including runner beans.

Prune and Support:

Whether your garden has rose bushes, conifers or other bushes and trees which like to spread out, now is the perfect time to prune and trim these back. Not only will it help to add shape and neat edges to your garden, but it’ll also provide you with more light and also allow flowers nearby to bloom as they benefit from more natural light.

For various plants such as the tall perennials, it’s important to place a supporting frame – such as a bamboo stick, near them; giving them the perfect opportunity to climb and grow during the summer. If you require any assistance with your garden design Ascot or would prefer to leave it to the professionals, then please contact us here at Kite Landscapes.

Reuse, Recycle, Redesign Your Garden in Windsor

February 14th, 2011

With spring not far away, now is the ideal time if you haven’t already, to dig out your forks, spades and secateurs, dust them down and get out into the garden to prune back any bushes or shrubs which have become a bit overgrown during the winter, giving your flowerbeds the perfect opportunity to blossom. For those who aren’t fond of getting their hands in the soil and digging around, here at Kite Landscapes we can provide garden maintenance services and garden design Windsor so come the start of spring your garden looks spectacular.

The garden design Windsor that we here at Kite Landscapes provide isn’t just about coming into your garden, digging up all your current plants and shrubs and replacing them with new flowers or water features. Instead, our team listen to what you want from a garden, and then achieve this by reusing and recycling the current crop of plants and garden furniture that resides there.

An old timber shed that’s no longer used can be carefully taken apart and reused as a beautiful decking area for you to enjoy those warm summer evenings under the canvas of the night sky; or even to create a raised flowerbed/compost bin.

If you’ve previously had a rockery in your garden and no longer find it aesthetically pleasing, we can carefully dismantle it to not only free up space, but to use the rocks to create an intricate pathway through your garden, or to create a beautiful water feature which oozes elegance.

The garden design Windsor options available to you, through reusing, recycling and redesigning your garden are endless. Here at Kite Landscapes, through our experience in the gardening industry and your creative ideas, we will be able to achieve the perfect garden for your surroundings, which we promise will continue to amaze and excite throughout all seasons.

Planning a Winter Garden Design in Ascot

January 17th, 2011

It goes without saying that the look of any garden design Ascot, or elsewhere for that matter, will change depending upon the seasons. Even those gardens which rely on decking, furnishings or other man made features, are usually finished with plants and shrubs that may lose their character as soon as the cold sets in. For this reason, here at Kite Landscapes we can design gardens which not only survive the winter, but actually thrive at this beautiful time of year. It’s all about knowing what winter means for the garden, and selecting the right shrubbery and features accordingly.

Man Made Features

Now that Christmas has been and gone, and you have a little spending money to dispense, why not consider adding some enhancements to your garden. We may well still have snow on the way, and additions such as trellis, benches and arbours can maintain the three dimensionality of any garden, even after the thickest blanketing.

Here at Kite Landscapes we’re practiced in the art of adapting our designs to the season, so don’t be put off if you’re thinking of having work done – we can still create something stunning. We’ll advise as to the best additions to select and can also provide those water features which offer the best all round functionality.

Foliage

If chosen carefully, the foliage in your garden can defy the cold and present a delicate vision of colour, right through until the spring bloom. The Winterberry Holly bush for example, which is native to the central and northern American continent, is an intriguing specimen which adds a splash of vibrant crimson to any design.

Although it does drop its leaves, this only serves to accentuate the bright berries, which continue to cling on throughout winter. Combined with regular evergreens such as certain conifers and pines, this can create a stunning winter garden design Ascot. For more information and examples of our work please get in touch online.

Landscaping Ideas Ascot

December 13th, 2010

Typically autumn is one of the best times to plan your landscaping for the following year, but if you haven’t already planned your garden or planted the bulbs ready for the spring and summer, all is not lost.  This is because some keen gardeners believe that April and May is an ideal time to start any landscaping work, as it gives your garden time to grow and acclimatise before blooming into a masterpiece. Here at Kite Landscapes, whether it is autumn, winter, spring or summer we’re on hand to provide landscaping Ascot.

Along with being a haven for wildlife – from the winter robin through to the summer butterflies – here at Kite Landscapes we also believe that your garden can become your own little slice of paradise, where you can relax, unwind and enjoy the sensual delights a beautifully created garden can bring.

We believe that landscaping Ascot can be as simple or intricate as your imagination allows. It doesn’t matter whether you have grand designs of a delicate path leading to a miniature waterfall cascading down a rock-pool, or whether you have something more minimalist and unobtrusive for your garden. We will work with what you want, your likes and dislikes including the flowers, plants, shrubbery, water features, and the turf versus patio/decking ratio.

Whatever you want in and from your garden, our team of experienced and dedicated landscapers will work with you, offering you advice and suggestions to make sure that we are able to create the perfect outdoor environment.

There really is no reason why, with the help of our landscaping Ascot know-how, skills and commitment, you cannot transform even the smallest of gardens into a tranquil wonderland. At Kite Landscapes, we work around you, your ideas, your budget and your surroundings to fashion a garden which will be truly timeless.

Low Maintenance Garden Design Windsor

November 15th, 2010

In the summer sun, nothing quite beats the smell of your favourite flowers or the colour that spreads through your garden. There’s something magical about morning dew glistening on a cherry tree whilst a Robin hops around for the last of the berries. Unfortunately garden maintenance can require a lot of hard work, care and attention all year round and this is something that not all of us  have. Fortunately, here at Kite Landscapes, we’re able to provide you a low maintenance garden design Windsor, so you can have those sights and smells all year, but with limited work required.

Here at Kite Landscapes we understand that not everyone is a budding Beth Chatto, Geoff Hamilton or Percy Thrower. But we also know how important it is to have a garden that you can be proud off, somewhere which can be seen as an extension of your personality and reflects your character. This is why we’ve been providing a garden design Windsor service for a number of years, supplying our customers with the garden they’ve always wanted.

So we can make sure the garden you receive is the garden you’ve seen in your dreams, we will meet with you to discuss what you want. It doesn’t matter whether you want a pebble path running through your garden, a small pond in the middle of decking or a flower bed bursting with colour from sweet peas, geraniums and petunias, all you need to do is tell us and we’ll get our team working to create it.

Unfortunately at Kite Landscapes can’t promise the sun will always shine on your little Garden of Eden once it’s been completed, or that a rainbow will arc across your conifers every spring morning. What we can promise is that when you trust us to provide you with a low maintenance garden design Windsor, we’ll design something unique and specially based on your wants and desires.

Landscaping Ideas Windsor

September 24th, 2010

The first thing to understand about landscaping Windsor and the surrounding areas is that it’s about more than simply reshaping a garden. While huge changes are not always necessary, every successful redesign has one thing in common; the space in question has been transformed. Here at Kite Landscapes we aim to change gardens from unsightly, unused and undervalued areas of the home into fresh and beautiful spaces in which entire families will enjoy spending time. Following a free on site consultation, we task our creative designers with the job of constructing inspired design ideas which suit each and every household.

So what ideas can we provide? In essence we aim to achieve anything that our clients desire, but different customers require differing levels of involvement in their design. We allow them to be as involved in their design as they want whilst remaining acutely aware that the onus is on us to use our industry experience, resourcefulness and originality to provide plans and ideas which match the client and their property.

The ideas that we provide will depend solely on the customer in question. We gather information regarding which plants you prefer to see, touch and smell, in addition to the garden’s intended usage and family considerations such as the presence of young children.

Kite Landscapes designs can incorporate a range of stunning features, including relocated turf, walls, water features, lighting, irrigation, patios, block paving, pergolas and gazebos. These elements are drawn upon where necessary in order to create a blend of beauty and practicality.

Successful landscaping Windsor should leave you with a garden which is a pleasure to be in, rather than a chore on your to do list. For information regarding a redesign or ideas as to what can be done with your garden, get in touch with the Kite Landscapes team this summer.
