If you’re lucky enough to have a garden on your property, then naturally you want to make the most of it. If you’ve just moved in or if your current garden doesn’t fit your needs as a family, then a garden redesign is likely in order.
Approaching garden design as a blank canvas will allow you to come up with your dream outcome. Here are some of the top factors to consider to point you in the right direction.
Gardens can be used for anything from housing the kid’s outdoor toys to entertaining, and even showing off your prized floral displays. Therefore, your garden should be a reflection of how it needs to perform. Make sure your needs are factored in before you go ahead with any building work, so that you will be truly happy with the end result.
Some gardens are perfectly proportioned and others have a sloped or generally awkward layout to them. A landscape designer can help you get the best out of your layout whatever it happens to be. This can include planning different zones to fulfil everything you do in the garden. Likewise, the layout must make the most of where the sun hits since nobody wants a seating area that’s in the shade!
Any materials that you select for your garden need to be durable and able to withstand your local weather conditions. If your country’s climate has any extremes of weather then this is even more vital. The materials should be easy to maintain, and not create a slipping hazard, especially if you plan on using any tiles. Also, be aware that some materials such as wood may need regular maintenance so that they are weather resistant.
When designing your garden, the elements you choose will dictate whether the space just needs a quick sweep or hours of maintenance. Depending on how busy your lifestyle is, you should consider if you want a fuss-free garden, or whether you can dedicate a lot of time towards its upkeep.
If you want the best of both worlds, it can be handy to hire some help to reduce the workload. As well as having someone to design your dream garden, some of the professionals you can find to help maintain your outside space on Bark include:
Some work may only need doing once every few months if not years. However, when it comes to plants and mowing the lawn this will need to be done a lot more regularly especially during the summer months.
Although a lot of planning is involved when designing your dream garden, getting the details right now will be well worth it in the end. Your new space will be highly enjoyable to spend time in, and it may also boost the value of your property too. From quality time with the family to a quiet place to escape from it all, your new garden is going to be a showstopper if you follow the above advice.
