FLOWERBED DESIGN
Beds are an extremely important element in garden design as only atmospheric planting with beautiful flowers and herbaceous perennials gives the garden individuality and that certain extra something. It’s hardly surprising that many gardeners invest a lot of time and effort into the design to ensure the plants grow well and attract attention every year with their vibrant colors. One of the most important tips when designing or creating a new bed is to select the right plants bearing in mind the location and the compatibility of the plants. In addition, it is vital to think about suitable edging for the different areas from the outset when planning the garden and designing the beds. If this is not taken into consideration at the planning stage, maintenance of the beds will be much more time-consuming later on, as without a border, the lawn can take over the beds and conversely, the plants can also grow over the edge of the bed - not a particularly good look.
This can be prevented in the long term with a suitable border. Our hanit recycled range offers you the choice between delicate bed edging and a somewhat more robust lawn edge. Both products are ideal for differentiating beds from lawns visually and functionally and providing a decorative backdrop for various types of plants in the garden - whether annuals, perennials, or vegetables. Compared to models made from conventional landscaping materials, our products have several advantages that ensure long-lasting and reliable use in the garden. hanit is, for example, weatherproof and splinter-free. This makes time-consuming repairs in spring or sealing in autumn a thing of the past. Our recycled plastic easily withstands even frosty temperatures in winter and remains strong and unbreakable in both sunny and shady spots in the garden. Our bed design products give gardens a neat appearance all year round and are often used for front gardens. hanit is the optimum base for a sustainably attractive and well-kept appearance and hugely reduces the effort required for garden upkeep.
