Spring landscaping essentials

Spring is the perfect time to unleash your inner green-thumb by embarking on a garden landscaping project.

Why not try your luck with your own vegetable patch, or carry out something more ambitious like a DIY courtyard challenge?

Whatever your landscaping job is, there are a number of important considerations to keep in mind when improving the exterior of your property.

If you need to move large amounts of dirt and excavate any areas, you will require specialised equipment to assist you with the job.

Head down to your local Kennards Hire for all your earthmoving needs - whether you need a dumper, digger or bobcat, it makes more sense to hire these rather than buy expensive equipment outright.

If you are laying down new lawn you will want to consider whether you want to buy rolls of turf or start from scratch with grass seeds.

It is also important to take into consideration the type of soil that is in your backyard and its drainage. If you are creating a garden, you may need to buy additional soil or install a drainage system.

When constructing your own courtyard, you will also need to choose what kind of pavers you want for your outdoor area.
