Beautify And Protect Your Home With Garden Walling: Expert Guidelines

By Patricia Connor

For what ever reason you have to wall in your garden, there are so many different choices made available to us today. Garden walling has become an art form and one can really become so creative in protecting or getting that extra bit of privacy which is much needed in today's built up areas.

Another adage is when those pesky burglars tend to make their rounds, they will be faced with your walls and this will make them think twice before they make the effort to enter onto your property. So when choosing your material, make sure it is sturdy, durable and thick enough. It should also blend in with your home and compliment your garden rather than blemish it.

These days using stone as garden walls are very striking indeed. You want to go for that rugged look so scavenged rocks are quite cheap. If this is the route you want to take and you want to build it yourself, then do remember to start by placing the biggest rocks first and as your wall gains height, you should use smaller rocks. Use a good filler cement to bind the rocks together. Rock walls will last a life time and can withstand any harsh weather to the extremes. Your wall will be maintenance free with not painting or sealing necessary for decades to come.

Second choice for garden walls would be brick. Having a wider range to choose from a brick wall can be really decorative if it is mixed with rod iron or wood. Should you want to brick your entire property, then there are plenty of good qualified bricklayers to choose from. Do also check if you need planning to be done before you build. Some counties are strict and you would have to hand in a professional drawn plan to your local authorities.

There is of course also the option to go for a good quality prefabricated concrete wall. Here you can really be creative as they are made in wonderful patterns and styles. Pricing is also good. What's really nice about it is that the erection will take place in a day or so. Which will leave you with extra private space in no time.

Maybe you fancy hedging your garden. This is so much better, but it will take lots of time and patience to grow your hedge. If you don't mind waiting on nature, then do choose this option. Get evergreen plants to you will be blessed with a green wall all year round.

Garden walling is a fantastic way to enhance one's garden and surroundings and an extra bonus is you increase the value of your property and the area as well.
