Beautiful gardens create appeal<br />
A beautifully landscaped lawn and<br />
garden create the finishing touches<br />
to the curb appeal of every home and<br />
property.<br />
Figuring out what landscape<br />
components you want in your outdoor<br />
area can be difficult, particularly<br />
when there are so many options but<br />
often a fresh eye can give you a new<br />
perspective.<br />
Engaging an expert like Sharon from<br />
Sharon Crofts Landscape Design can<br />
make a huge difference to the look of<br />
your outdoor area, resulting in a garden<br />
that exudes that professional touch.<br />
Sharon covers all aspects of landscape<br />
design from the initial site consultation<br />
to preparing design concepts and<br />
planting proposals, making it easy<br />
for the homeowners to implement<br />
themselves if that want to. If not Sharon<br />
Crofts Landscape Design has a team of<br />
experienced and professional contracts<br />
who will complete the work to exacting<br />
standards.<br />
They work throughout Canterbury<br />
including residential properties,<br />
rural and lifestyle blocks and new<br />
subdivisions, particularly in the <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
area.<br />
Sharon enjoys working collaboratively<br />
with her clients and transforming initial<br />
plans into reality within budget and on<br />
time. Her many years of experience also<br />
help when it comes to what planting<br />
works in the Canterbury climate and<br />
with local soils.<br />
With the advent of cooler weather<br />
it is a good time to up keep lawn<br />
maintenance such as topdressing and<br />
fertilising to boost new growth.<br />
If you are thinking of creating a new<br />
area within your garden new plants will<br />
make better progress now that the hot<br />
summer months are over and, if planted<br />
now, they will make some good growth<br />
during autumn.<br />
It is also a good time to think about<br />
plants that may not be in the right<br />
position. They could be wrenched in<br />
autumn (dug around) and uplifted<br />
during the winter months.<br />
“Of course not all plants are keen on<br />
this so it is best to get some professional<br />
advice on which plants may or may not<br />
easily shift,” says Sharon.<br />
