2. Use fencing

Fencing is a popular addition to a garden to add privacy, security, and aesthetics. Offering a more secluded space, a fence can create a cosier environment which is private from any overlookers. Fencing can also protect garden plants by shielding it from wind and rain and keeping them safe from animal intruders. Fencing is a stylish way to divide your garden and can transform the overall aesthetic of a property. Find out more about fencing here.

3. Add a garden path

A simple way to add dimension to your garden is by adding a garden path. Whether this is a beautiful stone resin pathway or garden pavers, a garden path can be both a practical and aesthetic addition to connect different zones of your outside area. The added pathway can prevent walking across a muddy lawn, resulting in a tidier and more pristine garden.

A fantastic way to add height to your garden, is by adding an arch or arches to a pathway. This can create a striking entrance, an inviting walkway or it can even help to frame a view. Adding height and vertical features to a garden enhances the overall aesthetical interest as well as percieved space.

4. Lay artificial grass

Is your lawn constantly muddy? Could your grass be greener? Is your lawn affected by weeds? Then you should consider an artificial lawn. An all-year-round pristine green lawn that is unaffected by different weather conditions will ensure your garden looks perfect. It also offers a safe play space for children which is excellent for the summer months. For a garden transformation, there is no better aesthetic than a perfect natural-looking lawn.

5. Add Zones

A fantastic way to transform a garden is to add zones, especially if you have a large garden. Zones can be created by using paving to differentiate the different areas. One zone could be a patio or decking area, another zone could be a beautiful lawn and the final zone could be a raised plant bed. The options for different zones are countless and entirely up to you and your garden vision.

Having multi-level zones is a great way to incorpate height into your garden, rather than sticking to all one level. The benefits of incorporating multiple heights and adding vertical features are both visual and practical; the aesthetic appeal of having different focal points and eye-catching features as well as the practicality of adding shaded and enclosed areas.
