Custom-Built Raised Garden Beds: Why Choose Greener Landscaping?
Raised garden beds have become a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers because they offer numerous benefits such as improved soil quality, better drainage, and easier access for planting and maintenance. At Greener Landscaping, we specialize in creating custom-built raised garden beds that perfectly match your needs and preferences.
Why Choose Raised Bed Gardens?
There are so many benefits of a raised garden bed, but in a nutshell, we’ve curated 10 of the big ones.
10 Reasons Why Raised Garden Beds are a Great Choice for Your Garden on the Sunshine Coast:
Aesthetics
Defined raised planter boxes look great. They define the space and give character to your garden. It’s so easy to mow your lawn and keep the edges crisp and clean.
Vegetable gardens, flower gardens… anything
Plant anything in them. Veggie gardens or kitchen garden. Flower gardens. Herbs. Native plants. Trees. Shrubs. Anything. Just have it designed to suit its purpose.
Superior soil, compost
Load it with the good stuff. You may have difficulties with your soil. Many places on the Sunshine Coast have heavy clay soil that can be difficult for certain plants. In a garden box, you can use superior soil as your foundation. Raise beds allow for easy amendment changes. It’s easy to fix poor soil, add organic matter, native soil and compost.
Healthy harvests
Healthier, more bountiful harvests. You have little power houses of production that you can easily manage.
Increase productivity
Easy to control all the inputs from the ground up, easy to grow more.
Weed control
Easy to control weeds. The boxes themselves are weed barriers. And depending on the height of your boxes, perhaps you don’t have to bend over, or kneel. Which, with or without mobility issues, saves your back!
Great drainage
Drainage is very good, water doesn’t pool, and the system promotes good root development.
Pest control
Pest control is easier because of the confined space. It’s easier to net your area, or apply pest deterrants.
Extend growing season
You can grow for longer. In winter the soil can be warmer contained by the perimeter. And in summer the sides can also shade your produce, shielding it from the harsh sun. Crop rotation is easy too.
Easy irrigation
You’ll either find it easy to hand water or to install spray or drip irrigation systems. Easy to hang or attach accessories.
Why Choose Custom-Built Raised Beds Over Pre-Made?
In-Ground Gardens Tailored to Your Space
One of the biggest advantages of custom-built raised garden beds is their ability to fit any space, no matter the size or shape. Whether you have a small backyard or a sprawling commercial property, we can design beds that make the most of your available space. Yes, you could buy raised bed kits but when custom-built they are more durable. A well-designed landscaped garden may even incorporate raised garden beds into a retaining wall, creating a seamless and cohesive look that enhances the overall aesthetic.
Material Quality
When you choose custom-built beds, you’re also choosing superior materials. Unlike pre-made options, our custom beds are crafted from high-quality materials that ensure durability and longevity. This means your garden beds will withstand the elements and continue to look great year after year.
Personalized Design
custom-built beds also give you the ability to personalize the design. We work closely with you to understand your vision and create a design that complements your existing garden style, or creates the overhaul that you dream of… whether you prefer a modern look or something more traditional, our team can bring your ideas to life.
Materials and Options
Wood: One of the most popular materials for raised garden beds is wood, and for good reason. We use cypress pine, which is naturally termite and rot-resistant, making it an excellent choice for garden beds. Wood is not only durable but also incredibly attractive and versatile, allowing for a range of design options that can suit any garden style.
Timber and Corrugated Iron: At Greener Landscaping, we offer customized beds that are either entirely timber or timber-framed with corrugated iron. This combination provides both strength and style. Our clients can choose from the range of Colorbond colors and profiles, ensuring that their garden beds match their personal taste and the overall design of their outdoor space.
