The development of green space can quickly turn into a disaster without knowledge or expertise. The professional in the development of green spaces is the landscaper; he conceives and realizes projects to develop a garden, a park, or any other space. What are then the works that a landscaper realizes to brighten up a green space?
What are the types of landscaping of green space?
There are two types of landscaping work: planting work and decorative construction. Nothing beats a colorful flowerbed to brighten up a green space all year long. On the other hand, it seems more difficult to enjoy a flowery garden when the temperatures during spring start to drop.
It is then possible to play with different varieties of plants in order to accumulate blooms from one season to another, thwarting the traditional winter break that tends to put a green space to sleep. With the advice of a competent and experienced landscaper, it is easier to have a flowery exterior all year round. The landscaper also assists in the planting of trees and flowering shrubs.
Decorative constructions on a green space
To brighten up green space, it is possible to consider building a swimming pool. The pool is always synonymous with pleasure and radiance in a small space or a large garden. It requires a well-thought-out layout to enjoy it fully. With the desire for a green space that is very pleasant to live in, the pool requires adequate materials with a natural aspect and an important resistance to climatic hazards in order to last in time.
What is the maintenance of green space?
In order to keep a green space always brightened up, it is imperative to carry out maintenance work such as
-
- Lawn mowing
-
- Maintenance of the paths
-
- The clearing of undergrowth
-
- Pruning
-
- Tree cutting
-
- Hedge and shrub trimming.
