Landscaping Ideas To Enhance Your Garden’s Character

It can be easy to leave a garden neglected and overgrown, or a new garden to its simple, uninspired design. However, if you’re lucky enough to have a garden, it should be treasured! During Covid-19 restrictions, many of us learned the value of a little outdoor space to call our own. 

A garden should be the pride and joy of a home, an external refuge to yourself where you can get some fresh air and a small slice of nature. It may be that some relatively simple landscaping could breathe new life into your garden, reclaiming it for that purpose. 

We’ve listed just a few such ideas that can transform your garden. 

Clear The Space

First things first, if your garden is looking a little overgrown and crowded, you’ll want to give a good clear. This is a simple enough first step but it gives a better sense of the space you’re working with, making it easier to envision the changes you want to make.

Use Curved Lines

All too often, a home’s garden is designed for simplicity, speed, and cost-effectiveness. This means uninspiring spaces that use simple straight lines around beds, or for boundaries or pathways. 

This gives a garden a somewhat sterile and man-made look, at odds with the nature gardens are really meant to display and nurture in so many ways. Building curved flower beds, pathways, and other lines in your garden makes for a much more natural and interesting look overall.

Frame The Lawn

Lawns often make up the vast majority of a garden space, and yet they can be left as a simple, edgeless patch of grass. Simply framing the lawn with a low wall, hedge, or another boundary can transform the lawn into an intentional, visual aspect of the garden.

Create Focal Points

Having a few focal points helps to tie a garden’s components together, and guide the eye around the space. These could be anything from an interesting garden sculpture to a brightly coloured back door, or installing a well-pruned Japanese maple. 

Be sure not to overcrowd your garden, however, and create too much noise. Use focal points that scale appropriately with the space you have.
