Garden design is becoming more and more important, and there are many styles that can be applied today in order to achieve true wonders in which to spend your leisure time. Many people dream of having a large garden in which they can put many things, but the truth is that in a small one you can also achieve very good results if you are able to design and organize it well.
The great advantage of small gardens is that they can be very welcoming, something that will be achieved much more easily than in the case of having a large one. As a disadvantage we can find that designing it is a challenge, not easy, since you have to make the most of all the space so that it is perfect, since any mistake could spoil the view of the entire garden.
Designing a Small Garden
It is important that you sit calmly to think about the design, the best trick to be able to achieve a perfect design. The first thing when starting with the design is to be clear about how you are going to distribute each space, what elements you want to have in each of them, the type of plants you are going to grow and how you want to decorate it. All this influences the final result and the way it is organized, so test on paper until you find the result you like the most.
Always choose quality over very low prices. The garden will last you “a lifetime”, so it is worth making an investment in quality materials for both the lawn and the plants, decorative elements, constructions, etc. Do not put very large trees as there is little space and when they grow they could create a rather oppressive environment, it is better to put specimens that will not take up much.
A good option
Paths are a fantastic option for garden decoration but the truth is that in small ones they do not look very good as they take up a lot of space that you can allocate to other things. Do them only if they are essential to be able to go from one place to another and you want it to be with a path.
A trick to making a short garden look long is that the width has to be wider at the beginning and narrow as you go, which will increase the perspective. If you want it to appear wider, include prominent horizontal lines to create that effect. Making several levels, such as a small terrace on a deck, gives a greater feeling of spaciousness.
