When designing your garden, you need to think about how the space will be used. This will enable you to get maximum use from your garden rather than leaving it to become overgrown. You will be able to adapt your garden to your lifestyle so take into consideration how much time you will have to keep it looking well maintained. This will make your garden become an enjoyable place to be rather than a burden.
Play area
If you have kids, the best way to burn off their energy is by letting them run around outside. When designing the garden, think about space. This is important as it will give your kids more space to play in. In the summer, paddling pools and various other toys and equipment are usually set up outside to be enjoyed in the lovely sunny days so look at storage ideas. This will help keep your garden immaculate all year round. Try to avoid having steps in your garden so you don’t have to worry about your children falling down them. This will give you piece of mind when they are running around and play outside all day.
Country garden
Even if you don’t live in a rural area, you can still make your garden look like a picturesque cottage. By planting wild flowers to attract wildlife to having a perfect striped lawn, there are many ways you can create an idyllic outside space. A lot of country style gardens require a lot of maintenance from constantly pruning plants and hedges to mowing the lawn. To get the best of both worlds, GrassWarehouse do high quality artificial grass which is perfect if you want to minimise garden maintenance so you can spend more time relaxing outside.
Edible garden
Not only is it cheaper to grow your own fruit and vegetables but you get a sense of satisfaction when it comes to harvest. This is the perfect way to utilise your garden if you are looking to become more self sufficient. You can grow an abundance of edible flowers to add colour to your garden so it is just as appealing to look at. To be able to plant crops, you need to check your soil as you might need to add compost to get the perfect growing conditions. If you don’t have a lot of space, you could use raised container beds so you can still have a grassed area.
Perfume garden
Not only are flowers good to look at but they also give off a lovely aroma, so much so, many people like to have a perfume garden. Flowers such as lavender, sweet violets and roses provide different levels of scent which compliment each other. This will make you home inviting and the perfect place to unwind and relax in the sun. If you want to make the most of lovely scented plants, you could grow certain plants for cutting or flowers which can be dried so you can bring the scents into your home.
