Have you ever seen garden walling and thought it enhanced the look of the garden? Have you ever wondered why a person would take the time to construct a wall around their garden? This article will take a brief look at some of the most common reasons people put walls around their gardens and what they use to construct them.
Some people use garden walls simply to dress up the look of their gardens. When the walling is used for cosmetic purposes, different types of oriental grasses are very common materials used to construct it. When the gardening season is over, and the garden dies out for the year, the walling is easy to remove. By clipping the grasses flush with the ground, the task will be complete. In addition, ornamental grasses, or your garden wall, will grow back the next season without having to be replanted.
Hedges are another good choice when it comes to constructing a wall around your garden. Many different kind of bushes can be used such as Rose of Sharon. Not only do these bushes grow rapidly, they bloom pink, white, or purple flowers while they are in season. Once all the flowers have bloomed and fell off, it is safe to trim back the hedge row, to keep your garden looking neat.
Gardeners also like to use holly bushes to form hedge rows for garden walling. Holly bushes tend to grow fast like the Rose of Sharon, only they do not bloom the pretty flowers. Instead, they remain green, and keep their leaves all year round. Certain times of the year Holly bushes have red berries that match well with their dark green leaves.
Ornamental grasses and hedge rows not only add to the beauty of a garden, they also act as good barriers. Sometimes the wind can damage fragile plants, causing gardeners to look for a solution. In locations where high winds are the norm, garden walling is almost necessary to protect any garden.
Bushes and ornamental grasses make great live walls for any type of garden. However, they are not always a gardeners best option. While they can be great wind barriers, they do not prevent water retention or keep deter animals from entry. Live garden walls are not the solution to these type of problems.
In order for garden walling to be effective in keeping animals out of the garden, it must be constructed with solid material. This material can include: fencing (steel or wooden), garden bricks, and wooden rail road ties.
In come cases, fencing will not work to keep animals out of your garden. Some animals will dig under the fencing, and some will climb over the fencing. The type of material you should use for your garden walling should depend on what type of animal you are trying to keep out. - 33393
