Tips for a luscious landscape

Start from the ground up. Consider these pointers in your landscape design endeavour and make magic in your outdoor area.

Hardscaping: Hardscape refers to the immovable aspects of landscape such as paving, pathways, fences and more. Hardscape trimmings can include laying brick edging or gravel / pebble pathways. Given the more structural nature of hardscapes, its better to leave this aspect to the professionals.

Planting the foundation: Foundation plantings soften the transition between the house and the garden, and neutralise the strong lines of the structure. Ever greens retain their foliage and colour all year round whilst deciduous trees will give a sense of the seasons. Ensure to only choose foundation plants whose roots or branches will not become troublesome and grow into or under the house as they age.

Privacy: Landscapes greatly benefit from a sense of enclosure. Privacy fences add to this sense of sanctuary and refuge. A trellis of climbing vines, tall plants or lattice work can all enhance the landscape garden design with these natural looking fences and enclosure structures.

Great gardens have good bones. Start with good hardscape fundamentals and growl the nature around that. Scan our directory for the best landscaping businesses and services to help you beautify your landscape.
