We all love to make the most out of our outdoor living area and if you are planning to revamp your garden, there is much to consider. Most people prefer to calculate a budget, which gives them a figure for the landscape gardening contractor, and with that in mind, here are a few creative ways you can have a secluded area in your garden.
- Rows Of Conifers – If you place a row of conifers on each side of the terrace, this provides seclusion with a natural touch. You could place the trees in large pots and your local nursery would have a fine selection of evergreen trees and shrubs and if you don’t have the space for a row of small trees, you can place them individually to provide shade and a little privacy. It is nice to be surrounded by nature and whether trees or shrubs, you can design a special area that is shielded by trees.
- Living Screens– These can comprise of timber trellis with climbing plants to create a natural partition. Along with this, you can create a natural ambience by adding in some wooden outdoor furniture Melbourne homes and residences in other cities around the world go for. Some homeowners affix flowers and hanging plants onto a brick wall and over a period of time, the greenery eventually covers the wall and with regular shaping and trimming, you can integrate the screen into the layout.
- Artificial Grass– You can create a very homely area at the end of your terrace, which will be an extension of the lawn and artificial grass can be cut to fit and it looks and feels like the real thing. You could cover one wall with artificial grass, adding colour and depth and it makes for a good backdrop for your secluded area.
- Bali Hut – We have all seen the stunning designs of Bali huts. While a top-quality hut would not be cheap, it does give you great enclosed area for some privacy that is both stylish and very functional. Of course, you do need a space of at least 25sqm and you can build a pathway that leads from the Bali hut to the terrace. It is important to choose a hut that is hand-crafted by local experts. With the right protection, your new relaxation space will be prefect.
- Retractable Roof– If you ordered a custom-made retractable roof, this would certainly give you a quiet, shaded area for rest and relaxation and there are several designs, either fixing to a wall of the house, or even a stand-alone cantilever style, which does not require a wall. If the unit is electrically powered, you can use a remote top control how much shade you let into your area. If you would like a quote for a retractable roof, search with Google to find a local supplier.
If you are in need of some garden design inspiration, talk to a local landscape gardener who can give you a few ideas and when everything is agreed, they can quote for the project.
