Christmas trees in Wolverhampton

How to choose your real Christmas trees in Wolverhampton

Real Christmas trees in Wolverhampton are becoming an increasingly popular choice for families looking for that authentic look this festive season.

A fully lit real Christmas tree can be the centrepiece of your decorations and will add a touch of class to your living room.

But if you’re worried about the potential mess an authentic tree could bring, there’s always the option of having a smaller tree outside on your porch or in your front garden so the neighbours and passers-by can see you’re getting into the festive spirit.

Alternatively families with larger properties are choosing to have more than one tree, with different size trees based in different rooms of their home.

You can never have too many Christmas trees, right?

Tips for maintaining Christmas trees in Wolverhampton

The National Christmas Tree Association offers these tips to maintain your tree right through the season –
• Display your tree in a traditional reservoir type stand and water regularly to minimise needle loss
• Use a stand to fit your tree
• Always inspect your lights before adding to the tree and if worn replace before fitting
• Drilling a hole in the base of the trunk doesn’t improve water intake
• Don’t overload electric circuits and turn off your tree lights when going out or to bed
• Never burn any part of your Christmas tree in a wood stove or fireplace
• Check your stand daily to make sure the level of water doesn’t go below the base of the tree

Decking in Shropshire

Maintaining your decking in Shropshire this Winter

It’s fair to say you will use your decking in Shropshire a lot less during the colder winter months.

During this time of inactivity it’s vital to provide regular maintenance to stop it going into a state of disrepair and looking old and tired.

With the summer heatwave now a distant memory many families are using indoor rooms to spend time together, but preserving the pride in your property also means not forgetting about your decking.

Here are some of the most common decking issues –
• Loss of natural colour, with decking boards turning grey or silver over time
• Build up of moss, mildew or mould that makes wood slippery
• Decking that is cracking, peeling and flaking off

Before you even consider any maintenance it’s important to first look at the positioning of the decking.

For example a south facing decking will face the full brunt of the summer sun, which in turn could cause fading in colour.
Whereas decking that is partially shaded by parts of your plants and flowers may be subject to mould and algae due to damp conditions and falling leaves.

Best tools for your decking in Shropshire

There are five main types of treatment which can help keep your decking looking top class:
• Decking oils
• Decking paints
• Decking cleaners and restorers
• Decking preservers

Fencing in Staffordshire

Why fencing in Staffordshire makes good neighbours

Fencing in Staffordshire is not about creating obstacles between neighbours but rather maintaining personal space for families.

We’re seeing a trend of smaller blocks and larger houses being built, making space in suburbia becoming tighter and tighter.

Recently it was announced that 55 detached and semi detached houses in the Staffordshire Moorlands will be built adjacent to the former Travellers Rest pub in Leekbrook.

Time to start putting fencing in Staffordshire into your housing plan

It’s widely considered that developers and architects designing homes often focus so much on the interior of a home, such as the kitchen and the bathroom with the garden and fencing coming a distance second.

As Poet Robert Frost said in his work Meddling Wall in 1914,
“Good fences make good neighbours.”

Although this quote is over 100 years old, it still rings very true today.

Believe it or not a top quality fence also won’t cost you the earth.

Our Rounding Top Panels start from just £18.00, with each panel built to last during any season as well as being safe around pets and young children.

First impressions of fencing in Staffordshire still count

When your new neighbours first come to visit your home to introduce themselves one of the first things they will see will be your fencing.

So, making sure this fits with the quality of your home is important because let’s face it – first impressions still count.
