planning and design of garden – planting flowers, shrubs and trees

Careful garden planning and design come to every gardener’s rescue. We give you a brief guide on how to plant a garden step by step.

Garden planning and design: preparation

Before you get to work, you must prepare the soil. Now is a good time to fertilize and irrigate. Create a sketch of the garden and mark the distance between the house and the garden entrance. If your garden is on a slope, mark the angle of inclination in the drawing. Before planting the garden, decide whether you want to enlarge the terrace or need a new wooden bridge. This work should be done before planting begins.

Planting trees, shrubs and flowers: garden planning and design

Even medium-height trees cost a little, so it makes sense to plant trees at the start. When planning and designing gardens, it is important to provide different heights. Evergreens can always find a place in the garden. Shrubs near the fence provide privacy and screen the garden. The next logical step is to plan the details: where you want to create the lawn, where the best place for flowers is and how you can design the entrance to the cozy garden. If you want to create a garden pond, you need extra space for it and, of course, must take the cost into account. When you have finished designing, prepare a plan and mark all planted flowers. In this way, you can keep track of the garden for years to come.
