It is one thing to have an idea, but turning that idea to reality involves a set of skills  not everyone has, and to be honest, many folk don’t want to have.

Landscaping is a broad field and involves skills such as architects, surveying, carpentry, horticulture, plumbing, electrical, and plant operation, concreting, rock wall building and fishponds.

Materials account for much of the cost a landscape project. However, using recycled materials such as recycled timber, can make a project more cost effective. if these are not available try to use plantation timber.

Generally the best-recycled hardwoods are old railway sleepers, or timber from demolished older buildings.

Crushed rock or concrete, should be readily available from your local nursery along with plants, soils and mulches and other requirements you may have.

Treated plantation softwoods are OK to use, but if you are buying new all the time costs can get out of hand.

Any new structures in your project, pergols, etc; should be built using new materials.

Also try to reuse material from any excavation, for use in garden beds or to build up low areas so water is allowed to drain away, But not towards your home.

Not everyone wants to go to that level of work and expense though.

A single retired person or couple might be happy with a few strategically placed large outdoor potted plants.

Young couples who rent will often search for indoor potted plants, flowers.  Usually low maintenance potted plants, this will create a pleasant visual effect on their environment, and if they forget to water the plant for a few days, the plant will likely survive.  

Drainage

The use of “Ag Drains” is a popular way to remove excess water from an area, depending on the size of the project a catchment and PVC pipe may have to be used to remove water, either to a pond, or the kerb.

Any excavated rock is always good for perimeter walls around gardens or feature pieces.

Excessive amounts of paving should be avoided as they contribute to micro climate heating and reduced site permeability. There is an old saying. “Pave only where you walk, sit or stand”.

Designing your project to include areas for children need not be hard. As they grow, the things they use become redundant,  in many cases they become features.

Plants for Apartments

If you live in an apartment you have great opportunities for outdoor expression. This is one area that shows the importance of plants relative to humans. 

  • Terrariums,  always popular.
  • Indoor Hanging Plants
  • Balcony boxes with flowers or vegetables
  • Succulents
  • A huge list  Here

Still there are costs involved, lighting, pots, soil mixture, and fertilizers all have to taken into consideration.

Once done, there is only regular watering (misting) and you are done.

The benefits of indoor plants has been shown to have:-

positive psychological effects and as well as help with indoor air purification, since some species, and the soil-dwelling microbes associated with them, reduce indoor  air pollution   by absorbing  volatile organic compounds  including  benzene, formaldehyde, and  trichloroethylene. While generally toxic to humans, such pollutants are absorbed by the plant and its soil-dwelling microbes without harm” from wikipedia.
