Understanding landscaping

The outdoor spaces are a place that we always enjoy but aren’t always the best-placed people to bring out the most of it. It is a very important space however that need not be overlooked as it brings great value to a place and space. There are several ways in which landscaping need be applied and here are a few to help you understand landscaping better.

Commercial

Commercial landscaping contractors Sydney will typically be used to design spaces in the business and corporate world. For many, going to an office or commercial premises will be the first exposure, engagement, and interaction a customer has with a brand. It is important that it is a good experience and what is often overlooked is how well the outdoor spaces are put together. Using contractors to do this is the best way to go because they will have experience in knowing what designs are most appealing and can continue to maintain the space even after the landscaping work has been done.

Residential

If you are building a residential complex or even just building your own home, the residential landscaping will help create a space that feels homey and comfortable and one that you will enjoy spending time in. This is different from that of the commercial space as it is typically more relaxed, and the plants are easier to maintain because you would be less likely to want to spend house grooming the garden to keep it looking good. It must be like a good haircut, one that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance

Schools

The use of landscaping in schools would be similar to that of the commercial, in that it will be geared towards making parents feel like it is a school of quality and that the look represents the standard offered. School landscaping will also have to typically be something that can withstand a lot of traffic because outside of the reception area, which is generally a limited go-to place for the students, the rest of the school grounds will experience heavy traffic and footfalls and children can be a little careless, throwing balls and stumbling into flower beds.

Sport

The sports fields are also something that falls under landscaping and landscapers will be called in to see to the establishment and maintenance of sports fields. These sports fields typically include hockey, cricket, rugby. Tennis and netball sports fields require a clay under layer while the other sports would want something that has good drainage.

Synthetic surfaces

In some instances, it may be necessary to install synthetic grass where there is not enough sunlight, the cost and availability of water is difficult or there is just too much traffic to withstand grass growth. Some soils will be incredibly difficult to grow and keep grass and so it is better and easier just to install a synthetic turf that will last. Within this product range though there are several options to choose from. Sports use a short and hard turf while areas that need to look a little lusher and more natural might choose a long grass.
