How to Design a Front Garden



gardening hints



For a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, plant a wide range of plants in your front yard. A planting scheme that is simple to maintain but not too complicated is a good idea. The best choice is to use tulips, lavender and other fragrant flowers. For privacy, you could even plant a trailing-flowering plant. If you want a more elegant look, choose a different garden colour scheme. This is how to select the right combination.

Decide which kind of plant and how much space are needed before you begin planting. You should create a structure that is high or low in front your windows. Ensure that the texture and patterns compliment your house. A pallet is a great way to create a landscape. A great idea is to include planet collections and shrubs. They do not require too much attention and can be combined easily with artificial turf. Remember that the more expensive plants and flowers, the more money you'll save in the long run.

If they are placed over your walls, they will make a beautiful focal point.


Structural containers are another option for designing a front garden. You can place them along the garden's perimeter. These containers are made from aluminum and can withstand extreme weather. You can grow a variety of annuals and perennials inside these containers to make an interesting space. These plants will give your house a structure and color throughout the year. You can grow olive trees and cyclamen in these containers. Those plants will continue to provide a vibrant show for a year or more.

You can place low-maintenance plants at the front door of your house. Climbing roses in a garden will enhance the beauty of your home's exterior and make it appear more attractive. Concrete isn’t an option if you don’t want to spend a lot of money. Instead, use bark chips for a more inexpensive option. It will look just like pavement and lasts longer. Low-maintenance plants are best if your concern is about the maintenance of your front yard.
