10 Tips for a Beautiful and Customized Garden Design

Garden designing refers to the process of drawing and creating a map of a garden and planting of a landscape. Until recently, the design of a garden and landscape was simply drawn on a piece of paper, but today, specialized software is being introduced for that very purpose in the marketplace. A trained professional, with the expertise of Seattle Garden Design, with their extensive experience and unparalleled knowledge, is here to bring your yard into life, from an ordinary yard into a stunning one.

Below is a list of 10 key tips for a beautiful and customized garden design:

• The size, shape and style of your property are the first things to consider in the initial garden landscape design. Your house and the landscape design of the garden should blend together, not clash with each other. The goal of the landscape design is to enhance not only the existing yard but also the property itself. There should be a continuous and effortless flow with the details, textures and colors between the garden and the home.

• Having a plan in mind is the key when designing a garden landscape. In order to prevent the garden, and specifically the trees from turning disorderly and obstructing your view, the height and width restrictions of the garden must be taken into consideration. With Seattle Garden Design, you will receive a thorough analysis of possibilities and restrictions of your garden in order to avoid that from occurring.

• The type of plants that you want in your garden must have the correct soil conditions in the landscape design in order to be a success. You also need to pay very close attention to the drainage requirements when designing your garden. Inefficient, improper or infrequent draining will cause your garden to fail from the beginning. 

• A successful garden landscape design must take into account the growth of the plants. The variation in the sun and shade throughout the day will affect the garden and how the landscape design may look over time. As a result, plants that were initially thought to be left in a sunny area may find themselves in the shade. 

• Having a central or focal point in the yard around which the landscape design is built is a crucial element of a great garden landscape design. This can be a tree, an exotic or tropical plant or even a colorful or unique item.

• Having curbs in your garden landscape design is important, as it will provide it with an extra appeal. The front of the garden is what the outside world will see even though you may be spending the majority of your time in the back of your yard. Since nature does not always work in straight lines, it is highly advisable to add curves into the design of your garden. Additionally, a landscape design comprised of straight lines and curbs will not only enhance the look and appeal of your garden, but will also increase the value of your property overall. We here at Seattle Landscape Design will show you how to best maximize your property’s value through a stunning garden design.

• A key factor in designing your garden landscape to take into account is the future requirements of your family. Families with children should keep that in mind as each person in the family is going to have a different usage of the garden.

• Lighting, both natural and artificial is one of the most crucial aspects of a landscape design, yet, it is often neglected. Lightning is a major component of any given garden landscape design as it affects the usage of the garden during both daytime and nighttime.

• A garden landscape design is not necessarily expensive, provided one is realistic about the costs involved as well as the desired outcome. To ensure that you have a realistic and achievable yet beautiful garden design, hiring a professional garden designer is paramount. With Seattle Garden Design, you have the peace of mind that you will be provided with a fair assessment of not just the costs of your specific project, but, most importantly, an idea of what is really possible and achievable in your yard.

• Last but definitely not least, it is highly recommended to have your garden landscape design built around your personality, desires and care requirements. This is your property and your garden, so go ahead and personalize it to your heart’s desire with the assistance of a trained professional garden designer such as Seattle Garden Design.
