Hello World! Welcome Friends! Modern communities are evolving in an exciting way, especially as more people opt for custom homes. However, custom homes require a lot of attention, making it hard for homeowners to focus on other things. Nonetheless, as you focus on ensuring that the interior of your custom home reflects your style, you should also ensure that your garden design reflects your interests and personality. Outlined below are gardening ideas to complement your recently finished custom home.
1. Evaluate the Available Space Before Choosing Suitable Plants
To achieve a beautiful front and backyard, you should first analyze the available space for gardening. If you have a lot of room left around your house, large fruit trees, such as apples, mangoes, plums, and oranges, are excellent options. Shrubs, such as strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, can suit such an open landscape.
However, with limited space around your house and pergola, small trees and plants can add color to your landscape, such as roses and small flowers. Evaluate the space in your garden with respect to the lengths to which your plants can grow.
2. Get Creative With Potted Plants
While you should consult gardening experts to design your landscape, you can get creative with DIY potted plants for your garden. To design a beautiful and useful home garden, DIY potting can bring forth some personal touch and flair to your space. Fortunately, container gardening requires a few items. You can use flower beds, terracotta pots, or baskets to plant your flowers. You can make these pots and containers using cement, broken ceramics, and other cheap materials.
3. Use the Area Around Pergolas and Garden Sheds Effectively
You should maximize any recreational structures or fencing in your garden by using the space around them. For instance, most modern homes have garden sheds and pergolas in their backyards. If you have such in your home, grow some climbers along the wooden frames, ceiling, and beams of these structures. The combination of green colors against the natural wood provides the much-needed outdoor flair. The same applies to wooden decks and trellis. Climbers surround these structures, adding a lot of vigor and color.
4. Add Extraordinary Aesthetic Elements
Your backyard provides limitless opportunities for homeowners to explore various garden accessories and aesthetic elements. If you’ve been desiring water features or natural art, you can explore these options creatively to add that wow factor. Some extraordinary items to anesthetize your garden include a duck pond, bird feeder, outdoor waterfall, gazebo, and ornate fountain. Choose one or several items and place them creatively to create a focal point.
5. Mix Indigenous Plants with Vegetative Varieties
With the heavy pollution going on, you can use your garden to purify the surrounding air. Growing succulents and indigenous plants can purify the air around your home and promote circulation. These plants absorb carbon dioxide and reduce the concentration of pollutants in the air.
