If you have fencing this will trap and reflect the warmth in south facing areas whereas northern facing gardens can favour plants such as fuchsias and hellebores.<\/p>\n<h3>Your Garden\u2019s Micro-Climate Assessment<\/h3>\n<p>The first thing you will need to do to check your garden\u2019s micro-climate is look at the surrounding buildings, topography and trees and see how your garden is affected by winds (if at all).<br \/>\nLook to see if your trees lack top branches or they bent away from the direction of western or southern winds and if the garden is low-lying check for watercourses and ponds.<br \/>\nNow you will need to survey existing buildings, hedges, trees and walls to find sheltered warm spots, exposed windy corners plus corridors and dank, sunless areas.<br \/>\nFinally consider shaded areas, which may be easier to identify using a mobile phone camera than simply looking yourself, as the camera\u2019s lens can identify low light levels easier.<\/p>\n<h4>Weston Sawmill \u2013 Transforming Gardens for 25 Years<\/h4>\n<p>From our based in Weston-under-Lizard, Weston Sawmill have provided the finest fencing and <a title=\"Decking in Shropshire\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westonsawmillandnursery.co.uk\/decking\/\">decking<\/a> solutions for gardens in Shropshire and Staffordshire for now over 25 years.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also experts in garden furniture and <a title=\"Garden Landscaping\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westonsawmillandnursery.co.uk\/landscaping\/\">landscaping<\/a> options such as hanging gates and planting.
