Regardless of how large of small your garden space is you can create a space that you will greatly enjoy. It may be a roof space, a small courtyard, a front or backyard but with some landscape gardening help, you can make it an absolute beauty. If your space is particularly small, the challenge will be figuring out what you can leave out because most times, people want to cram a whole lot of stuff in the garden. Because it is a small garden you will need to plan it very carefully to get the results you have been dreaming of.
The landscape gardening for small spaces should be very carefully thought out. It is important that you not rush the process. Begin by imagining how your garden will look in the different seasons of the year. In addition observe carefully how the sun shines on your garden at different times of the day. The plants you select and their seating will be greatly affected by this. In addition look at the features that you already have and figure out what you want to keep and what you can do without.
If the garden space you are working with is long and narrow like a corridor and if it also is your way to the front door you need to make it both practical and visually attractive. Landscape gardening for such a space calls for plants are slow in growth so that you don't have to worry about cutting and trimming all the time. It is also a good idea to work with plants that give off a fragrance. You would also do well to add a path preferably a gravel one. With that, you don't have to trudge mud into the house and you will always know when someone is coming to the door because you can hear the stones crunching.
If all you have to work with is a balcony then have no fear. You can use potted plants to turn it into a haven you will enjoy. Make sure to leave a space for a small table with chairs or even a sun lounger so you can catch some rays. Regardless of whether you are working with a small or large yard, it is a good idea to have grass. Many people fear having a lawn because they consider it high maintenance. However, there are things you can do to curb the growth of the grass. In addition with a good mower you can get a small lawn done in no time at all.
Landscape gardening is not complete without some great outdoor furniture. It is important that you find furniture that will look good in your garden and that will fit the space perfectly. It should especially look good when no one is using it, but should also be comfortable for those times when you need to relax or entertain outdoors. Accessorize your outdoor furniture with colorful pieces that will look fantastic in the natural light of the sun. Adelyn Taylor @ Fast Landscape Gardening.
