If you’re looking to renovate your garden and make it a beautiful place to hang out, here are some garden ideas to help you change things around. When designing your garden, you do it so that it works best for the space available, and thus it functions effectively for you. It may seem like an overwhelming or heavy-duty task to undertake, Outdoor Art Pros can help make it seem effortless.
Knowing what you’re looking for can be the hardest part, whether you want to plant a vegetable garden, or have a small, peaceful space to escape your stress, there are many ways you can create marvellous garden. Gardening can be calming in itself, so why not take some of these ideas and try them for yourself?
Small pond
If you have sufficient outside space, make the effort to install a small pond in your garden. It’s not the most common of garden features so, if done well, it can be very impressive. They may take a little more effort to maintain, but the enjoyment you’ll experience and the benefit to a range of wildlife make the extra work worthwhile.
Patios and tables
What better way to admire your garden than to have a little seating area for you and your loved ones to enjoy? With a small deck or paved patio area, you can be surrounded by your garden while enjoying it from a perfect vantage point. A paved or decked area can incorporate all manner of other facilities too, such as barbecues and pizza ovens.
Laying a path
Laying a path from your house into the garden has a few different benefits. Walkways are a great way of encouraging guests to explore your outside space – they entice and lead the way. They’ll discover all its main attractions – and secret hidden corners too, if you want them to! Another advantage is that a pathway will dictate where one should step, so that you can avoid the accidental trampling of your beautiful plants & flowers.
If you don’t have a massive garden, it certainly doesn’t mean that you can’t make your little outside area into an oasis. A well-designed walkway is an excellent way to make the most your garden space, creating a garden ‘journey’ and adding interest to the space.
Flowered railing
Do you have a balcony or patio with an eyesore of a railing? A brilliant way to spruce up your space is to disguise it with pretty flowers! You can’t go wrong with beautiful, blooming flowers everywhere. A great way to make use of an often neglected area of a garden is a flowered railing.
Seating and a fountain area
We’ve looked at the positives of having a small seating area in your garden; this provides a sociable space where you can sit with friends & family to enjoy the weather and scenery. Perhaps consider a water feature such as a rivulet or fountain in this space. They work wonderfully as a focal point providing interest in the form of movement and sound.
