All Change – Landscaping Contractors and the New British Home


by Fourwinds Landscaping

Remember when people used to sell houses? There used to be a thing called the “property ladder”, which people would clamber up by selling increasingly large properties to other people. Then the people who had bought those houses would sell them on again, and so on. Eventually, everyone was supposed to end up with some kind of dream house, a mansion, and they’d put roots down, and get the landscaping contractors in, and – again – so on. Only it never happened. The property ladder fell apart and everyone got stuck with the house they currently owned. For a while, they thought this was a fault. Then it looked like a hump. Now, it looks a lot like reality: which has forced everyone to change the way they think about property. Where one lives now is “home”, for the first time in years. People are putting down roots where they live, rather than waiting for where they think they might want to be. Home decorating is being done not with a view to selling but with a view to staying. And gardens all across the UK are getting major facelifts as the population realises that the time to call in the landscaping contractors, rather than at some indefinite point in the future, is now.

A garden makes a home. Everyone, deep down, knows that. The garden is the last outpost, the final thing to be transformed when a property makes that transition from dwelling to home. It’s that place, that refuge that marks a house and grounds as somewhere that people really live, rather than existing. And landscaping, as a result of this shift in people’s perceptions of the houses they currently occupy, is starting to go through the roof.

Ultimately, the watchword seems to be “why wait”? Why indeed? What’s the point in hanging on to a half finished idea that might never happen, when one could make a perfectly good life for oneself in the dwelling one currently inhabits? And so people all over Britain are having landscaping contractors in to transform their new dream into a long-awaited reality: a haven, amongst all this doom and gloom that could last for years. Now – there’s a little more to this than meets the eye. The garden can be more than a simple retreat: well done, it can promote a sense of well being and happiness that nothing else in the home can offer. The results of such feelings are well known. People who feel good about themselves tend to make better fists of whatever situation they find themselves in – and that, in turn, means that they are more likely to haul themselves up by their bootstraps and get on with things. Even in the dire financial circumstances we all keep pretending we’re not in at the moment. Calling in the landscaping contractors, now, is more than just an acceptance of the fact that one’s current house is now one’s home: it’s a call to arms, evidence of a practically seismic shift in a national consciousness. This isn’t making do: it’s making the best of. An age-old urge to make one’s permanent location beautiful is back: and it could, if we’re lucky, be a way in to a whole new perspective.
