Natural timber number 1 for landscaping
Landscaping is big business, as planners, designers and developers realise the benefits of improving the standards of open spaces around housing, retail and commercial areas, educational and health establishments. Homeowners too are spending more and more on their gardens, with many ready to call in professional landscapers.
This means products used in landscaping are every bit as much in demand as plants. And for sustainability, cost effectiveness and unrivalled ability to blend in with the landscape, timber comes out tops.
When it comes to planter boxes, raised beds, steps and separation features, many would argue that natural always looks better. And using timber from sustainably managed forests is good for the climate.
For landscaping uses, treated timber makes sense as it lasts so much longer. And even though it costs more than untreated timber, it is still less costly than concrete or brick.
