Are you tired of the dull look your garden possesses? Are you ready to add a little something to your garden that would make it capture hearts? Then, you are at the right place. In this article, we provide you with some of the tips and ideas that can help you give a perfect look to your garden and turn it into a wonder your neighbours would envy and wish to possess.
Many a times, we just ignore the paltry things that help in achieving an aesthetic garden. Things like the right garden design, the perfect lamps, the exquisite garden furniture, beautiful flowers, little ponds etc. just spice up your garden, filling it with beauty and liveliness. Designing your garden is fun, rewarding and stress relieving. Bringing together random things, a bit of outdoor space management and being experimental and a little creative are just the right ingredients to a perfect garden.
The Garden design
The right garden design is pivotal to a perfect garden. It involves capturing a beautiful landscape into a small garden with just the right practicability. You need to consider the whole area and then determine the things you would want to have in your garden. You can formulate a plan for the whole garden and then work on it.
You also need to decide the use of the garden: whether it is a place for you to sit and relax, place for inviting friends and relatives for dinner, a space for a summer soiree or an area for growing veggies to take care of your meals? This will help you determine the must haves for the garden. Decide the things that you will like in your garden. A path will help you in walking in the garden and admire it. A perfect path not only allows quick access to the house, but also adds beauty and character to your garden. Cut flagstone, old and recycled bricks can be used as a paving material for the path. A path 4-5 foot wide can serve well for a garden.
The garden furniture
A perfect garden should provide you with a comfy place where you can sit back and relax after your back-breaking office routine. It should be stylish, comfortable and elegant. You need to decide the size, color, shape and material of the garden furniture. The style of the garden furniture is equally important. Besides comfort, material and size of the furniture, the style of the furniture is to be considered as well. Choose a style for your furniture that goes with the general style of the garden and your home. Using bamboo for the garden furniture can instantly make your garden look beautiful. It is easier to maintain and eco-friendly too.
When it comes to having a perfect garden, you also need to think about the pots, nearby objects and other things, besides the foliage. Try placing planters in your garden near a water source, so that you can avoid running all over the space to fetch water for your plants. You can plant in stylish containers that match the whole look of the garden. Ferns, strawflower, English ivy, lantana look gorgeous in planters. Planting in hanging baskets add charm to the garden. Planted pots look beautiful when put along the garden path. You can also put the planters around a swimming pool or a pond in your garden. You can plant a combination of flowering plants in a single large pot and place in on a pedestal. Trees too, work wonders for your garden. Planting ornamental trees like Japanese maple, white cedar, Crabapple, redbud, willow oak provides you with a beautiful garden you can proudly stroll in. They provide shade and add colors to your garden.
Other things like exquisite lamps, fountains, bird houses etc. provide extra charm and beauty to the garden. You can add these things to set the right mood and bring liveliness to your garden.
So, bring out the designer in you. Experiment and try different things to get the perfect look. Go sit in your garden when it’s done, and savor the taste of nature.
