1. Have a plan based on your garden’s requirements

Landscaping a garden is in many ways similar to renovating your home, and as such you should devise a plan before jumping straight into digging up the grass and adding plants. Consider what it is exactly that you want out of your garden. Do you want to create a fun space in which the kids can play and stretch their imaginations? Or is your goal to become more self-sufficient by growing fruit and veg and perhaps adding a chicken coop?

The goal for your perfect garden will require different considerations. In addition to this, you should consider the existing features of your garden as they will have a bearing on what you can do with it. Soil types, for instance, have a huge impact on the type of plants and crops that will thrive in your garden. If you’re unsure what to do, professional landscaping contractors are always available to help you out.

2. Add an eye-catching water feature

Add some interest to your garden design by including an eye-catching water feature. If your garden goal is to create a space in which nature can thrive, a water garden is a great way to attract wildlife. Ponds can be built in such a way that they appear like natural features in your garden, and you can add and aquatic plants such as water lilies and willow moss, which as well as looking pretty, help to clean and oxygenate the pond water.

To add additional architectural interest, why not consider adding a fountain as well? Available in a number of designs and materials, there is a fountain available to suit every taste, whether you want the classic look of a Renaissance villa or a modern dancing water feature.

How to Choose the Right Deck or Patio

3. Include garden furniture

If your furniture is an afterthought, there is you risk buying in a hurry and ends up not fitting your garden design. Garden furniture is available in a number of designs to suit all tastes and budgets, whether you want a relaxed rattan outdoor sofa or a classic white-enamel wrought iron set.

Get the most out of your garden in the cooler months by adding a few outside heaters. Or, even building a summer house or gazebo. Then you'll make the most of your garden space even in the cooler months for year-round enjoyment.
