Landscaping Ideas For Summer Houses
An attractive garden will enhance both your home’s curb appeal and summer house enjoyment, as well as connect us with nature – wildflower meadows with vibrant wildflowers can even be appealing in certain contexts!
Plant flowerbeds along pathways and borders with an assortment of perennials and annuals to provide vibrant hues throughout the seasons.
Add a Water feature
Water features can create an elegant and relaxing ambience in any garden, providing a tranquil oasis that enhances its aesthetics and adds value when selling the house. They come in various designs and sizes to fit into any landscape style; popular examples are waterfalls, streams and ponds – whether you prefer something simple like bird bath or large scale like outdoor pond. There’s sure to be one out there that’s the right match for both taste and budget!
Stone waterfalls are elegant water features that bring beauty and serenity to any garden, usually constructed out of natural stones, that can be customized to fit any space or design style. Perfect for creating modern water features that combine nature- and manmade elements seamlessly, stone waterfalls offer endless design opportunities in yards across America.
If you prefer more natural water features, a stream or river may be an ideal choice. These water features are designed to replicate the flow of a natural creek or river and can be tailored specifically for any space – making them an excellent addition to any garden and can even act as the backdrop for other landscape features such as trees and shrubs.
One popular water feature is a fountain, which adds drama and elegance to your garden. These water features can be customized to reflect any type of creature, making for an impressive conversation piece or showing off your gardening prowess. Or for something simpler like a wishing well that adds whimsical charm that makes the yard an outdoor retreat, opt for more classic water features such as this.
Recycled metal drums make an easy and low-maintenance solution for creating water features with limited maintenance needs, providing space to grow beautiful summer blooms that add color to any backyard landscape. Place the feature in shaded areas so as to prevent it from evaporating too quickly.
Plant a Flower Bed
Flower beds can bring vibrant colour into your garden and are an effective way to add vibrancy and vibrancy. From annuals like marigolds and petunias to perennials such as phlox, chrysanthemums and tulips – the possibilities for your flowerbed are limitless! It’s key that it receives ample sunlight; most blooming flowers need between six-8 hours daily of direct sun in order to thrive properly. Additionally, take into consideration any shaded areas throughout the day that might affect how your flowers grow properly.
Once you’ve selected an ideal location for your flowerbed, it’s time to begin planting! Begin by layering mulch or compost on top of your soil; this will help prevent weeds and make watering your flowers simpler. Be sure to water early morning, which reduces evaporation while encouraging deep root development.
When selecting flowers to go with your summer house, select bright colours that will complement its hue. A Scotts Forest Green or Sage summerhouse looks gorgeous when decorated with vibrant red roses and dahlias; an Aubergine painted summerhouse can be brought to life with orange blossoms and daffodils for added contrast.
Include herbs in your flower beds to enhance meals and beverages, like herbal tea. Bergamot, borage and chamomile can be used to craft delicious herbal blends that you can sip while relaxing in your garden building. Furthermore, rosemary, sage and lavender can enhance the natural scent of your garden, creating an ambience of serenity in your outdoor spaces.
Landscape gardening techniques such as terracing and raised beds are another way of transforming outdoor spaces, leveling sloping gardens while providing solid bases for summerhouses. Terracing and raised beds can also be created from various materials like timber, reclaimed railway sleepers, brick or gabion.
Landscaping ideas include creating a seating area in your garden. This offers an ideal place for you to relax after a hard day at work; creating either a patio or deck space could suffice, or you could go all out and include features like fire pits, grilling stations or an outdoor kitchen can add even more functionality and ease of living to this relaxing retreat.
Add a Wooden Deck
Garden spaces can often be seen as simply aesthetic components of homes, but with some creative landscaping techniques it can become an oasis for outdoor living. Flower beds or seating areas paved in stone – there are numerous ways your own backyard could become the summer oasis you desire!
Landscape can add warmth and welcome to your home, increasing its curb appeal and resale value over time. While there are various forms of landscaping, adding a wooden deck to your garden is one of the best ways to create an intimate setting for relaxation and reflection.
Wooden decks add a refreshing element to your garden, instantly providing an outdoor dining and relaxation area in no time. We recommend wood as it blends beautifully into its surroundings; additionally, its long-term benefits require little upkeep or maintenance costs compared to its counterparts.
Consider its color and finish when selecting a deck to ensure it fits seamlessly with the design of your garden. A Scotts’ Newhaven corner summerhouse would look lovely when filled with red roses, dahlias and heucheras; conversely an aubergine summerhouse would bring vibrancy with intense yellow daffodils, marigolds and heucheras for added color contrast.
Add water features or vegetable gardens to create an uplifting environment and increase relaxation. A fountain can offer soothing sounds while ponds or water gardens attract wildlife such as ducks and frogs to your yard. Plus, vegetable gardens make it fun and easy for families to grow fresh produce!
Capability Brown was an 18th century landscape gardener who worked closely with country house owners to enhance the beauty and appeal of their gardens, helping them balance formal areas such as parterres and rose gardens with wilder wilderness areas. Today we all understand more deeply the need to protect biodiversity; therefore more naturalistic styles of gardening can help re-connect us with nature while supporting survival of wildflowers and insects essential to human food chains.
Add a Fence
No matter the style of garden you have – from formal partserres to rustic wildernesses – fencing can help bring these areas together and foster harmony. A fence can frame flower beds or seating areas while also acting as a barrier against traffic noise or construction noise.
Carefully chosen plants and shrubs can soften the harsh lines introduced by fences, making them part of your overall landscaping theme rather than an intrusion. Selecting species suited to their environment will promote healthy growth while increasing biodiversity – insects and birds will make their home here!
Plants can be strategically arranged either next to or arranged away from a fence to add accent colors that complement its shade, or planted further back as eye-catchers. Bright and colourful flowers create an eye-catching focal point, and planting yellow daffodils, marigolds and chrysanthemums make an especially stunning statement in a Scotts’ Forest Green or Sage summerhouse, while shades of blue can be achieved through planting hollyhocks, roses, irises or peonies.
When selecting plants to place around a fence, it’s essential that their sunlight requirements and spacing be considered carefully. For plants requiring full sun, ideally group them in locations with western or southern exposure for maximum exposure during the daytime; alternatively if selecting shade-loving shrubs and perennials instead, ensure their chance to thrive flourishes by positioning them near eastern or northern exposure to allow them to flourish under shaded conditions.
Maintaining a lush lawn is key to having an attractive garden, so be sure to regularly mow and fertilise yours to ensure its appearance remains rich, green and lush. Doing this will prevent it from turning brown or becoming overgrown – adding visual appeal.
Fencing can also serve as a noise barrier, making your garden the perfect place for rest and rejuvenation. A wooden fence can significantly dampen traffic noise or nearby activities and create a relaxing ambiance wherein to appreciate your custom garden building while taking in all that nature offers instead.
