Garden and landscape design is a big undertaking and one that requires a certain amount of planning and forethought if you’re to achieve what you want without breaking the budget.
There’s no such thing as too much research when embarking on renovation projects of this kind – and if you’re looking for a bit of inspiration at the moment, what about checking out the Garden of the Future, which was recently unveiled at FutureScape 2024, the largest landscape expo and trade event in the UK.
In terms of features, the garden itself includes the likes of garden buildings, hot tubs, plant pots, enriched turf, a Kamado oven (a Japanese ceramic barbecue that needs far less charcoal than a traditional BBQ) and lots more.
Here are just a couple of the garden features that you might like to include in your own outdoor spaces at home.
Solar fencing
Now, your garden fences don’t just have a privacy function, they can also help produce energy for your home, making them ideal for anyone who wants to prioritise sustainability while renovating.
Native enriched turf
If you want lawned areas that actively help improve local biodiversity, enriched turf could be a brilliant option. The turf itself is made up of native UK wildflowers, as well as annual and perennial planting choices, creating a beautifully natural look and feel for your garden.
Gravel stabilisation
Practicality needs to be married with beautiful aesthetics when it comes to your garden and if you’re keen to have gravel laid down throughout the space, a gravel stabilisation mat or grid would come in very handy indeed.
This will stop the gravel from spreading, protecting your investment and ensuring that your gardens continue to look lovely, no matter how much use they get.
