Unique Lanscaping Ideas pt 2

terracegardenHere are some more unique landscaping ideas for when you are dealing with unique spaces.

Landscaping for Terraces

From a secluded sitting area situated near to the master suite, to an expansive patio intended for extensive outdoor entertaining, a garden terrace is a beautiful landscaping technique capable of creating a unique harmony between your indoor living space and your outdoor living space. You can use a wide variety of different colors, patterns and materials that are capable of complimenting your overall choices in design. You can also add a much greater level of functionality to your terrace and your patio simply by integrating covered areas and other custom touches such as railing to the space to really make it yours.

Landscaping Tips for Smaller Yards

When you have a limited amount of outdoor space, that does not mean that you are going to be limited when it comes to choosing design ideas for your space. Small yards have actually become extremely common, and so there are a wide variety of different ways that you can work with a tiny amount of space in order to create a beautiful and stunning country garden. Here are some examples of what you can do when working with a smaller yard:

  • You can integrate in outdoor accessories that are proportionate. A large sized garden pond may completely overpower a smaller yard, leaving a tiny amount of space for living, but what if you implemented a much smaller but still functional pond in this space instead?
  • You may also want to include smaller tree varieties such as ornamental trees and fruit trees in place of larger shade trees. If you do want a specific tree variety that grows too large for your small space, what you may consider doing is container planting it, where the container would limit the root growth, limiting the growth of the tree to a size that you can handle.
  • There are certain colors that you can choose in your landscaping elements that will make your overall yard appear as if it were larger. Using bright and open colors is a great way to make your landscape seem as if it is much larger than it actually is.
  • There are also certain textures that you can implement in order to create a better feeling of space and openness.
  • You can also opt for slender types of fencing that creates an open sort of feeling rather than a claustrophobic one.
  • Finally, you can choose plants that grow in a vertical manner rather than a horizontal one in order to add more dimension to your small space. Examples include vines and climbing plants.

Implement a few or all of these techniques in combination in order to create your own functional country garden landscape no matter how large or how small the space is that you have to work with.
