What’s the cost in Landscaping?
Well for a generic landscape gardening job, it can be proven difficult, as our gardens are as individual as we are. A large-scale refurbishment in a big garden, which involves planning, adding patio or decking, laying new turf, constructing paths and borders and so on, will run to several thousand pounds,
Although, accounting for things like planting and garden furniture. However, it is possible to break down smaller elements of landscape gardening and give a rough price for how much they will cost.
However, if you’re wanting a new patio, they generally cost depending on the per square size of the garden and they type of material used to design the patio. RG Driveways will estimate the patio at around £80 per square metre which also includes digging and levelling the area first.
How About Decking?
Decking gives the same use as a patio or paved area, but using wood provides what many homeowners feel for a softer, more natural touch for their garden.
As well as patios, decking will also be priced per metre, with cheaper costs for some woods, such as pine, where you can expect to pay around £70 per square metre, and more for more durable and long-lasting hardwoods, which can cost £200 per square metre or more.
Green Green Grass
Homeowners know that their garden wouldn’t be complete with a traditional lawn, but the cost can put people off. However, laying down turf could be the cheaper alternative than a patio or decking, usually coming in at around
£10 to £20 per square metre.
But, if you don’t want the trouble of mowing the lawn every other week, artificial grass is becoming increasingly popular across the housing markets across the Birmingham region. You will still need to maintain it ever so often, making sure the lawn keeps that freshness all year round.
