Brick BBQ's

Brick Barbecues Shifnal Shropshire

When the hot summer days at last arrive in Shifnal a lot of us get enthusiastic about spending a little time in the garden, and maybe having some friends or family around for a barbie. Needless to say, if it is the first time you've used your barbecue since last year, you may discover that it's battered, rusty and completely useless for cooking food on. Maybe the time has arrived to bring in a bricklayer to build a lovely solid new barbecue, so that you can get the burgers and drumsticks on anytime you feel the need. There is a considerable price to pay for such convenience though, as the bricks and materials on their own could run you to two or three hundred quid, and stitch this to the labour and it will be a considerable financial investment. Of course the reward is that your barbie will always be stood there whenever you need it, the climate will have hardly any adverse effects on it, and your solid brickwork construction will look terrific and give reliable service for many years.

Trellis Fence

Trellis Fence Shifnal (01952)

Adding privacy to your garden whilst still permitting a fair degree of light to filter through is challenging, but it is perfectly feasible by installing a trellis fence. This means they're an ideal alternative for boundaries between neighbouring houses, or when you would like to screen a pathway or road, without creating a solid walled area.

With a wide range of panel sizes and shapes, trellis fencing can be used singly in any part of the garden, or even interconnected as an entire boundary fence to shield your garden from onlookers and neighbours. They can also be used to add height to a solid fence and allow plants to be entwined and grow through the holes in the trellis structure. This is generally called a fence top trellis.

For added privacy it's also to have smaller holes in your trellis fencing which can be used effectively to screen areas for dustbins or other unattractive features. Smaller hole trellis fences are also perfect for stopping unwanted interest from passers-by when you want to chill out in your backyard.

Lawn Mowing Shifnal

Lawn Mowing Shifnal Shropshire

Having a stunning lawn can be as simple as getting on the phone or sending an email to your local Shifnal lawn care specialist. The most basic lawn care task is keeping it mowed and to a perfect length, dependent on the kind of grass, the season, and precisely how it is being used. A lawn that's used as a play area for the kids might need a hard-wearing, longer grass than that of a manicured, formal lawn.

A regular grass cutting schedule by a professional will ensure that irrespective of what your lawn is used for; sides, back or front, it will have a healthy look whatever the weather. Lawn care is not just about cutting your grass, it should also involve fertilizing the soil and roots, together with weed/moss control and watering. After the lawn has been cut, all clippings will be gathered and disposed of at an official green waste tip, or added to your own compost bin if you've got such a thing.
