Garden walls are a great way to add structure and style to a yard, but like any outdoor feature, they can become damaged over time. Whether it’s due to weather, age, or accidents, garden wall repairs are a common need for homeowners.
One of the most common issues with garden walls is cracking or crumbling mortar. This can be caused by weather exposure, moisture, or settling of the foundation. If the damage is minor, it can often be repaired by simply removing the damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar.
The term “lawn”, referring to a managed grass space, dates to no earlier than the 16th century. Tied to suburban expansion and the creation of the household aesthetic, the lawn is an important aspect of the interaction between the natural environment and the constructed urban and suburban space. In many suburban areas, there are bylaws in place requiring houses to have lawns and requiring the proper maintenance of these lawns. In some jurisdictions where there are water shortages, local government authorities are encouraging alternatives to lawns to reduce water use.
