Landscape Garden Design Ideas

One aspect of gardening that many of us have trouble with is applying the elements of design to our landscaping and garden design, especially when the design isn't planned as a whole. This can lead to a variety of problems, such as jarring color combination or distractingly busy gardens. One of the most common problems I see in garden designs is that they just turn out a little boring. A great way to fix this is to break up the uniformity and add a little contrast, and here are a few design ideas to help you do that.

Adding a plant with deep red or very dark green foliage to a brightly-colored garden can make a huge difference. Try deep purple or red flowers for a garden with mostly pastels. In a garden that tends toward dark foliage, a few bright accent flowers or plants, or even a white sculpture, fence, or flagstones can be exactly what you need. This is very common in Japanese garden designs, where a dark, carefully pruned tree against a white wall can be a stunning thing. The other way to create contrast with color is to go to the other side of the color wheel. Use red accents to contrast with greens, or a few blue flowers in a garden of reds and oranges. This is a method often used in cottage and English garden designs, where the profusion of flowers often calls for colors as the main method of creating contrast. It is also used very effectively in many tulip beds, where so many similar flowers at a similar, orderly height can create a sea of color that is beautiful when broken up with a few carefully placed contrasting flowers.

Landscape Design Ideas For Gardens

Even small London or city gardens, where space is a premium, can be transformed into a haven of architectural foliage and fabulous areas for summer dining and entertaining, adding not only value to the home, but a new dimension to living space. Remember, the garden should not be considered as a separate entity, but more as an extension of the living room. In our short summers it should be a magnet drawing family and friends to it at every available opportunity, and in winter the view should be one which serves to remind that spring is not too far away.

Garden Landscaping Design Sydney,The design and planning of a garden is the starting point. The chosen style and design should reflect the home and not be at odds with it. One needs to begin by addressing any unsightly features. Even an ugly view can be softened with careful thought to planting. Equally, privacy should be protected without the prying eyes of neighbors overlooking. Once again this can usually be achieved with strategic planting. Common garden fences can be camouflaged, as can sheds, which may serve as essential storage, but lend absolutely nothing to the overall design.
