Pay Attention To The Hardscaping In Your Garden To Make It Stand Out
A garden that is designed well will give you many hours of enjoyment, both because the flowers are beautiful and because gardens are peaceful to work in.
No matter what type of garden you have it will make it even nicer if you pay attention to the hardscaping elements of your garden.
Hardscaping ads great beauty to any garden. It can become a defining feature and reflect your personality. Hardscaping simply refers to the non plant portions of your garden design.
Some elements of hardscaping include stepping stones, fencing, statuary and fountains. These will all contribute to the overall look and feel of your garden.
When you are thinking about what kind of non plant items to put in your garden you will want to consider several different things like function and style as well as your own personality.
Hardscaping can be both functional and decorative. Some examples of functional elements are stepping stones that lead you down a path, garden gates, and fences that define a garden. These items should both serve there purpose but also be beautiful.
For instance if you have an Asian inspired garden you may want to consider bamboo fencing and a pergola type arch to continue the theme of the garden. On the other hand if you have a perennial cottage garden than a white picket or wrought iron fence with flagstone stepping stones would be appropriate.
When hardscaping is purely decorative you have a unique opportunity to let your own personality shine. Garden statues and fountains should reflect your interests and tastes.
A lot of times people struggle with where to put their decorative garden items. A good rule to go by is no more than 1 large fountain or statue per garden area or 3 small ones grouped together.
If you want to make your garden truly unique it is always good to pay attention to the hardscaping part of your garden. It is a great way to let your personality shine.
