Designing the exteriors- renovation with landscaped gardens

Updating your home’s landscaping is a great way to increase the value of your property and create outdoor spaces for relaxing and entertaining. Whether you want to focus on your front yard, backyard or entire piece of land, there is an interesting option to consider with that- gardening. In the backyard you can create a space for rejuvenation by creating a lush green garden that attracts wildlife and allows you to relax and reflect. In the front yard you could design a beautiful walkway or you could tear up your lawn in favor of an eco-friendly garden.

Gardens add a magic in your home. It is said that making a garden is a continuous job; it is never finished, never made completely. It is a continuous creation by the gardeners that changes every season, every year. However, experienced gardeners are pretty aware of the fact and they enjoy this too. With the season change, gardeners introduce the exterior of the house with newer plants and their splendor; enjoy meeting the challenges of sustaining lives of the plants in each season.

 

Gardeners are always thinking, always improving, always dreaming. Once one section of the exteriors’ is complete, they move onto another. This article is filled with ideas and inspiration for the home gardener and makes a landscaped view of the exteriors. We will point out few popular garden types here that will suit your exteriors wonderfully.

Small garden

Small gardens are excellent. In your rooftops, narrow space in the balcony or an open window- small pot with cactuses, or a flowering weed adds that extra zing!  Experts say that dividing a small garden onto sitting spaces and plants often offers a contradictory effect to making it seem larger.

Shade garden

Creating a shade garden is difficult. However, people without an expertise to manage the shade loving plants find it really difficult to create a shade garden in their exteriors. We suggest trying once and you will be surprised with the variety of colors, weeds and plants available for making a shade garden. Both foliage and flower lovers will be impressed by the wide variety of shade-loving plants available that will flourish in filtered light, deep shade, or even a wetland environment.

Cottage garden

An enticing cottage garden with beautifully smelling flowers, full of colors and planted herbs with a variety of mystery and serenity is what we dream of a home. Most cottage gardens seem to set a romantic tone. Maybe it is because pastel shades are favored here or perhaps it is because of fragrant flowers that are popular in this kind of garden. We suggest you to surround your cottage garden with fence designed with climbing roses and add elements like sculptures, sitting tools and stone-paved path.

Container garden

Containers are great for beginning gardeners, people who have limited space or anyone who wants to dress up their small terrace or porch corner. For a container garden, you can start with a single plant or a combination of plants depending on the look you are trying to achieve. Popular plants for containers include flowers, herbs, grasses and cactuses. Many gardeners switch out the plants they grow seasonally to ensure nonstop color throughout the year. When selecting container garden, measure few things like soil, air and light, drainage and the types of pots that won’t hamper your exterior decoration theme and the plant’s health as well.
