Landscaping is often neglected or done in a hurry. And yet, it is an operation that requires a certain organization but also a lot of imagination. Here are 4 things to know about landscaping, which could help you a lot!
Many people think that the plans concern only the big works or the interior layout. And yet, this is all the more valid when we talk about designing an outdoor space. Indeed, the fact of proceeding by improvisation can easily mislead you.
For example, it may happen that you underestimate the available space, or conversely, that you overestimate it. Imagine for a second that your state-of-the-art teak garden furniture that you bought did not fit on the lawn where it was intended. You would then have wasted your quick money loan without even being able to enjoy your furniture!
We've all had crazy dreams about landscaping. Who hasn't dreamed of having a swimming pool in their garden to enjoy the beautiful summer days, a swing to remember our childhood with nostalgia, a barbecue area to spend evenings or Sundays outside, without forget the essential hammock to take a nap on weekend afternoons?
And yet, more often than not, we lack the space to carry out so many projects at once. If this concerns you, know that it is better to stick to your priorities. If you have young children, it may be best to dedicate a lawn to them with swing-type games. If you like to receive friends or family and you like barbecues, perhaps the garden area of rare plants can make room for a barbecue area?
The landscaping also involves the choice of furniture. It really depends on how you want your exterior to look. There are those who are satisfied with a few garden chairs and there are those who want a real garden furniture, capable of accommodating 5 people or more. You will have to pay particular attention to the material used.
Generally, garden furniture comes in a few key materials:wood, aluminum, steel and composite materials. The reason is simple:these materials are strong, light and easy to work with. But also and above all, these are materials that have a very high resistance to bad weather and to various attacks such as insects.
When we think of landscaping, we generally focus on furniture or accessories such as the barbecue or the swimming pool. And yet, there is one parameter that transcends the ambiance of an outdoor space:lighting.
The lights will allow you to give an unparalleled aesthetic dimension to your garden or terrace, especially for evenings spent outdoors. For example, projectors can illuminate the swimming pool, a beautiful plant, statues or other key decorative elements of your outdoor space. You can also use LED spotlights to delimit certain parts of your outdoor space, such as a garden path or the edge of a rare plant.
