How to Design a Multipurpose Garden Area for your Home

Posted by on Apr 25, 2014 in Garden & Landscaping | Comments Off

Deciding to change your garden area could be a fun project. It is something the whole family can do together, or you by yourself. Before anything is done, it is vitally important to know what the purpose of the garden should be. You have to think what the style and kind of garden will be. Would it be to grow vegetables to aid the grocery bill, or would it be a landscape extending your indoor living area to a beautiful outdoor living space. It is also important to keep the weather conditions of your area in mind with regards in what to plant.

Creating a multi purpose garden area could be as simple or exquisite as you desire. Isn’t it just a marvelous thought to have fresh vegetables from your own garden, served for lunch at the table of your relaxing outdoor living area? A  Zen-like atmosphere is present.

Many times people think that they can create only the one or the other, but there is no restriction in having a garden being separated in different sections for different services. Let your imagination run and keep your garden space in mind before landscape construction starts. Build something created for your own needs and space available.

One way to separate the landscape into different sections is to use natural stone pavers. That way you could get easily from the vegetable are to the area where you might like a table and few chairs to have your afternoon tea or Sunday breakfast. If the space is big enough, you could even have a pool or barbeque area. It is advisable to look at suitable floor areas for pool areas as wet floors can provoke a slippery situation. When space is limited, instead of a pool, a hot-tub area could be created. This has the additional perk of being able to be used way into fall.

After you have decided what you want for the landscape project, you need to look at what plants are in season to plant. You also need to take into consideration how it would look when it is fully grown. Keep in mind that some plants rather need shady areas and others prefer to be in sunny spots. Apart from a vegetable area and relaxing area, you might consider a cutting garden with beautiful flowers in many different colors and smells for every season. This allows you to bring a part of your garden inside and have lovely flower arrangements all year round.

You also could have a specific spot in the garden where herbs for kitchen use could be cultivated. There is nothing nicer than having fresh herbs and spices to compliment the fresh vegetables from the garden. This way fresh seasoning is available all year round.

The only thing that really stands in the way of you having a multipurpose garden or landscape area is your willingness to get going with it. For all your deck construction Melbourne or bobcat hire we recommend Landscape Shape and Form.
