Garden Design Layout

Posted on May 11, 2024 by msw blog

I have plants picked out but don’t know how to design a layout for the best visual impact. what is your advice?

  1. Plant in mass, as this approach has the most visual impact.
  2. Group like plants together.
  3. Plant more of each variety, and fewer varieties in total.
  4. Make sure to include trees, shrubs, and evergreens in your plan. Single specimens offer a place for your eyes to rest.
  5. Consider adding sculptural elements like a path or a well-placed boulder.

    I have a guy coming over next year to redo my front and back yard and make it beautiful! I’m going to use Little Rocks instead of mulch this time. I don’t know what to do with this grass. With both of my trees gone out front and out back, I see no chance of beautiful green yards. 😰

      Installing rocks is wonderful. I had the grass professional ripped out and blue/gray river rock installed. It is gorgeous, but it can be costly, and a logistical nightmare. I have a ton of thoughts on this, but I will try to keep it brief: check rock quarries over big box stories, get rock samples there are a ton of sizes, ask about pallet price vs bagged prices, ask about drainage and installation (some quarries will install).  I went with the dump truck method. Luckily, we were replacing the fence at the same time. To add color to your yard, I would suggest oversized colorful ceramic pots with perennials.
