Having an ordinary garden should be avoided by every household, especially during lockdown where you have so much free time on your hands. There is no such thing as a “normal” garden – there is always something interesting that you can implement.

Throughout the history of landscaping and landscape gardens there has been unique styles and independent trends. The gardens of England, Japan, and Netherlands exhibit a variety of styles that mimic the corners of unspoiled nature. No matter how “dishevelled” gardens may look, when you hire a landscape gardener the illusion of simplicity will reign in them. However, the result will always be a materialisation of homeowner’s vision. Skilled landscaping is not only the work of creators, but also the gardeners who support the “natural picture” of the landscape.

In nature, everything is harmonious, it develops according to its own laws and is not limited by the framework of certain trends and territories.

The art of landscaping dates back to 18th century England in which many nobles were obsessed with the idea of creating a picturesque garden. Today owners of country houses and summer cottages are following suit. This is so because the style does not require regular painstaking maintenance and is in perfect harmony with the surrounding landscape. Despite the seeming simplicity of the landscape style, it is sometimes possible only for professionals to recreate it. After reading this article, you will learn what interesting decisions to look for when talking with a landscape designer.

Landscape design involves preserving the natural environment of trees, plants, and reservoirs. Every landscaper should aim to create a garden that looks as natural as possible, while maintaining the structural integrity of flowers, shrubs, and plants.

When creating a project, it is important to think over a system of paths along which you need to move around the garden. A competent landscaper will skilfully put together all these details and successfully place benches, fountains, farm buildings and picturesque flower beds on the site.

There are few factors to achieving good landscaping:

  • First, in order to choose the right plants, it is necessary to consider the soil, relief and climatic features of the region.
  • Secondly, to level the ground by fertilizing it with organic and mineral substances, it is imperative to provide for drainage and the availability of a water supply system for irrigation.
  • Thirdly, choose and purchase shade-tolerant plants that do not require special care. Don't forget about evergreens, which will delight you even in winter.
  • Fourthly, think over in advance the design of the landscape of the site, the size of the flower beds, flower accents, material for paths, the presence of hedges, etc. All elements involved in landscaping must make up a harmonious ensemble.


Landscaping of the outside of the site is mainly carried out along the perimeter:

  • climbing plants are used as a decor for a fence, due to which the space will be visually expanded,
  • climbing and hanging flowering plants will decorate a free plot of land,
  • fruit or coniferous trees planted in a row can be used as a fence,
  • fruit or flowering shrubs can also be planted in a row behind trees,
  • the borders of the site will be decorated with wild plants (branches must be cut) in tandem with flower plantings, which will give a more natural composition.
