Family garden design

Family garden design Hard

Family garden design is often the hardest to create; the main part of the brief is often to have a large lawn area and hardy, low maintenance plants that can withstand the odd hit from a football! Luckily a huge number of plants can be used in the family garden, as due to our climate a wide variety of plants have toughened up to weather like strong wind and hail.

‘Pockets’ of planting is normally preferable, as full perimeter borders create a lot of maintenance. Illusions of continuing borders are also effective where the border protrudes in to the garden blocking your vision down the side of the garden. It can be more aesthetically pleasing than a large amount of fencing and adds intrigue as you cannot see around the bend.

Curved borders are always a good option as boxed borders in the garden can look strange and very isolated. Designing curves ‘off plan’ look much better; this is where you draw a circle on the design board which continues through the fence line therefore leaving a small curve in the border.

Edging a flowing, curved lawn can be very aesthetically pleasing, and as the lawn is often the largest feature in a garden it is important that it looks ‘finished’ for the family garden design

Should you only get one garden design

So should you only get one garden design and is it fair that most garden designers provide one design only?

I don’t know if you are anything like me, but when I go shopping I am unable to tell you exactly what I want until I see it for myself. Once I am presented with it, then I instantly know that I like it and it’s what I’m after.

I have often found this to be true for our clients. If I am lucky, a client will show me an exact replica of what they like and then it’s simply a case of transforming the picture into their garden. However, I am not usually as lucky as this, because a client doesn’t always have a clear view of what they want. If they did, then surely they would get the garden design drawn up themselves.

Instead, I often get a vague idea of what they are after. But in honesty I prefer this, as it gives me a greater creativity allowance. So be careful if your brief is too constraining.

Once I receive my brief, the garden design process starts. Although I don’t consider the design process as starting until the client has seen a few of my ideas. A garden design often evolves upon seeing the design as the client then contributes some real input. This only makes for a better end product, as a garden design that has been imposed upon by the designer, can often leave the client feeling disconnected from the design.

Although I would say it is my job as a garden designer to steer this process, a garden design must meet some of the essential garden design principles.

Small Garden Design Tips

Small garden design,If you have designed your garden in such a way that you have areas of paving or gravel, you may want to liven these up with some well-planted containers. Equally, if your garden is very small, some strategically placed pots full of colourful flowers may be what you need to inject some interest. Arranging the pots in a cluster will provide several different focal points and create an illusion of greater size. This week we will feature DIY small space gardening tips.

DIY Small Space Gardening Tips

Do you have a small backyard and have little space for creative gardening? With a few tips and ideas you will be surprised how you can effectively use the space to create a beautiful and productive garden. There are so many different plants suitable for container gardening. Container plants are planted very close together and therefore will require different treatment compared to traditional borders, this will include:
1. Plenty of water
2. Proprietary compost
3. Regular feeding
It is important to get compost of good quality as container plants are unable to get important nutrients from the soil like those in garden borders. Container plants need more water than those in beds and can sometimes need watering twice a day. They will also need feeding more often, ideally with a sufficient compost which contains nutrients. Your concrete yard or patio is not only limited to plants: vegetables, fruits and herbs can all be grown in small spaces using containers.

Growing healthy plants is the first step to a great garden. In order to achieve this it is important to prevent pests through care, specific plant selection and planting.

Garden pests

A major problem for some gardeners can be garden pests. If you are facing pest infection, this week we will advise you how to reduce the amount of pests that you have in the garden. Three top tips include:
1. Use biological weapons
2. Use a variation of plants
3. Manual work
By adding a predator to the food chain, the number of pests will decrease. Like humans, pests also have food preferences and dislikes. By incorporating different plants the pest will have a limited supply of their favourite food type. Pests can also be removed manually, trapping them and eliminating them from the garden. You may encounter a selection of pests so it is important that you are able to identify the pest to prevent them from damaging your plants. You will have a healthy garden once you know how to get rid of the type of pest that is present.

Some gardeners are happy to use chemical pesticides, whereas others prefer to use more natural methods when they are available. What method you choose is of course a personal preference.

Whether you have a limited garden space or annoying pests, we hope this feature has provided a few ways to overcome or reduce the problem..
