If you have a huge garden, you can do quite a bit with it – you could create your very own amazing space for entertaining your loved ones, have a safe space for your kids to play, or even just a place for you to enjoy a green-fingered hobby and relax. Whatever you’re thinking of doing with your garden, we’re going to give you some advice here that will help you to get it right.
Come Up With A Plan
Start by coming up with a plan by thinking about how you will use your garden. With a large garden, you can stand to create different sections for your different needs. Call these garden zones, and you can use them for playing, planting, relaxing, etc. Make sure you consider your budget and how much time you actually have to maintain the garden. It might be a good idea to invest in a Gator utility vehicle if you have a lot of land and want to cut down on your maintenance time.
Create Paths
You can add structure and shape to a large garden by adding paths to your design. Paths can neatly break up your landscaping if you have a large expanse, and then garden arches added to this can give a ‘secret garden’ feel.
Finding The Perfect Garden Furniture
When you have a large garden, you can choose furniture to fit that is all shapes, sizes, and materials. Larger dining sets are obviously a good idea, and bistro sets can give an outdoor restaurant feel if you like that vibe. You probably want to choose something that’s weatherproof so that you don’t have to replace your furniture too often. Unusual seating can give you somewhere great to relax or read a book, such as a hammock or swinging chair.
Light it Up
All areas could be under lit when it gets dark in a large space, so create a design that will keep your space safe whatever the lighting is like. Illuminate paths especially, and focus on functional lighting first. Then you can focus on the more decorative options to bring a fun feel, like string lights and lanterns.
Create a Mini Playground
You could have a garden zone for kids, complete with playhouses, trampolines, and swing sets. Great for those with children or grandchildren.
Bring Structure With Trees and Shrubs
Stunning plants, trees, and shrubs can bring more structure to your space. Think about what you want them to do – provide shade or fruit, or even to stop your neighbours being able to see into your garden? Then think about how the roots will grow and ensure it won’t impact your home or garden negatively.
For now, if you wish, you can just concentrate on maintaining your garden while you think carefully about how you want to use the space. How much time do you have to plan and maintain the garden, and how much money do you have to invest? Use your answers to give you a guide.
