Wickes DIY: where your ideal garden is just a few steps away
We have a long history of garden landscaping in the UK. It started with Capability Brown and Gertrude Jekyll, and the urge is just as strong today. Even the smallest roof garden generally has a water feature of some kind, and everyone has a garden shed. Many of us have a greenhouse.
We at Wickes DIY have a range of garden landscaping products. Just like Capability Brown, we can help you sculpt and contour your garden to add depth and breadth, hide ugly areas and provide contrasting levels. From there, it’s a short step to stone walls, decking gazeboes, summer houses and pagoda lighting.
At Wickes DIY you will find everything you need for garden landscaping, from sheds and summerhouses, to fencing and building materials. We have fancy gazebos, round-the-tree seating, paving features and a wide range of lighting ideas. We even sell garden power tools – at far lower cost than you’d pay in a garden centre.
At this point, you’re probably thinking that you don’t have the space to make anything from and you don’t have that sort of cash. It’s true that some garden landscaping projects are very ambitious, costing thousands of pounds. Yet you don’t need bulldozers and a team of builders to make a difference – neither do you need a second mortgage. The garden landscaping solutions we provide at Wickes DIY are affordable and easily installed. Even the greenest newcomer to DIY can landscape their garden and achieve beautiful, instant results.
How do you use us at Wickes DIY to design your ideal garden? You need to start by knowing what your ideal garden is. Do you want an easily managed area, with plenty of decking and potted plants? Or do you prefer a wilder, more natural terrain? Perhaps you even hanker after the Capability Brown look yourself. Whatever it is, start with a plan – and stick to it. A themed look is far more effective than a mishmash of different ideas. That being said, there’s no reason why you can’t incorporate more than one theme if you have the space – just make sure they’re clearly defined.
If you want to add height to your garden, consider walled terraces, or artificial hillocks. A pond area adds interest too. Garden landscaping covers fencing and gateways, which is usually the best place to start. Finding a nice style of fencing, or an unusual garden gate can help set the scene for your entire garden.
Next, mark and lay out your pathway – it can be paved, gravelled or even raised on decking. Look at some online images, like our brochure, to get ideas. After this, think about your shed. Is it too small, in the wrong place, or a collapsing wreck? If so, move or replace it. Remember that a summerhouse can double for tool storage – and saves having two garden buildings.
Once you’ve done all this, you can start to think about decking, gazebos, sculpted beds, decorative walling, underfoot lighting and more. You’ll be amazed at how quickly the garden landscaping ideas start to flow, once you’ve had a look through our catalogue.
