Garden Transformation in Ponteland — Before and After
Garden upgrades are something that property owners are investing in more and more across the areas of Portland and neighbouring Northumberland villages. People think of outdoor spaces more as an extension of their house rather than just a simple patio area or lawn. In different areas, we are seeing different trends, ranging from big gardens, perfect for the family, in Darras Hall, to outdoor spaces that are very contemporary, around Medburn and Stamfordham, and hard landscaping areas in the Ponteland area that are more directed towards stylish, low-maintenance, practical gardens that can be enjoyed throughout both the summer and winter months.
UK property improvement statistics have said that garden renovations are becoming increasingly popular as a way to increase the overall value of a property and this sector has grown significantly since the year 2020.
Why Are Garden Transformations on the Rise in Ponteland
In this area, properties are considered to be 'premium' with larger plots, especially in the area of Darras Hall which interestingly has some of the most expensive homes in the whole North East. As the gardens are typically on the large side, investing in improving this
outdoor space makes homes more desirable and more aesthetically appealing, as well as more practical to use. We have reports from companies in the landscaping sector in Newcastle and Northumberland that people are investing in patios using porcelain, outdoor kitchens, decked areas, entertaining areas, contemporary planting ideas, or lighting and low maintenance designs. Figures within the industry have shown that a property may be increased in value by doing such upgrades by up to 15% in certain locations. Overall, outdoor spaces have become more important to buyers and the presentation of the garden should not be overlooked!
What to Expect in a “Before” Garden
There are common problems that contractors often come across in Ponteland before undertaking a transformation project. These include, bad drainage, old paving, no seating area, unorganised planting, no privacy, and high maintenance. Because the area receives on average approximately 700–900mm of annual rainfall, homeowners can expect a great deal of extended wet weather which leads to water-logged lawns, rotten decking and uneven patios. The fashion has changed in recent years and it is clear that in older properties, outdoor spaces were not considered a priority. It is definitely now thought of as a great investment.
What To Expect in a Modern Garden Transformation
Creating a space that can be used throughout the year is an important design element and a good way to get your money's worth. Lifestyle is just as important as aesthetics. Outdoor seating areas with kitchens are a lovely way to enjoy socialising in your garden. Porcelain patios are also very popular as they are much cheaper than natural stone but they still provide a low maintenance and modern appearance that is resistant to weeds and anti-slip makes them very practical with the wetter weather.
Replacing grass with artificial equivalents means homeowners greatly reduce the amount of upkeep while still being able to enjoy the use of their garden throughout the seasons.
Lighting is also key to any outdoor area and makes a huge difference in transforming a space. It helps to create ambiance and allow you to use the space in the evenings.
When designing your garden, through using trees, shrubs, grasses and plants that are structured schemes you will have an area that is attractive throughout the year and is constantly changing.
Conclusion
There are many ways to improve an outdoor space, whether it be installing a patio, redesigning the planting areas or adding an outdoor kitchen with lighting. Homeowners are increasingly investing in this sector as it's a fantastic way to improve the value of a property and make the space more useable overall. By doing a garden transformation, the appearance and functionality of a property can be totally changed and improved for all-year round usage that is much more efficient and functional.
