Creative Gardening London tips to bring your garden area to the next level

 

When carefully designed, your garden can become a lot more than a patch of grass around your home. Instead, it can be transformed into a restful outdoor retreat where you can spend time soaking in the sun and creating priceless memories with your favourite people. The following creative Gardening London ideas will help you transform an ordinary outdoor space into an impressive getaway:

 

Add a fountain

 

Adding a fountain to your outdoor space could help to create a calming atmosphere. The sound of running water not only relaxes the mind and restores the body, but it helps to minimize road noise and other problems. 

 

Think about putting a stone fountain in a low profile corner of your garden. Place a bench or sofa nearby so you can rest and benefit from the sound of the water. Alternatively, you could take an even more modern approach by installing a wall fountain near your patio. The cleaner look provides gentle water sounds, but may be a better fit if your house has modern design.

 

Install pathways

 

Creating pathways through your garden can not only help to break up the space, but can turn a trip through your garden into an exciting experience. For a unique design, use mosaic stepping stones to design the pathways. If you prefer a more natural design, stone pavers are also a good option.

 

Create one or more special nooks

 

An element of landscape gardening is finding techniques to make the space more calming. Creating hidden nooks is a good way to accomplish this. For example, try building a little pergola in one corner of your garden. Hang weather-proof sheer curtains on 3 of the edges to create the sense of an outdoor room. Finally, surround the pergola with plants and grass to set it apart from the rest of your space. Add a table or an outdoor recliner to design a wonderful getaway where you can rest with a great book or you could just sit and sip a glass of iced tea.

 

Build an arched entryway

 

The entrance to your garden or yard sets the stage for what's to come. A flower-covered arch with a half-open gate creates an inviting and charming entrance that makes you want to see what lies on the other side. 

 

Pre-built archways are available in different materials ranging from synthetic to cast iron. Spend time looking around to find an archway that complements the structure of your house. Next, discover plants that grow well in your climate. Based on where you live, climbing roses, clematis and wisteria are great choices. As the plants grow over the archway, it will add some magic to your outdoor space.

 

Landscape gardening can transform a boring yard into a brilliant area. Tasks just like installing outdoor fountains, fitting pathways, making unique nooks and adding a good entryway can all help you create a warm, relaxing retreat where you could escape the hassle and bustle of daily life.
