Have layers and levels

Trees and plants are amazing decorations. They have so much character and one of the best ways to really experience this is by having layers and levels in your garden. Using a limestone retaining wall Perth to raise a few areas, creating a difference in height can make things interesting to look at.

Include some man made stuff

Although trees are awesome a whole lot of green won\’t really make it for anything too interesting to try to add a few man-made things in your garden. This can be something as simple as a birdbath, however, there are a lot of options ranging from simple limestone pavers to a huge gazebo. Depending on things like budget, the size of your garden and your what you like there are truly a lot of things that you can do.

Make sure that you can maintain it

Maintenance is an important part of owning a garden so you need to pay attention to this when designing. Make sure the garden you create is something that you can maintain and keep looking good.

Pay attention to the environment and nature

No matter what your vision for your garden is it’s going to be controlled by the forces of nature so if you want to make things easier for you make sure you pay attention to nature and follow it. For example, if you live in a cold area then a coconut tree might not really work out with your garden design no matter how much you want it.
