Timber suppliers in the Brisbane area give helpful information as to how to best prepare for a major landscaping project.
Brisbane, QLD, 21 May 2014 - There are many house and lot owners who want to add some nice scenery, structuring or fencing to their homes. This makes sense as everyone wants to have a nice looking home and adding features that will make it more aesthetically pleasing is a good idea.

This being said, not everything that can be added to a yard or lawn should be and there are many factors to consider when deciding to start a new landscaping project or what to do with one. With many different kinds of materials and plant life to choose from, picking the best ones, such as how to pick the best kind of decking for example, for the average home can be a tricky question.

Luckily, there are regional experts who can shed light about this situation. Jack Kyle, Owner of Narangba Timbers, the leading supplier of timber flooring and other products to the Brisbane area, has insight to offer based on his experience in the business: “Timber has long since been a material of choice for many large landscaping projects, so we’ve learned a few things on the subject over the years. There are a number of factors that go into a project like this, of any size.”

Kyle goes on to explain the different factors and what they mean for the average landscaping project:

“First off, when you plan for a landscaping project, you want to make sure that what you plan on building or adding mixes well with what you already have. Clashing timber fencing with different plants can cause strain to any lawn. You also want to make sure that whatever you plan on building makes sense with what you plan on accomplishing. If you want to make more shade, canopies and roofed decks are a good idea. For more colour, more exotic flowers are useful.”

While most of these factors are based in aesthetic value, Kyle feels that there are also a few factors that can have more serious consequences: “On the more practical side, what you add or change to the landscaping of your home also affects all those who live in it. It’s absolutely vital that you make sure anything you add or build won’t be a hazard for children and pets.”

Kyle believes that safety and security are key issues when it comes to landscaping because certain plants or structures can be dangerous for pets and small children. Depending on your location, weather should also be regarded: “Climate is also something to take into consideration, especially when building a new structure. You have to make sure that it can withstand a heavy storm and won’t be damaged by the excessive water it brings. Strong timber works great for this, as timber flooring is fairly resistant to damage from flooding.”

Knowing what kinds of materials are at your disposal is important for building to get the best out of structural and aesthetic considerations. Kyle concludes, “Counting the cost is vital as well. You need to look at the cost of materials, plants, tools and possibly labour. If you can’t swing it right away, save up for the renovations. And whatever you decide to build, we will be there to assist you with all of your landscaping projects and more.”
