Offers more options for growing and can help with mobility challenges
Whether you have several acres or limited yard space, raised gardens give you more flexibility to choose the location you want despite obstacles like slopes, trees or bad soil.
Tall, narrow raised gardens or even raised beds with legs make it easier to reach or if bending down is not an option.
Snails and slugs find it difficult to climb the walls of the raised garden, and nearby weeds will find it harder to invade. Even the natural oils in redwood help deter some pests.
Helps to control the growing environment and increase yields
Soil warms up faster in spring and maintains warmth longer in the fall which means a quicker plant-to-harvest time.
Most gardens could benefit from better soil. Good compost and humus will either take time (to make your own) or money, but with raised beds it goes right where you need it. Also, if you are uncertain of the health or safety of your existing soil, raised gardening is a much safer option.
The richness and depth of the soil in a raised garden accommodates much denser planting conditions and allows for harvesting with higher yields.
Improves drainage and limits soil compaction
Some gardens retain too much water, and in others it just washes away. However, a raised garden with good soil and mulch on top manages water very nicely and allows water to flow freely with the absence of any hard-pan.
Provides a level growing area despite a slope, allows better drainage without much run-off, and soil will be less compacted since standing or walking on the soil is unnecessary.
Colorful grains of the quality redwood we use in constructing each raised garden bed adds functionality and beauty to any yard or landscape.
