5 Things to Build in a Large Garden
If you’re blessed with a large garden to accompany your home you’ll want to make it as homely as the inside of your house. Gardens which are utilised to their full potential can add value onto your home and can be great to spend time in. For those keen gardeners and DIY enthusiasts, spending time landscaping the garden and building additions can be an excellent hobby.
There are many different ways to utilise your garden, depending on you and your family. Many people neglect their gardens due to the amount of maintenance they require. There are so many possibilities to improve the garden however, that it doesn’t stop at planting trees and trimming hedges.
Sports Area
Sports areas can really personalise a garden and are excellent sources of entertainment for your family and guests. If you’re passionate about playing a particular sport you could build a small scale sports area for friendly play and practice. Mini golf courses can be popular a popular garden sport choice. If you decide to use Astroturf or artificial grass, specific glue guns may be required for effective sealing.
If you have children and would like to supervise them while they play outdoors you could build a children’s play area. It’s a great way for your children to exercise and stay fit whilst having fun in the safety of their own garden.
Annex
Building an annex can significantly add value to your property. Annexes can be used for a variety of accommodation purposes including housing an elderly relative, providing independence for a young adult or can even being rented out to a lodger as an additional source of income. Before beginning construction, applying for planning permission is mandatory to avoid being penalised off the local council.
Wildlife Garden
Building a wildlife garden can help insects and small mammals. They attract many birds which is great for people who enjoy bird watching. Bird tables and feeders along with flowering plants and fruit bearing plants are typical amongst home wildlife gardens. If you have children in your home it’s a great way to teach them about different kinds of wildlife and the importance of respecting the environment. If you’re handy at DIY you could even construct your own bird table and bath using timber and glue sticks.
Waterfall
A waterfall or water feature can be visually attractive and therapeutic. They’re impressive to guests when entertaining and can make an excellent focal point for the garden. If your waterfall ends in a pond you could keep some fish in there too. Bear safety in mind when considering a water feature in the garden, use grids and fences to prevent young children falling in.
Workshop/Studio
If you or someone in your family has a hobby or occupation which requires some space away from the home, a workshop or studio in the garden could be a great place for them to work. Workshops can be great for hobbies such as building toy boats and trains. Studios can also be useful for creative hobbies and occupations such as dancing, photography and painting. They can be great places to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and allow you to reach optimum concentration.
Utilising your garden can be great for adding value to your property, protecting local wildlife and practicing hobbies. In addition to general gardening, there are many different ways to use your garden, making them enjoyable and unique additions to a property.

How do you dispose of dead wildlife you find in your garden?
I recently found a dead possum. I got a snow shovel and used it to put him into a big cardboard box, closed the box, put it into a garbage bag and put it out for the garbage.
How do you deal with unpleasant tasks like this?
Depending on where you found the carrion? I usally just bury it in my garden if it is a big animal. Let crows or ratcoons eat the smaller ones.
The problem is domestic animals. You cannot bury “dead” cats on one’s property since groups would think you “abused” such animals.
Dead cats and dogs are to be place in a bag and animal control will come to get them.
As a kid, if I found a recently dead animal, I would disect it to see if I could find the cause of death —
