Hello World! Welcome Friends! Did you know that the number of landscape gardeners has increased by 15,000 since 2021? Recent data by Statista shows that during the third quarter of 2023, 165,000 people were employed or self-employed as professional landscape gardeners.
Recent research by Natural Stone Consulting shows how more and more people are interested in the idea of having a professional take care of the design and implementation of their perfect garden, rather than doing it themselves. Many people treat their gardens as an extension of their house, with patios and terraces becoming another room of the house to decorate.
What Does a Landscape Gardener Do?
A landscape gardener is an individual that can design and implement a new garden scheme, including producing plans, site clearance, ordering of materials, hard landscaping and finally planting. They will work closely with you as the homeowner, taking into account your needs and desires, as well as the topography of your site to design the garden layout that maximizes your enjoyment and use of your outside space.
Once they have completed the design phase, and removed the components of an old garden, they go on to implement your new garden with the outdoor building work, considering its driveways, patios, and walls. Lucky enough to have a swimming pool? Choosing the right natural material for color and size along with selecting quality pool copings, paving and steps will ensure the space remains a timeless welcoming space for years to come.
Having a new garden designed and installed correctly can reduce the stress and worry of making the wrong choice and reduce the chance of injury from lifting heaving materials or digging using manual or incorrect tools. Importantly, it can also reduce the overall cost in the long run, thanks to proper design and installation, as well as the choice of site-appropriate, quality materials. It can seem expensive in the short term, however avoiding costly mistakes and ending-up with a space you are really pleased with means the investment really pays off.
Landscape Gardeners Have Career Development
As well as the love for the outdoors, the opportunities for career development makes becoming a landscape gardener a desirable career choice. The job title can range from an apprentice all the way to a business owner, and is reflected in the salary. The take home pay for an apprentice comes in at £9,139, and £47,853 for a business owner. This is a difference of £38,714, which is a significant amount.
Natural Stone for Your Outdoor Garden
With natural stone bringing a durable and timeless option to a space, this makes it a great choice for completing your outdoor garden. There are a variety of options based on the look and feel you are after. Bourton Buff is a good choice for outdoor paving, thanks to its beautiful limestone appeal and neutral tones. This can compliment other materials such as wood, brick and metal, which are often found in outdoor gardens. Marble floor tiles are another suitable choice for exterior walls and flooring.
