Good questions and answers about the design and garden maintenance

Good landscape planning and garden design are essential for creating an attractive outdoor space. Here you will find answers to common questions about garden planning, planting, privacy, and maintenance.

Tips for landscaping

What is the best grass for the garden?

If you want to create a beautiful lawn, start by considering how it will be used. For a heavily used play area, artificial turf may be the easiest option. If the lawn is mainly a visual accent and will not be walked on often, grasses such as perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, red fescue, tall fescue, and bentgrass are suitable choices. Most of these species are easy to care for and can be planted as a mixture. Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) also makes an attractive backdrop in garden design.

Landscaping with the right plants for the location

What perennials are drought tolerant?

A good garden design depends on choosing plants that suit the site. Some flowering perennials can cope with dry soil and sunny or partially shaded positions, including Artemisia pontica, Acanthus hungaricus, Adonis vernalis, and Anthericum liliago. Even resilient plants need care and attention, especially during the first year.

How to protect your privacy in the garden at cheap and attractive at the same time?

Anyone who wants to shield a garden from unwanted views has several privacy options. Bamboo can define the edge of a garden design while also serving as a screen, and it is relatively inexpensive for outdoor areas.

How can I keep birds away from berries?

A light net can be stretched over the berry bushes so birds cannot land on them.

What flowers are suitable for a rock garden?

If you dream of flowers in a rock garden, mat-forming perennials can create beautiful effects. Achillea ageratifolia, Alchemilla faeroensis ssp. pumila, and Anaphalis triplinervis 'Silver Rain' are well suited to sunny rock gardens.
