A new home is so much more than just a new place to live.
Whether you are building from scratch or moving into a fixer-upper, a new home is a chance to build a dream space for you and your family.
And that dream space is so much more than what is contained within the four walls.
It also includes the spaces you have outside!
Whether you have a lot or a little space to work with, what you do with the areas of your property that you can landscape and enjoy outside of the home can make a big difference to your enjoyment and the value of your home.
Properly utilised outdoor spaces are great because they:
- increase the living area of your home that you and your family can enjoy
- add value to your home
- make entertaining and cleaning up so much easier
The reality of most great outdoor landscaping ideas is that they require high-quality timber products.
Thankfully for you, wherever your creativity takes you, Australian Treated Pine has you covered.
But before we get to some ideas for your landscape, lets look at some of the different timber products you might need.
Rougher Header Timber
Rougher Header Timber belongs to a group of wood that includes three different types of finishes: Rougher Header, Wet Sawn, and Dried Dressed.
Wet Sawn Timber is wood that has been sawn and dried before being treated, but not since. This method produces the most rustic of all wood finishes, giving a more organic and rustic aesthetic which is becoming common in many urban cafes and shops.
The premium in wood finishes, Dried Dressed Timber is a timber that has been dressed on all sides, resulting in a flawless finish that is easy to cover. It’s good for decks, patio spaces, and pergolas because it can be machined to within millimetres of exact specifications.
Finally, Rougher Header is in the middle of Wet Sawn and Dried Dressed Timber. It’s more textured than Dried Dressed Timber, but finer than Wet Sawn Timber.
So, now that you know all your timber product needs are covered right here on our website, let’s take a look at some great ideas you should consider for your home.
Timber Decking
Okay, so this isn’t exactly an ‘outside of the box’ idea, but hey, who doesn’t love a good deck during the Australian summer?
A mainstay of so many Australian homes, timber decking is a great way to create an outstanding living space outside the home.
You can buy merbau decking, treated decking pine and wide range of timber products on our online store to get started with you dream deck!
Timber Garden Walls
It can seem simple, but who knows where you’ll end up until you start looking at the overwhelming array of forms, sizes, and colours available when it comes to making a fence out of landscape timbers.
You may only need a short, easy, and realistic solution for keeping pets from going astray (or preventing stray animals from visiting you! ), but you can also create anything much more ornate and decorative.
Above Ground Timber Pool
An above-ground pool is often a much more cost-effective solution than an inground one, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for an unsightly blue tub in your backyard.
A swimming pool surrounded by wood provides a more relaxing environment. After all, wood and water are two components that complement each other beautifully.
An above-ground timber pool, will add a lot of interest to your yard. It can be less expensive than a conventional pool in terms of costs, particularly if you build it yourself.
Timber Retaining Walls
If your house is on a sloped block, timber retaining walls are another great option to make your landscape pop.
It brings sophistication to your backyard while also providing extra seating and to accomplish this, you could even reuse some leftover timber from another project.
Of course, you want to make sure you have high-quality timber products as a poorly built or low-quality retaining wall could spell disaster later!
Be sure the wood is securely fastened to avoid it being quickly dislodged.
Raised Timber Garden Beds
Raised beds made of wood add complexity to your garden’s aesthetics, providing a striking visual element that breaks up the monotony of a single-level garden and draws attention to your favourite flowers or vegetables.
Landscape timbers may also be used for functional purposes.
You can, for example, use a different kind of soil in your raised bed than you do in the rest of your yard, allowing you to grow a wider range of plants.
You’ll also find that adding a raised bed is a smart option whether you have mobility issues or suffer from back pain.
