Folienpool mit Fitnessbereich

Garten Bitters - Gärtner von Eden

Dieses Projekt ist ein perfekter Mix aus moderner und naturnaher Gartengestaltung. Der Folienpool und das angrenzende Gartenhaus, in dem die Fitnessgeräte und die Pooltechnik ihren Platz gefunden haben, stehen für die Modernität des Gartens. Auch die niedergelassene Holzterrasse bringt diesen Flaire mit ein. Das Biotop lockt verschiedenste Lebewesen in den Garten und am Rande können die Bauherr*innen im Strandkorb den Geräuschen der Natur lauschen. Der gesamte Senkgarten ist ein Erlebnis wert, denn auf den verschiedenen Ebenen gibt es immer etwas zu entdecken.

Backyard Retreat

Daniel Contelmo Architects

This property was developed in the 1950’s with a relatively bare landscape. The rear yard was nothing special, but had some privacy. The owners set out to create mini gardens around the entire house. A koi pond was added first. Over time, plants were added that began creating pockets of spaces that gave each area a room-like feel. With each hole dug, rock was removed from it to install the pond or install a plant. The rock in the ground became the same rock used around the pond and used for stone walls. There is sun, shade, privacy, and the sound of water that stimulates the senses. The latest section of the master plan was to develop a more formal area (seen from the living room) with the diagonal blue stone set into the lawn. A picket fence separates it from a vegetable garden. A new fire pit is nestled among a row of hemlocks and rimmed shrubs. Photo by Daniel Contelmo Jr.

Blending Old & New, Godalming

Vanessa Morgan Garden Design

The project brief was to re-design a tired existing pond that had been leaking, and to incorporate a new water feature. The client wanted something different from the quite traditional look they had before, so we used corten steel to give the new pond a really crisp finish and to create a stepped water feature where the water very gently cascades over the edge of each level into the main body of water. Opposite the water feature we designed a floating deck area that catches the morning sun, and where we wanted to create a feeling of being wrapped up in nature - so the decking is surrounded by herbaceous planting and pond plants. The new pond needed to include fish (we created a holding pond for the existing fish and re-located them temporarily) and is a real destination in the garden as you walk down from the house. One of the challenges with this site is that the pond is set into a bank - so one side is much lower than the other. To manage this transition in the landscape, we created tiered planting beds that wrap around the length of the pond and provide access into the water for wildlife via a pebble beach area. We also re-designed a parterre which had sadly become a victim of box blight - using a combination of Hebe and Pittosporum within a framework of Yew, to update this feature.

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!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
