This week on the show we welcome James Reed, who is dedicated to innovating the hardscape industry by assisting other companies in building their brands and identifying their target markets. Through his expertise and strategic approach, he aims to elevate the standards of the industry and foster growth for businesses within this sector.

In the second hour, Dean continues the discussion on lawn shrimp infestations, explaining their beneficial role in composting but highlighting the need to address excessive moisture to prevent them from invading homes. He reassures listeners that lawn shrimp are not harmful to health and pest control services can assist with cleanup and moisture control.Dean then talks about the benefits of landscaping and takes a call from a listener interested in creating a Japanese-style garden, advising them to consult local bonsai nurseries for expertise. He explains the differences between hardscape, landscape, and softscape, describing how each serves different outdoor needs. Hardscape includes solid surfaces like stone or concrete, while softscape encompasses natural elements like soil and plants.Finally, Dean discusses the purpose of hardscape in modern landscape design, emphasizing the importance of boundaries such as walls, fences, and hedges to define different areas. He encourages designing landscapes to balance functionality, efficiency, and the return of nature to the property.

In the first hour, Dean dives into the topic of landscaping, explaining the differences between landscape, hardscape, and softscape, and what homeowners can achieve with each. He encourages listeners to rethink and potentially redesign their landscapes, emphasizing that builder-provided landscaping is often an afterthought.Dean provides seven compelling reasons to invest in landscaping, highlighting the ease of building irrigation lines with proper guidance from digalert.com. He discusses the importance of nature in our lives, explaining how less expensive plants can grow to full size over time and the benefits of consulting nurseries about plant maturity.Dean also touches on the historical context of landscaping, noting how controlling nature was once a display of wealth, and now, with urbanization, our exposure to nature is limited. He concludes by taking a call about a lawn shrimp infestation, clarifying that these creatures are crustaceans, not insects.

In the third hour, Dean discusses landscape design for the 21st-century home, emphasizing the need for more nature and less visible structure to create a park-like feel. He uses Central Park as an example of expertly done landscaping that blends hardscape with nature seamlessly.Dean highlights that landscaping offers the highest return on investment, encouraging homeowners to rethink and redraw their outdoor spaces. He advises against following existing landscape lines, suggesting a more natural and whimsical approach to design that minimizes hardscape but remains accessible.He also addresses the growing disconnect from nature, noting that the current generation spends significantly less time outdoors than their parents, leading to increased anxiety and other issues. Dean references the nature pyramid on his socials, which outlines the necessary amount of nature exposure for maintaining health.Dean wraps up the show by summarizing the key tips and strategies discussed, emphasizing the importance of personalizing and enhancing your outdoor space to improve your quality of life.

A sound understanding of hardscape elements is a good feather in the cap for any horticulturist, maintenance operator, or garden enthusiast. Sadly, most of us never get a chance to learn about this part of the garden because we only get to play in the dirt. In this episode, Joel Barnett (In Style Gardens, The Landscaping Podcast) guides us through some of the most common mistakes that people constructing hard elements make, including professionals and enthusiasts alike. We discuss topics such as concrete, paving, brickwork, pools, timber construction, drainage, irrigation, and much, much more.By the end of the episode, you'll know more than the cheapest construction crew you can find on Gumtree. Maybe steer clear of retaining walls and pools until you've done your Cert 3, though.EPISODE LINKSIn Style Gardens website: https://www.instylegardens.com.au/The Landscaping Podcast website: https://www.instylegardens.com.au/the-landscaping-podcastApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-landscaping-podcast/id1568687597Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4HdeeSytX6YDYWRruetpsjFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @PlantsGrowHere / Facebook: @PlantsGrowHerePodcast - Join our Facebook group!VISIT OUR WEBSITEwww.PlantsGrowHere.comYou'll find heaps of educational blog articles, including How To Prune For Natural Shape, What Relationships Do Plants Have With Other Organisms?, and What Is Healthy Soil, And How Can We Build It?.LET'S WORK TOGETHERAre you in the industry or an enthusiast with something of value to share?
