What materials will you need if you are landscaping your garden? Of course, the answer will depend on what vision you have for your property, but there are some essentials that you must include on any list. Most properties will feature a lawn of some size. You might want a lawn that covers 90% of your available space, or you might favour something smaller to allow more space for flower beds, a patio or other garden features. Along with the turf for your lawn, it makes sense to arrange for sand delivery. Sand may not be an obvious garden material, but it can serve many purposes both visible and invisible in a residential garden.
How could you use sand on your property?
You might think that a sand delivery is only necessary if you are having building work carried out, but sand can be used in the garden as well as the house.
Safer play
One feature that you could easily include in your plans is a play area for your children. Children love to play with sand, and by including a permanent sandpit or sandbox in your garden, you can provide them with hours of happiness. Of course, sand is soft to the touch, and you can use it throughout the play area, not just in the sandpit. Putting a quantity of sand under swings or at the end of a slide can ensure that your children are safe, even when their games don't turn out as expected.
A stable path
Whether your garden is a riot of colour and floral scents throughout the year, or a convenient place to meet your friends and family, you will want to access the garden without traipsing mud through the house on the way back. The easiest way to protect floors and carpets from mud is to install a path or more simply pavers. Laying pavers is easy, but if you put them on the bare ground, they can often move and make the path unstable. An easy solution is to lay the pavers on a bed of sand and to use sand to fill any gaps between the pavers. In this way, you can create a stable, level path from one end of your garden to the other end.
