Garden Design for Your Garden

Garden design is a matter of personal taste where you have a wide amount of choices. So you may find yourself appropriately drawn to a garden design ideas such as the English Cottage Garden; or a Naturalistic or even a Xeric garden. Whatever your choice, the first step is to start with what you already have. Now some questions to ponder here are:

Is the garden you’re creating being redone from scratch ?

Is it a garden that’s somewhat established and you’re editing it or adding to it ?

Do you want your garden to be low maintenance or high maintenance, what site requirements are there for you to use ?

Now a good design has the basics of structure, a form of unity which pulls different types of elements together to make a whole which is coherent; plus a repletion of both color and form. You also need to consider movement, the scale of plants to one another and their proportions. Too, plants are mixed together in color, form and texture to establish a well thought out garden idea.

Garden Designs for a Garden

In addition , you can make different themes and garden textures using hard landscaping which include raised beds, fences and paths for example. Trees, shrubs, and flowerbeds are considered soft landscaping. Information about both of types of landscaping are plentiful.

Further, you will find it’s much easier to sketch your small garden ideas on paper or to use a computer garden design software first before actually putting your hands in the soil. Because if you make a mistake or change your mind, it’s much easier to erase or delete it there than to be ripping out what you’ve planted because you don’t like it.

Simply then, your taste and choices are as wide as the ground you have to plant on.
