Garden Designs for the Soul
June 15th, 2010 , by admin 98 Comments Already »Outdoor living areas are lovely and good for the soul. They can become our private sanctuaries away from the stresses of the day to day grind or they can simply be a place entertain others.
Some people simply enjoying sitting in their outdoor living areas while others love to plant seeds and watch flowers and bushes grow. No matter what your outdoor living area is used for, chances are you love having a beautiful garden and appreciate what it offers you.
A great looking outdoor living area that is designed well is a wonderful investment because it adds value to your home or commercial property and makes it much more desirable if you choose to sell at some point in the future.
Often, it is very difficult to design your outdoor living area because it is hard to find good ideas. You may know some small outdoor living designs that you like but you might find it a challenge to know where to start. You don’t have to make radical changes to your outdoor living areas and gardens in order to improve them because small and innovative use of focal points can make all the difference in the world.
One thing to consider is putting in a water feature. Water features can make the perfect focal point in the middle of a rock or flower outdoor living and they also provide birds with a natural bathing and drinking source. A fountain can be as elaborate or as simple as you desire. For the small outdoor living, building a small environment in one corner that consists of a sloping hill made of stone with a fountain toward the top, can provide a lovely little oasis of your very own.
Small outdoor gardens can also be as simple as planting your flowers in rows, according to colour and type. Once grown, you will have created a very dramatic effect of contrasting colours. Use your creativity and plant the flowers following the contours of your flower bed for a more integrated look.
Be sure to plant flowers that have similar lifespans so that all of the flowers last equally as long. You could add a few portable solar powered lamps that sit on spikes. You need to only push the lamps into the ground. In the evenings the warm glowing lights illuminating the flowers and plants will offer a very welcoming and serene feeling.
One of the most popular types of small outdoor living designs involves putting a small wooden corner deck into one of the corners of your outdoor living. You can choose one with a railing or without and by adding a table and a couple of chairs, you have created a nice place to enjoy your morning coffee. Corner decks can be purchased as kits and it takes just an hour or two to complete the job yourself. If you have a nicely designed outdoor living area, you will feel good about your entire home, as the outdoor living is a nature-inspired living space located just outside your door.

Landscape Architect Ideas For Your Outdoor Environment
June 15th, 2010 , by admin 70 Comments Already »If you want to deliver the best landscape architect design for your garden consulting a landscape architect is a great option. The home garden landscape is a canvas upon which to paint a picture. The design ideas should be timeless and fashionable.
Unfortunately, many new home gardens today because of their look and feel can reduce the value of your home, rather than gaining value in years to come.
So what do you do?
Number 1, you want your landscape architect to plan a garden that supports the architecture of your home and compliments the architectural style.
Number 2, to come up with a garden design that suits your specific needs and lifestyle. A good landscape architect will have the skills to combine these two elements and come up with a winning design.
It’s a great idea to have a clear idea of what you want before engaging the services of a landscape architect. It will save you both a lot of time…
Then, discuss your ideas with them, for instance what will work and what wont, what will best suit the style of your home and add value to your home. Get a clear idea of what materials can be used, what styles can be used in the design, ball-park figures and approximate prices and the general design concepts your garden should have.
And you should never let an architectural designer have the final say in your designs! after all your the one paying and living with the end result!
When it comes to selecting plants, select plants that reflect the best of the seasons – e.g. azaleas in winter, roses and annuals in Spring to Autumn.
Talk about the benefits of using landscape lighting – for both functionality (security etc) and to highlight areas of interest in your garden. Your garden can look remarkably different at night with imaginative use of light and shadows.
Always make sure you see similar examples of your architectural landscaper’s work. It’s a good idea to get the street addresses of previous work so that you can drive paest and get a feel for the designs and don’t just go by photos alone.
Make sure, when you sign any contracts, you understand the costs including labor and materials, as well as the architect fees.
If you like, you can coordinate and include your own sub-contracting. For example you may buy the plants at a better price, or some of the grunt work yourself.
And don’t make the mistake of assuming that landscape architects are only useful on larger projects. Quite often Landscape Architects love doing smaller projects because they can be fun and fast to do.
And finally, try to remember that not all landscape architects are the same. You actually need a degree to officially call yourself a landscape architect so ask to see some qualifications. no point paying specialist fees when all you might be getting is a low level design.
But most importantly any working relationship is based on trust and integrity. If you have a good feel about the person designing your outdoor environment, go with them.
