Your landscape gardening professional can help you install structures such as sheds, pergolas and gazebos that complement your garden design, and artfully-placed garden ideas such as lawn edging and lighting will add definition to your chosen design. For the more horticulturally-inclined, incorporate flower beds, greenhouses or vegetable garden designs. If you love relaxing in the garden and dining al fresco, think about patios, decking, garden furniture and BBQs. How should I design my back garden? Back gardens typically offer more space than front garden designs and serve a more recreational purpose, so it’s important to know how you want to spend time in your garden before you design it in order to build in the features that you will enjoy. If you don’t have the time or commitment to devote to gardening, then neatly pruned hedges, statement paving, hanging baskets, garden benches and outdoor lighting are all decorative, low maintenance garden ideas for your front garden design. Even if your front garden is a small space, keep it tidy – if you have more space, make the most of it with garden ideas and features such as a manicured lawn, gravel driveway, water feature or garden fencing. You may want to opt for front garden designs that blend well with the style of your home – for example, abundant foliage and flowerbeds will perfectly complement a period property, whereas man-made materials, geometric shapes and contrasting textures are great ideas for a contemporary garden design. Begin by considering the area immediately around and leading up to your front door. How do I come up with a front garden design? The priority for a front garden is kerb appeal. But don’t forget that with Houzz your first stop can be collecting images of garden ideas and designs you love in order to inspire your garden plans and potentially share them with a landscape gardening professional.

Consulting a gardener or landscape designer will ensure you have a garden that suits your lifestyle, the local climate and soil conditions. Options for garden designs can be as elaborate or low maintenance as your lifestyle and preferences permit – consider both your aspirations for how it should look and how much time you can invest in garden maintenance. After all, our grounds (however modest) frame our homes and contribute to first impressions not only of our houses, but also of the households within. A beautifully designed garden is as important as the emphasis we place on the designs of our interiors.
