Planning Your Front Or Backyard Garden Design

By Phil Caxton

One should never consider gardening as a casual affair be it your front garden or the backyard garden. A random approach will never help in getting a well synchronized look and hence it becomes necessary for you to put in a little effort to position the plants, trees and shrubs in a particular manner. Whether you want the garden to have a wild look or a synchronized look, both need a little bit of attention on a regular basis. While planting the sapling think of the right place first. It may grow into a big tree later, so plant it in such a way that there is sufficient space around it.

Position the plants well:

Positioning the sapling is very important, as once it grows big, uprooting becomes difficult. For proper development and growth, every plant requires its very own space. The plant can face a slow death if it has to scrounge for space as it may get interlocked with other plants during its growth. Defying the natural foliage and growth of the plant by confining it to a limited area or containing it unnaturally cannot get worse. Some trees have to be the focal point in the garden and hence have to be planted accordingly.

One indication of a poorly maintained garden is the improper placement of a shrub or a tree. Growth of some trees needs to be restricted, while in some other cases it may not be required. To enhance the decorum of the outdoor as well as the indoor garden you have to ensure that plants are placed well as they are able to thrive well in a proper surrounding. Trees and plants in the outdoor garden should be planted away from the house.

Mindful while choosing plants:

Some trees have a strong rooting system and could damage the underground drainage system as well as the foundation of the house. Such trees should be planted at a suitable distance from the house. As far as indoor gardens are concerned, they too need to be planned well. Be mindful while choosing of plants instead of randomly picking them up and regretting latter. Depending upon the size of the outdoor garden you can select the type of plants and trees of varying heights and shapes as they only help in enhancing the overall look of the garden. Your garden is one area where you seek peace and relaxation, so ensure to plan it accordingly. - 31813
