Tropical Planting in Progress

Wild Wood Studio

A small urban tropical oasis provides an intensely private entertaining space that is stunning to look nat all year round. Solid wood floors, a bespoke curved bench nestle amongst the architectural planting sunken out of site. A fire pit adds a touch of warmth on chillier London nights. Oversized planters are home to trees and shrubs that frame the view from inside.

greencube garden and landscape design

We have designed a focal point fireplace within a tiny space, breaking up the overbearing retaining wall and draping the planting down over the wall to soften. In small gardens we often use large specimen plants and sculptural oversized pots; being so bold in such as a small space really works. The existing retaining wall has been dressed and divided to make it less overbearing and oppressive. We have painted the fence black further emphasising the plants. We have included some uplighting behind the large pots to backlight as well as under the trees to make this a very appealing garden at night. We have set a bio-ethanol firebowl within the burnt orange-painted fireplace, creating a focus point. Bold leafy planting includes Fatsia, Erybotria and Dicksonia.

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!
