    Common Garden Landscaping Services

    With the help of guides, ideas, inspiration and recommendation, the average gardener or landscaper can make his own landscaped garden with little help or none at all.

    However, when the owner of the property wants to have automated sprinkler systems or if he wants to have a truly spectacular front yard, he needs to hire a professional to do the work for him.

    There are a lot of contractors, companies and professionals around who are experienced in landscaping and gardening. Most of them offer a variety of garden landscaping services.

    One of those services is consultancy. Often, property owners do not know exactly how they want their garden to look like. Sometimes, they do not even know what plants to grow! To solve these problems, he can hire garden consultants to advise him on what to do. Normally, the consultants arrange a visit to the property to observe. After a few days, they can visit the owner and submit to him some recommendations.

    Another garden landscaping service that is being offered is site clearance. This service is about removing unwanted weeds, shrubs, trees and other vegetation. However, it is not limited to soft landscape. Site clearance is also about getting rid of old fences, pathways, buildings and concrete. This is a labor intensive service.

    Aside from soft landscaping, landscaping companies also offer hard landscaping service. This service includes rockery works, pond excavation and construction, patio and terrace construction, pathway and driveway layout and fence layout. The service also aids in the construction of garden buildings such as pagodas, sheds and pump stations. Another aspect of hard landscaping service is setting up garden ornaments such as decorative benches, trellis sections and fences.

    Another garden landscaping service which requires a lot of expertise is water works. Here, the contractor helps the property owner to lay out pipes for irrigation and automatic sprinkling. This is quite a complex job since it involves digging around the garden and calculating the exact water pressure for the spray. Needless to say, this service is quite expensive.

    Garden landscaping service also includes plant care. The contractor regularly visits the property to take care of the plants. Maintenance of the plants usually involves trimming and pruning, weed and pest control and irrigation.

    As seen, there are a lot of garden landscaping services that a property owner can choose from. The only limits are his budget and his imagination.
