Soil Vs Mulch Vs Rocks – How To Make The Right Choice For Your Landscaping

October 5, 2022

Many landscape designers will advise homeowners on the materials that they recommend for specific aspects of their landscape design. One of those concerns is what should be used in the various plant, flower, and vegetable beds and the walkways throughout the garden, with the choice normally narrowed down to one of three which are soil, mulch, and rocks.

Each has distinct characteristics and offers variable benefits, depending on its use, and whether they are used in the right ways and in the right locations within the garden. For those unsure what benefits and uses soil, mulch, and rocks have to offer within landscaped gardens, read on and you will discover them so that when it comes time to make your choices, you make the right ones.

The Case For And Against Soil

Arguably the simplest option, given that you are adding nothing to what your plants are already embedded in. Apart from simplicity, the other advantage of simply using soil as it is, is that there are no further materials to be purchased, and thus no further costs to be incurred, which might be important for those on an extremely tight budget.

The Easiest Choice in Purchasing Outdoor Furniture

July 23, 2017

When you book a holiday to Bali or any other country, the last thing that is likely to be on your mind is purchasing outdoor furniture. But once you arrive at your holiday destination and decide to check out all the shopping opportunities you may well change your mind. Bali and other parts of Indonesia have some beautiful, handcrafted alfresco furniture that you may well want to take home with you.

That’s where you can run into a lot of problems. It is not that easy to arrange for safe transport, given the furniture must go by sea and you will need to arrange for the many different legs of the journey. First it has to be taken to a local port, then packed into a container and loaded onto the right ship, then after it arrives in Australia you’ll need to organise a truck to bring it to your home. This seems to be a lot of hassle, especially when you are on holiday and want to enjoy yourself.

Security Fencing for Home

November 12, 2016

Would you put up a home security fencing as a safeguard or as a response? Some people do it as a result of something already happening. Others consider home security as a sort of pre-emptive action. It’s better to be prepared and have made all your plans and choices instead of after something has happened. By then you’re your valuables have been stolen. A bit late. A really simple way to secure your home is by installing a security fence.

Fencing Material

That fence can be made from either chain link, wood, bricks and mortar, limestone blocks or steel rods. It all depends on the look you are after. It also depends on your budget. You might have reasons to prefer chain link, or you might opt for the installation of a wooden fence. For real privacy and staying in fashion with ‘Games of Thrones’, dig a trench, construct a granite block wall, turrets and parapets and drop in a drawbridge. Kidding! Although in some neighborhoods even this level of security is merely a challenge.

Your Shopping Spree in Bali

September 7, 2016

When people go to Bali they want to do more than look at tourist spots or go surfing – at least, most of them do. What many people look forward to be going on a shopping spree. This is not necessarily always about clothing and accessories for themselves. Often they take a list of stuff to buy for their family and friends. And sometimes they admire the beautiful furniture and wish they could fit that in their travel bag. While this is not possible, it is possible to get Bali-type furniture such as outdoor wicker furniture from a furniture store that imports it.

So instead of wanting something that will take a great deal of effort and trouble to get back to Australia, let the store to all the work and all you’ll need to do is choose what you want and have it delivered. If you were to purchase it while in Bali, you’d have to take a day out of your holiday to arrange for transport. This will be 3 different legs of the journey, not just one.
