Home Garden: Materials Needed for your Beautiful Small Home Gardens

Small garden design ideas are not easy to find. A small garden design is different from other garden designs. Space plays an important role in small garden design ideas. The garden should not seem very populated but at the same time it should provide a complete whole to the home.

A small home garden should not be a separate entity but act as a complete unit with the house. Garden design ideas for small area generally aim to dress up the house more than formally plant trees. It can also be a peaceful area where you can rest during the evenings. Since space is a constraint, you can make the use of curves to make the area look bigger. Curves made in a series of networks make the small space garden look bigger. All you need to do is connect those curves. Parallel curves can also be used and they help to give the impression that the space of the garden is larger than it actually is.

Materials Needed for your Beautiful Small Home Gardens

You can start to think about the materials you will use for the hard landscaping - block paving, slabs, natural rock, water features and so on. A trip to your local garden centre can help you here. Then you can start to think about the plants. Take a good look at the garden, ask yourself where are the shaded areas, which areas receive full sun, are there any areas that are wetter or drier than others? Mark these on the sketch (coloured pencils are good for that). This can help you to research the plants for the garden, it is no good buying plants that require shaded spots if there are none, although as you become more experienced and adventurous you can use planting and other techniques to create different conditions in different parts of the garden.
