With Proper Landscaping Design New Canaan Residents Can Enjoy Beautiful Gardens

By Eloise Hewitt


A well kept garden or park is one of the very best cures for stress and anxiety. With proper landscaping design New Canaan residents can enjoy the many benefits of a beautiful garden. Modern life is so fast and people seem to be rushing to and fro. Gardens and parks help people to slow down and to become calm. A few moments of contemplation in the midst of a busy day can work wonders.

Empirical studies have proven conclusively that gardens actually offer health benefits. Spending time in a garden helps people to relax and to unwind. This lowers their stress levels. Gardens also offer an excellent aerobic workout for those that actually enjoy working in the garden. Almost every action in the garden counts as part of a healthy cardiovascular exercise program. The joy of seeing plants grow and mature provides many psychological benefits.

Many people have a vague idea that the cost of hiring a landscaper must be exorbitant. Others feel that their gardens are too small. None of the above is true. A landscaper can help anybody to make the most of the space that is available. A professional can also help to make sure that the garden will remain attractive throughout all the seasons.

There are many benefits to be had from using a professional landscaper. Not only can they help to make the best use of the available space, but they can also provide valuable advice on making sure that the garden will satisfy the needs of the client. Some people want to entertain out of doors, for example, while others want complete privacy. A landscaper can also advise on matters such as garden furniture and other features.

No garden should be started without first developing a long term plan for the entire space. It may not be practical to establish the entire garden in a single project but without a master plan the final result may not be cohesive. A long term plan will eventually result in a garden where every plant or feature compliments each other.

Care should be taken to hire a landscaper that is both qualified and experienced. A professional landscaper is not just a keen gardener. They are specially trained and they should be able to provide valid references. It is also generally better to hire a local person or firm. This is because they are better informed about the local climate and soil conditions. Local firms can also provide long term services.

Owners should seriously consider insisting upon the use of indigenous plants only. Indigenous plants occur naturally in the area where the garden is to be established. They are therefore used to the climate and soil conditions. This will also help the garden to become established quickly. Indigenous plants require very little maintenance and they use less water. Of course, indigenous gardens are environmentally friendly.

Much has been said and written about the many benefits offered by gardens. They offer an escape from a hectic life. They offer peace and a space where one can think clearly. On a practical note, gardens add value to any property. Establishing a garden is not just fun and exciting but it is also a real contribution towards being friendly to the environment.
