OBC Building: Things to consider when extending your outside garden space

At OBC Building were often involved in building and refurbishment projects, helping people to maximise their living space and increase the value of their homes. We often advise and assist homeowners with interior and exterior extension and refurbishment projects.

With todays demanding lifestyle, people have less time to potter around in their gardens. Gardens often require maintenance and for many people gardening is not an appealing or viable pass-time activity.

Deciding whether or not outside building extension is the best option

Building extensions or a non-organic foliage replacement such as gravel or a wooden deck might seem like an ideal alternative for someone whos rarely home and whod still like to have an attractive, useful outside space. But before getting rid of your garden, however poor the state of it might be, ask yourself what your options are and exercise some green-thinking.

A Greener Alternative:

The state of the environment has forced many Building and construction companies to think greener and implement environmentally friendly techniques where possible. At OBC Building weve changed the way we approach building projects. Our on-sight recycling policy helps us to save on building materials and to decrease our carbon footprint.

Many Homeowners are aware of the environment and would like to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle but dont know how. In todays economy and fast-paced society, not many people have the time to maintain a garden. As your local UK Building and Construction Company wed like to suggest an environmentally friendly alternative for your exterior space.

Every homeowners small garden space can make a difference to the environment and collectively UK gardens do aid the environment. Before replacing your greenery with non-natural features and surface replacement, ask yourself what other alternatives are out there. Find out from you nearest nursery which plants require little maintenance and are best suited to your environment and climate. This could save you money and oxygen in the long run.

UK Ground Covering: A cost-effective exterior refurbishment alternative

Using natural Ground Covering is an effective way to turn your outside space into a low-maintenance, environmentally friendly, visually pleasant space. There are a variety of indigenousness plants and shrubs that require little water and maintenance and make for a beautiful outside feature. Visit your nearest nursery to find out which plants are best suited for your garden. Youll also find that creepers are a cost effective replacement should you want to cover-up unwanted exterior wall space.

Here are some of the benefits of natural ground covering:

Weed Suppression

Little Watering

Reduced Evaporation

Low maintenance

Some are evergreen

Naturally drought resistant

Picking Your Plants

Many of the low growing shrubs are good-looking plants themselves and those chosen for their evergreen or variegated foliage. Whether used to blanket a little-used corner, or to set off the rest of the plot, ground cover plants offer a very attractive solution to low maintenance gardening. Ask your local building company for advice on eco-friendly living and building.
