After a successful bathroom renovation, the customer asked us to design a new garden for her. Through the design process, we offered her a lot of options giving her the best garden tailored to her. She liked our Design and thusly gave us the project. As you can see the garden has been relatively untouched for some time and is need of a new design.

Dentro de la jardinería de nuestro territorio, el Jardín Mediterráneo es sin duda el estilo más adecuado ecológica y edafoclimáticamente hablando. Tal es su idoneidad, que asentó las bases para otras variantes, como por ejemplo la contundente Xerojardinería californiana: este nuevo concepto de jardinería se caracteriza por hacer un uso eficiente del agua, pues tiene origen en un movimiento social de concienciación e investigación en los Estados Unidos como consecuencia de una grave sequía que asoló California en 1977. Aunque cada estilo tiene una filosofía independiente, comparten ideología y normas básicas cuando indagas en profundidad. Los principios básicos de la Xerojardinería pueden recogerse en siete apartados fundamentales: planificación y diseño adecuados (haciendo hincapié en la definición de hidrozonas y de un mínimo de áreas sombreadas), sustrato adecuado, correcta selección de plantas, practicidad en las zonas de césped, sistemas eficientes de riego, uso de mulching y mantenimiento adecuado. A parte, las características diferenciadoras del Jardín Mediterráneo, es decir, sus fundamentos, quedan definidos por siete bloques: nivelación estricta del terreno, plantación bajo el nivel del suelo, creación de grandes zonas de sombra, empleo del arbusto, utilización de plantas autóctonas y naturalizadas, tratamiento del agua y diferenciación entre el jardín y el medio exterior. Habitualmente se tiene la concepción de que estas tipologías de jardines no tienen tanta presencia estética comparados con el estilo paisajista inglés, lo que no hace más que evidenciar una grave carencia en cuanto a cultura botánica de los países mediterráneos, puesto que contamos con la mayor biodiversidad vegetal de toda Europa aún por explotar. Debemos aprender a disfrutar de los cambios estacionales de nuestras praderas e interiorizar que un uso restrictivo del agua no implica renunciar al color o las texturas y reconocer nuestros verdes.

Enjoyment of the internal garden isn't restricted to the ground floor. The upper floor of the home has a planting area, and given time the upper floor plants will extend to the garden below. The benefits of an indoor garden are many - improving air quality and temperature, as well as emotional wellbeing. Passing through this space regularly, the family will reap the rewards of this space.

Modern Garden with Decorative Stones Ideas and Designs

A beautifully designed modern garden is as important as the emphasis we place on the designs of our interiors. After all, our grounds (however modest) frame our homes and contribute to first impressions not only of our houses, but also of the households within. Options for garden designs can be as elaborate or low maintenance as your lifestyle and preferences permit – consider both your aspirations for how it should look and how much time you can invest in garden maintenance. Consulting a gardener or landscape designer will ensure you have a garden that suits your lifestyle, the local climate and soil conditions. But don’t forget that with Houzz your first stop can be collecting images of garden ideas and designs you love in order to inspire your garden plans and potentially share them with a landscape gardening professional.

How do I come up with a modern front garden design?

The priority for a front garden is kerb appeal. Begin by considering the area immediately around and leading up to your front door. You may want to opt for front garden designs that blend well with the style of your home – for example, abundant foliage and flowerbeds will perfectly complement a period property, whereas man-made materials, geometric shapes and contrasting textures are great ideas for a contemporary garden design. Even if your front garden is a small space, keep it tidy – if you have more space, make the most of it with garden ideas and features such as a manicured lawn, gravel driveway, water feature or garden fencing. If you don’t have the time or commitment to devote to gardening, then neatly pruned hedges, statement paving, hanging baskets, garden benches and outdoor lighting are all decorative, low maintenance garden ideas for your modern front garden design.

How should I design my modern back garden?

Back gardens typically offer more space than front garden designs and serve a more recreational purpose, so it’s important to know how you want to spend time in your garden before you design it in order to build in the features that you will enjoy. If you love relaxing in the garden and dining al fresco, think about patios, decking, garden furniture and BBQs. For the more horticulturally-inclined, incorporate flower beds, greenhouses or vegetable garden designs. Your landscape gardening professional can help you install structures such as sheds, pergolas and gazebos that complement your garden design, and artfully-placed garden ideas such as lawn edging and lighting will add definition to your chosen design.

How do I create a low maintenance garden?

The great news is, gardens aren’t exclusively for the green-fingered. Whether you’re not horticulturally-inclined or simply don’t have the time for a bit of landscape gardening, you can still have a modern garden design that looks the way you want by making some smart design choices. While many of us favour low maintenance gardens like urban gardens, roof terraces and patio gardens, lovers of greenery don’t need to sacrifice grass for paving slabs. Whatever you want from your garden, there are a variety of gardening solutions that can be built in to make life easier. For example, labour intensive features such as vegetable patches, greenhouses and flower beds can be optimised with an automatic irrigation system. These can be offset with fuss-free garden ideas such as hard landscaping, including gravel, paving or decking, and hard-wearing evergreens that require minimal upkeep. You might even consider replacing your garden fencing with slow growing hedging, which can be maintained less regularly than wooden fence panels. If having a lawn is important, there are different types of grasses in varying degrees of durability and maintenance. You may choose to take a more relaxed approach to your lawn – “wild” garden designs can have great charm if the grasses and flowers are chosen carefully. If you prefer a manicured lawn, it’s a good idea to invest in a “mulching” lawn mower that will recycle clippings and remove the need for cleaning up. Finally, there isn’t a more low maintenance garden lawn than artificial grass which can look highly realistic and keep your garden looking green. Garden ornaments are a great way to add interest to your low maintenance garden design – go for smart garden ideas such as solar garden lights which are both decorative and functional.
