Hi folks,
there are lots of advantages of having a nice garden for your home. The physical activity required to maintain a garden is good for your body and for your health. Spending time in the garden is a great way to reduce stress and anxiety so it is good for the mind as well. Encouraging kids to spend time outdoors in the garden is good for their health as well and will lead to better sleep and better performance in school. Growing vegetables in the garden will result in you and your family eating healthier food. You can create family time together with your kids by planning, sowing, and tending to the family garden resulting in physical activity with a purpose shared by everyone.
On the other hand you can get someone else to do it for you and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labour:-) A while ago we carried out a survey with some Garden contractors on Tradesmen.ie. We asked them how much it would cost ex vat to design and implement a low maintenance garden for an average home. We also asked had they any tips for the customer on having a good experience with the tradesman. Here is a selection of replies that we received below:-
