Garden Design Tips.
It is great fun to plan out your own designer garden. You can design the perfect garden to meet your needs! People will take great effort to personlise and create a unique look to their home, but often the garden is left to follow a standard design plan.
The following brief guides will hopefully provide you with some useful starting points for designing your own garden.
Making a Flower Bed:
Always a classic element to add to any garden design, and they are simple to make as well.
1 Mark out the shape of the flowerbed using some string and a few canes. You can easily adjust the shape until you are happy with it.
2 Dig out the shape carefully taking out the turf sections. Removing 2.5cm (1in) of topsoil. This can all be added to your compost heaps to rot down.
3 Clear away any large roots, stones or other debris from the flowerbed planting area.
4 Dig over the area to break up the soil. Pull the soil away from the edge towards the centre.
5 Once the soil is thoroughly broken, to a depth of around 12" or more, you should add rotted manure or compost, to provide a rich growing environment for any plants.
6 Choose your bedding plants and plant them according to the growing instructions supplied. Consider the location of the flowerbed, the amount of sunlight it receives and other key factors when choosing the range of plants.
