Creating a Unique Garden Experience

Making a unique space in your backyard or elsewhere is simple because every space is different. Whether your space is a thin sliver of grass or a wide open lawn that needs to be brought down to size, making a unique garden experience only requires a little time and dedication (and possibly the assistance of a qualified company like PIcasso Pavers).

Following a few simple guidelines, you too can create a relaxing space that is not only visually engaging, but fuctional as well.

1. Creating Individual Garden Spaces

For the sake of functionality and appearence a garden should be broken up into spaces based on their use. Programming your garden can be a simple as choosing a place for patio furniture or coordinating a grilling area next to a pool - it really depends on the backyard. Traffic patterns is also a good indicator of how your spaces should be arranged. Using planting material and hardscape to deliniate areas gives your garden or backyard a sense of order.

Picasso offers an array of hardscape elements that can help you in your quest to make that special garden space.

 
 

Some of this backyard's lawn space was reclaimed to create a nice seating area and place for patio furniture using concrete pavers..

 
By using clay brick, this home owner was able to make an interesting compliment to the blooming azelea bushes and seperate their garden into areas for traffic and areas for sitting, like near the fire pit.
 
 
       
 

1. Right Plant, Right Place

Carving out a space in your yard for planting is a must for creating a fuctional and beautiful garden. A large swath of well placed foliage creates continuity and is pleasing to the eye. Whether you are an avid gardener or a oft-gone snow bird. there are many landscape options that allow for your garden to fit your needs. Proper planning is key to make sure that your plants are placed in the right location for optimum growing capacity.

Sometimes just a few well placed plants can have a huge impact on a garden. Here hardscaping was integrated with existing foliage to create a more naturalistic setting.
 
     
 
  In shady areas, certain groundcovers can be great for covering area where sun-needy grass cannot grow.  
 
A compilation of planting and scultural elements bring a personal and unique character to this backyard.
     
 
 
 
When seen together, mass plantings can be like one large painting in your landscape. Choosing the right plants for each unique property is key in making one cohesive composition.
