Plan something different in your garden for spring

As far as I’m concerned it’s never too early in
the year to start getting inspired about spring
coming and the warmer weather and lighter days
being on the way (we can hope can’t we!)
If you hurry there is still a little time left to enter
the competition.
Anywhere really that could use a wooden garden
wall, and it has many benefits compared to
traditional brick walling; it is cheaper compared
with bricks and mortar, doesn't need foundations
or footings and can be installed in any weather
(within reason, obviously).
I’ve already got my gardening head well and truly
fixed on because we are in the planning stages
for this year’s Jacksons Show Gardens Design
Competition. If you are a regular reader you may
have spotted me talking about this annual
competition around about this time last year. At
the moment some of my time is spent looking
at the seven show gardens we have here at Head
Office in Kent and deciding which ones are to
be redeveloped this year.
The chosen ones will end up being the
embodiment of the winning designer’s plans and
will be ‘brought to life’.
If by chance you are, or know of someone, that
is a garden designer, landscape architect, or
landscaping professional, details of this year’s
competition can be found on the local page at:
jacksons-fencing.co.uk/ashfordlocal
There’s also plenty to keep me busy out there
tidying up the gardens and planning the
refurbishment of the ones that aren’t for the fullblown redesign as well.
If you are planning to do something different with
your outside space this year, here’s a product
that is unique to Jacksons, that might inspire
you when you are considering options available
for retaining walls or raising beds.
Jakwall is a highly unusual grooved, brick wall
effect landscape timber system. Manufactured
from our Jakcured timber, which means it carries
the Jacksons 25 year guarantee. The timbers
are fixed together with a timber hex head screw
system without any need for pre-drilling, (a Hex
Head driver bit for use with the screws is also
available).
Jakwall is ideal for raised borders, fishponds,
play areas, sand pits and fascia borders.
You could use Jakwall in many ways in your
garden, for instance terracing a sloping area that
may enable you to use it in a more productive
way once it is level.
I’ve put a few photos here to illustrate its uses,
that may give you some ideas or inspiration.
If you don't fancy the grooved appearance that
makes it look a bit like a brick wall, then it is
available smooth and un-grooved.
All the details on the Jakwall options can be
found in a handy link on your local page, as
well as details of our special offers and the free
prize draw.
