Tips for Creating the Perfect Summer Garden

2015-07-09T23:43:00.000-07:00

The summer months are the perfect time to make the most of your outdoor space. To ensure your garden is looking its best and your space is usable in the warmer weather it is important to choose the right flora and ensure your space is protected from the elements.

Planting hardy, drought tolerant plants will ensure your garden requires less watering and maintenance in summer – your garden bed will look great even when the sun is at its most powerful. There are plenty of on-trend options in the drought hardy category, including some of the below:

Agave attenuate “Ágave” : An extremely attractive succulent with a thick trunk, often branching at the base. The branches are topped by rosettes of pale green, fleshy leaves without any spines. Thrives in pots or in-ground.

Correa relexa“Dusky Bells” : Lush looking native shrub. Suitable for full sun-to part-shade positions. Responds well to clipping and hedging. Dark green glossy foliage with masses of soft pink-red flowers throughout winter and early spring.

Fraxinusornus ‘’Flowering Ash’’ : Hardy and attractive tree for larger gardens. Grows to 10m and prefers full sun. Tolerates exposure to windy sites and coastal areas. Dark green leaves turning burgundy to pink-orange for autumn, with prolific and fragrant creamy flowers during spring.

Enclosing your entertaining space or introducing shade to your backyard through pergolas, covered decking or blinds will also serve to increase the functionality of your outdoor area, providing protection from the elements all year round. It is also beneficial to view your outdoor space as an outdoor room and furnish it accordingly so that you can make the most of it when friends and family visit.

Stylish Backyard Furniture Suitable for every Season

2015-07-09T23:34:00.000-07:00

There is a veritable smorgasbord of options out there when it comes to outdoor furniture. In the interest of spending as much time outdoors in future as possible, it is important be conscious of and understand your outdoor entertaining and relaxation needs.

Before beginning the search, you must have a firm idea of exactly how it is that you intend to use your outdoor space. Will you use it for solo relaxation time? Or for casual dining with a small group? Or do you require a versatile area that caters for larger groups of visitors or your children and their friends?

The materials with which your furniture is constructed should be determined by how much time you are willing to spend maintaining / covering / storing your furniture. Wood, metal, plastics, glass, natural woven materials and stone are among the many options available and vary widely in terms of maintenance required. Wood in particular is not an ideal choice for those who are short of time – resanding, oiling, and waterproofing can be a painstaking task! We recommend using in covered areas. Some metals and rubbers can also be prone to staining when not protected from the elements, so be sure to do your research on the materials used and associated care instructions before buying

The most important thing is to choose a furniture style that matches your home. Keep within similar colour schemes and textures – this will help to improve the flow from indoors to outdoors and ensures your outdoor space is an extension of your home.

With the assistance of skilled landscape designers, it is also possible to incorporate seating into landscaping features such as deck areas and paths. The possibilities are endless!

Valley Garden Landscapes can help you make these areas pop with breaks of creative planting and carefully placed lighting.

Choosing the right Plants for Your Garden

2015-07-08T22:39:00.000-07:00

Choosing the right plants is not just about personal preference; there are also practical aspects to keep in mind. Plants play a vital role in any garden and can make or break the overall appearance of your outdoor space. This is why when selecting plants it’s important to choose the right type of plants that are most suited to the location in the garden, the soil, the climate and aesthetics of your garden.

When gardening and updating your outdoor space, it is important to plan ahead and really consider where you are placing things.

It is best to create a sketch or draft of how you wish your future garden to look – don’t rush the design process. Remember to think practically, do your research and find out if your preferred plants will suit your long-term plan.

When researching and selecting plants, consider the following:

• Climate – if your selected plant types are not suitable to your local climate, they may die. This is a waste of your time and money! Do your research and find out the climate that the plant is suited to

• Growth projection – how big and how quickly will your plants grow? Will they be easy for you to maintain? Can their root systems become invasive or damaging to surrounding structures? Could this affect drainage? All of these are important to consider when selecting plants

• Care – how much time do your chosen plants require to ensure they thrive? You must decide if you can commit to the required level of care

Whilst the thought process and practical decision making is vital, you should also be mindful of the appearance and decorative value of the plant. You definitely want them to be appealing and to add some sort of benefit aesthetically.

When planting, get creative with your mixing and matching. Make informed choices but be creative too! Consider the physical attributes of each plant you choose and make sure they contrast well or complement each other. Aim to create a balanced and well blended overall look, with vibrancy elements as well as subtlety. But most importantly, create a look or theme that is best suited to your own personal taste and the pre-existing style of your home!

Choosing the right plants will make your outdoors space much more enjoyable and much easier to maintain in the long run. It may be hard work, but you can take confidence from making the right choice as it will pay off in the long run and really boost the feel of your outdoor area.

Incorporating Art into Your Garden

2015-07-08T22:29:00.002-07:00

The addition of interesting art into your garden or outdoor space can really transform the overall style of the space.

Weatherproof artwork or pieces such as sculptures or murals can work to add the final touch you need to modernize or brighten up your backyard. Art can be used in many different and unique ways, creating a wow factor for anyone who views it, shifting the focus of the space or to better align the space with that of your home.

The introduction of artwork can add insight into your personality and imagination. The choices you make or even self-made art can act as a representation of your own individual taste and style, making it just what you need to add that extra level of personalisation to set your garden apart from everyone else!

Finding the right piece of artwork can be a difficult, as art is very subjective. We recommend choosing something you like and that aligns with the overall style of your home. When purchasing sculptures or paintings, it is important to remember to consider all options before making your final decision.

When purchasing artwork for your garden, things to look out for include:

• Colour tone and overall theme of item – ensure it suits your home and outdoor area

• Size – you don’t want to pick something so large it overwhelms the space, nor so small it is not seen at all

• Price – find something suitable for your budget, some art can be very expensive!

• Weather-proofing – is the piece intended for outdoor use, such that it won’t be easily damaged or become discoloured?

• Location – think long and hard about where exactly you will put the piece, how this draws focus and it position in relation to the other elements of your garden

Adding interest in your garden can also come in other forms, such as the use of lighting, water features, creative tiling and paths or topiary and planting. Introducing art adds interest, a level of individuality and a personalised feel in your garden – so whatever you do, own it! Be proud of what you have created.

The key to incorporating art into your garden is to always maintain an open and creative mindset – this way you will be sure to have a beautiful and unique garden!

All You Need to Know About Paving (and Other Surfacing Options)

2015-07-07T22:44:00.002-07:00

When you look out your back or front door, what do you see? A space that needs something, but you just don’t know what? Or do you see an area that flows perfectly in terms of look and usability for your home? It’d be nice to be able to answer that question with the latter response. Have you considered how paving might work in that not-so-perfect outdoor area at your home?

Taking into consideration your family needs and budget, some fresh surfacing can completely transform an outdoor area.

Five Benefits of Paving

• Stone paving is durable, unlike wood decks which require re-staining or re-building, paving is built to last.
• While concrete slabs can crack due to contraction or expansion, paving is made up of a number of individual pieces, resulting in less surface cracks
• Pavers don’t get too hot to walk on in summer, unlike concrete, and won’t radiate heat onto surrounding buildings
• Small areas can be lifted and replaced
• Most pavers can easily be lifted, re-located and re-used, perhaps in a different pattern in the future

Types of surfacing options – which to choose?

So you’re thinking that paving could make a big difference, but where to start? When choosing the best surfacing option for your outdoor area – consider colour, size, shape and texture. The choice of materials is almost endless – from concrete and clay pavers to soft textured limestone and also hard granite or bluestone pavers.

Selecting a colour to either complement or contrast the environment should take into account the house, fencing and surrounding garden. In choosing a size and shape, you should also consider the style of your home and remember that larger pavers can make a small space look bigger.

Choosing pavers that are known as ‘crazy pattern paving’ is a great alternative to regular symmetrical pavers. It’s timeless, unique and can suit any home. It’s done in a kind of mosaic style of stone, with varying shapes and sizes.

So there’s absolutely no excuse for having boring old concrete on your driveway, paths or patios. The versatility of paving is a real bonus for anyone looking for a low maintenance, high impact improvement to their outdoor area. But keep it simple by selecting materials and colours that work well with other materials already used in your garden or exterior of your home.

A landscape designer can also be a wonderful help with these decisions! Call Valley Garden Landscapes on 02 9548 6024 for more information and advice.

How to Inject some Modern Design Elements into Your Backyard

2015-07-07T22:36:00.002-07:00

One thing we absolutely LOVE about landscape design is that there is no limit to what is possible. Sometimes we feel like we are in the business of making dreams a reality! So let’s take a little garden stroll to look at some design elements that can modernise your backyard.

There is often space that gets neglected in a garden, even in small gardens, and clever design is one way to change that. The use of different textures and materials adds interest and can make your garden an extension of your indoor living area, particularly with doors that open right up. The image below shows a clever use of grass as “carpet”, as well as a combination of decking and pavers to create entertaining areas.

Adding ornaments, or a special sculpture can help add a little pizzazz and help keep a simple space from looking boring. Such a focal point also serves to slow the eye down, so it doesn’t take in the whole garden too quickly.

Contemporary art enhances and enlivens any space, and you’ll notice that a quality piece of art can totally change the mood and atmosphere of a garden. You can see below how the curved shape of this moon gate fits harmoniously in landscapes of all kinds and makes entering the garden a memorable event.

Sculptures or artwork can also bring special meaning to your garden. We find that some of our clients enjoy using sculptures that they’ve brought back from a favourite holiday destination to be incorporated in their garden design, adding a personal touch.

The key to all stunning gardens in modern landscape design is great planting that is chosen, arranged and settled well. One way of doing this is by keeping palettes minimal, which provides an overall restrained and architectural look, as shown in the below image.

Your choice of plants, colours, artwork, and water feature styles really does stretch as far as your

imagination can take it. If you’re not worn out by our little garden stroll, perhaps you’d like to take a look at some of our recent projects for some further inspiration on how you could modernise your own space using landscape design. Or you could just take a moment to enjoy this outdoor shower.

Using Landscape Design to Help SELL Your Home

2015-07-06T22:54:00.000-07:00

When selling your home, you want a competitive edge to secure the best price possible. Boost your property value with clever landscape design! Here’s how:

Make your home ‘the’ house of the street

The first impression potential buyers will have of your property is from the outside – the garden. A well designed garden that complements your home and takes pride of place in the street scape will be sure to have an immediate impact. There are a number of qualities that can raise a property’s value:

Level of care taken and garden maintenance at the property
An eye for detail and design in crafting the garden
Money and time have been invested to beautify the property
It’s a desirable place someone could proudly call home!

A garden speaks volumes about your lifestyle

When home buyers are inspecting, they are picturing themselves and what their lifestyle will be (or what investors will market to potential tenants), and this is your opportunity to excite!

Landscape design can create both open space and shelter from the elements – great for entertainers – as well as quiet nooks for relaxation, beautiful large or varied plants for an avid gardener to care for, or a low maintenance, yet luxurious backyard for the time-poor professional. To appeal to lovers of cooking, an outdoor kitchen or veggie patch could be ideal!

Highlight your property’s best points

Landscape design can really help to capture the imagination of a potential buyer, by incorporating a number of design elements into a garden, perhaps framing and highlighting a view, or capturing and making the most of afternoon sunlight with clever, considered garden design.

Something unsightly in your backyard? Maybe the neighbour’s house is an eyesore, or there are utility metres you want hidden. Perhaps your home is near a busy road and you’re tired of the noise. Landscapers can soften the impact of these or obscure them from visibility with smart landscaping and clever planting solutions. Turn these perceived blights into opportunities to innovate!

Do it for YOU!

Most importantly – consider your needs in making any upgrade!

Investing to capitalise upon your property’s great appearance is a good idea, but isn’t it smarter to make that investment earlier so you can really enjoy your outdoor space in the meantime? You’ll be prepared with a considered and established garden should you decide to go to market in future!

Give us a call on 02 9548 6024 to discuss what we can do to upgrade, modernise and beautify your outdoor space, be it to sell or for you and your family to enjoy!

Sustainable Landscaping in Sydney’s Suburbs

2015-07-06T22:35:00.002-07:00

Sustainable landscape design provides an exciting opportunity to maximise the positive benefits of gardening for our environment, health and even to beautify and increase your enjoyment of your outdoor space.

Sustainable garden design exists to ensure that we live in a way that can be maintained into the future, without diminishing finite natural resources and whilst avoiding harm to our local environment. A landscape designer can help you plan and develop a more sustainable garden, taking into account the following important considerations:

Reducing Reliance on Water Catchments

As we know, Australia is a naturally dry continent, therefore it’s important to ensure we don’t place undue stress our limited water supply. Sustainable landscaping should employ water-wise planting choices to minimise watering requirements, as well as considering ground coverage to avoid evaporation in the sun and heat. A quality landscape designer will also offer advice on efficient water storage and sustainable watering solutions.

This newly landscaped garden incorporated drought-hardy plants that don’t require regular watering. The garden beds have been generously mulched and the plant varieties chosen cover the surface area to manage and reduce evaporation of water from the surface of the soil.

Sharing your Garden with Insects, Birds and other Animals

Sydney’s growing suburbs mean that the habitable space for our native animals is shrinking. With the help of landscape designers, you can create a garden that includes strategic planting choices that are native to your local area, helping your home to become a contributing part of the natural landscape where local birds, insects and mammals are attracted to find food and shelter.

Enjoying Fresh Food Grown in your Backyard

Growing fruit and vegetables in your garden provides more than just the satisfaction of making delicious food. It gives your garden a homely, earthy feel and is a healthy way to improve your diet, crucially reducing the food miles of your meal. This means less greenhouse emissions are produced in the transport of your food from producer to table – what can be closer than your backyard?

Get the Look in a Sustainable Way

Beautifully landscaped spaces can be created using sustainable materials – recycled, up-cycled, recyclable and even biodegradable pieces can be utilised very creatively. A seemingly unusable area can become a feature by re-using offcuts from decking, to create a modern and enticing look and feel.

Our team are full of great ideas on how to make your garden more sustainable. If you’ve been inspired to make positive changes in your garden, give us a call on 02 9548 6024 for more advice.

Add a Level of Privacy in Your Garden, Using Only Plants

2014-12-09T03:39:00.000-08:00

Homeowners are increasingly seeking to make their homes a relaxing retreat, where they can escape the hustle and bustle of the outside world. This includes making sure that their outdoor spaces are private, veritable hideaways and NOT subject to the prying eyes of neighbours – nobody likes the feeling of living in a fishbowl!

There are a variety of planting options available to increase the privacy of your outdoor space, including;

Custom made planting troughs around the perimeter can create a screen, whilst softening the property-line border and adding a vivid splash of colour.

Hedges can effectively define adjoining yards or block sightlines, however shrub hedges need at least 800mm width of garden bed to thrive. For people in urban environments, there often isn’t the space to spare for shrub hedges, so vertical growing options such as bamboo are a more suitable choice. Bamboo is a dense, fast-growing option and their root system does not spread out too much underground.

Planting trees along a boundary line or around a house is a great way to block the line of sight. At Valley Garden Landscapes, we provide expert advice on how to choose the right trees for your space. It is important to choose an appropriate tree as some root systems can grow larger than expected, causing structural damage to fence lines or even housing foundations. Local councils may have guidelines regarding height restrictions for trees and hedges that block views or light – these must be taken into account before planting in order to avoid any neighbourly disputes!

Further to planting options, there are also several construction options available to increase your backyard privacy –

Fencing & Trellises are an effective way to block out neighbours and enclose your garden. Be sure to have us design the best option for you as an inappropriate fence choice to suit your needs.

Building additions and barriers such as external roofing: Pergolas and even shadesails are great options for blocking out views from neighbours, especially from second or third story windows.

At Valley Garden Landscapes we use a combination of constructed and planted screening solutions to achieve a level of privacy that is both natural in appearance and efficient in its objective of creating your own private garden oasis.

If you would like to increase your garden privacy or get a total garden makeover, contact us at www.valleygardenlandscapes.com.au/contact-us for an obligation-free initial consultation.
