Rue Sherwood Landscape Design, LLC

Rue Sherwood Landscape Design An entire yard was redesigned with enduring materials and varied plantings. Stones on site were repurposed into solid walls to create beds for new gardens that are rich in color & texture and provide extended multi-seasonal interest. New bluestone walkways with granite steps and cobble edging create a welcome entry to the front door and back deck. Low voltage landscape lighting is incorporated into the plantings to gently illuminate the front walk. Perimeter plantings offer visual interest at the woodland edge and screening from the street.

Greenwood Design Associates, LLC

Nepeta 'Walker's Low' tangles with asters and penstemon to create a cascading effect over a low garden wall. I was invited to do the planting design for this compact hillside project after the hardscape was complete. The home is situated on a corner lot, and a number of very narrow beds and stepped planting arrows wrap the house in a "C" shape. The homeowner was looking for plantings that would be soft and inviting for her children, and welcome birds, bees, and butterflies to the garden. Kelly Greenwood

Chelsea in Bloom

User

A miniature garden brimming with white flowers in varying shades and species sits outside Sumosan Twiga contained in a large verdigris copper planter. With inspiration drawn from the renowned White Garden at Sissinghurst Castle in Kent; ivory, pearl and alabaster hues pop against the dark restaurant facade and reference the Royal Wedding taking place during the same month as the Chelsea in Bloom festival. Rebecca Newnham’s ‘White Lotus’ appears to float amongst the blooms. The imperfect, patinated finish of the bespoke planter represents the murky aquatic conditions from which the Nelumbo nucifera (Sacred Lotus) emerges and unfolds, with its pure and perfect petals intact - a symbol of love conquering all.

Partial Sun Garden Design Ideas with a Container Garden

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.
