From spa-inspired spaces to dedicated deluxe dining areas to wildlife havens and more, designing the perfect garden that suits all of your desires can be difficult to get just so without the right expertise.
Whether you’re looking to undertake an overhaul of your garden or you hope to upgrade smaller areas, you will want to make sure that you have the best professionals on board to help you design and execute your new outdoor spaces to the highest level.
If you’re seeking some inspiration for your gorgeous garden upgrade, then look no further as we narrow down some of the more popular projects that you can undertake in your garden to create a luxurious retreat that you’ll long to spend all of your spare time in.
Sumptuous seating
For every garden to be enjoyed to its fullest, there needs to be an array of comfortable seating to invite residents and guests to recline and relax within their gorgeous new surroundings.
From corner sofa sets in space saving gardens to egg chairs that invite you to sit in and read a book in all day and hammocks that you’ll be longing to get 40 winks in to daybeds to recline on, and so many more options, you’re simply spoilt for choice. To get some inspiration on dining sets, chairs, outdoor heaters and so much more, take look at the likes of Keplin Group and start planning your garden’s aesthetic today.
Blossoming blooms
From romantic pink-hued plants to brightly-coloured blooms, making sure you have some colour and life in your garden is hugely important and will put a smile on your face every time you lay eyes on your blossoming plants.
When planning which plants to buy, consider how green-fingered you are or would like to be, the positioning of the sun in your garden – as this will indicate what you need to buy and where to put them – and whether you want perennials or are happy with flowers that bloom for one year only.
Kids’ zone
If you have children, then you’ll likely be looking for ways to keep them entertained safely while outside, no matter their age. Youngsters will need a safe space to play, learn to ride a bike and grow into various outdoor hobbies, so consider this when planning your garden refurb. A soft play area, trampoline, paddling pool, climbing frame and swing set are good places to start, while a big patch of grass – flat where possible – will be ideal for sports.
Consider installing a badminton net or even a dedicated tennis court for budding Wimbledon stars, and don’t forget about shade and secure fencing to keep little ones safe.
Relaxing retreat
Every garden should have relaxation and recreation areas and if you’re determined to make this a priority in your renovation, then don’t be afraid to aim high and go for what you want. If you’re looking to go all out, you could install a swimming pool with a retractable roof so that it can be enjoyed year round. Health enthusiasts will surely want to include a barrel sauna and ice bath to get the most of their health benefits, while very little will beat having an outdoor hot tub to relax in day or night.
Dining deluxe
There’s something quite serene about dining outside in the summer evenings, shaking off the day’s heat and enjoying your outdoor space or inviting your friends and family over for a summer barbecue or pizza party. You don’t have to be a keen chef or food fanatic to enjoy outdoor cooking as you’ll find that barbecuing and creating your own pizzas aren’t that difficult with a little practice.
Installing an outdoor kitchen with the latest and greatest barbecue and pizza oven will up your summer dining no end, while an outdoor bar is sure to impress. Keep your bar well stocked with plenty of ice available for parties and consider setting up your very own kitchen garden with vegetables and herb to add to your dishes. Dining domes are another great addition if you want to eat in all weathers and stylish dining tale set ups are a must when planning out your garden update.
Something for the wildlife
Your garden will be teeming with wildlife and so any renovations or upgrades you make should take into consideration what visitors you currently have, or want to have in your outdoor sanctuary. Birds, hedgehogs, insects, fish and frogs can be well looked after with ponds; bird feeders, tables, houses and baths; hedgehog houses; bug hotels and the like, while wild areas will be a welcome spot for insects.
You can also choose plants that are friendly to bees – lavender, coneflower and crocus are great choices – and butterflies – aster, verbena, and again, lavender – to encourage these pollinators into your garden.
