Artificial Grass and Putting Greens, Mesa, AZ

The Yard Stylist

This house in Chandler, AZ, has a small front yard, so it made a lot of sense for the owner to have artificial turf installed. Because the front yard runs directly to the sidewalk, borders, decorative gravel, and the like would have made the small yard appear too cluttered. The only addition to the artificial turf is an embedded security light that will shine on the front door, illuminating the yard and front door.

The white garden

Alberto Gualla

In questo giardino si è scelto uno stile formale con geometrie regolari che valorizzassero l'elemento centrale dell'area, una piscina interrata!! La scelta della vegetazione è stata indirizzata verso fioriture con forme tondeggianti e leggiadre: hydrangra Annabelle, agapanthus, alium giganteum, lagerstroemia, anelia grandiflora e pennisetum. Per donare eleganza all'insieme, i colori scelti sono tutti tendenti al bianco. Non mancano macchie di colore con loropetali e lavande che andranno ad evidenziare maggiormente le forme del giardino.

JEU DE CONSTRASTES

Green Line Conception

À l’ouest de Strasbourg, une bataille entre patrimoine et modernité prend place dans un contraste saisissant. À l’entrée une demeure neuve aux tracés ultra contemporains, au fond du jardin une grange imposante en grès rose des Vosges. Une harmonie s’installe par une végétation légère et colorée épicentre de la contemplation, un escalier en gradine vient parfaire cette mise en scène picturale. Croisement étonnant entre accès et admiration.

Get Inspired by Gardens on Houzz

A lot of the time when you get home from a long day at work, all you want to do is wind down. Where better to do this than in your very own garden at home? If you do it right, a great garden design can send you right into holiday mode. But where to start? There’s so many styles to choose from when it comes to garden design. Whether you want to create a tropical, modern, contemporary, beach style or country garden - or something else entirely - the large garden image gallery on Houzz has got you covered. Get inspired and collect your ideas to narrow down your desired garden style and features.

How to Create a Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a garden and if it’s appropriate for your climate. You may want to consider adding a deck or other landscaping features, but the plants you choose will mostly dictate your style and what kind of ongoing maintenance is required. Don’t worry if your backyard isn’t very spacious - there are many plants that can thrive even in a small space and allow you to turn your space into a little paradise of your own, regardless of size.

Decide which plants to use

The greenery you choose is critical to your look. For example, if you’re trying to create a tropical garden palm trees and bamboo are your go-to options. Other popular options are golden cane palm trees and fern for ground cover. From there you can add some colour with bright flowers like frangipani, hibiscus or bromeliads. All these are actually quite hardy plants, so once established, your tropical garden is actually quite easy to maintain. Use this structure and apply it to your style. Research which plants you need to set your base for a garden and go from there.

Add some decor

If the plants don’t quite do it for you yet, or if you want to add some extra wow-factor, consider adding some extra features. Even if you can’t accommodate a swimming pool, hot tub or pond, you could look at smaller water features. Simple rocks can also have a great effect, while statues and gnomes will add some extra character. Don’t forget to add some furniture so you have a nice place to sit and enjoy your garden!

Need some help?

Once you know what you want your garden to look like, it may be hard to make it a reality on your own. If that is the case for you, consider consulting a professional to help you with your garden design. Every photo you find on Houzz will lead you to the local pro that did the job, so you won’t have a problem picking the perfect person to help! Whether you need a gardener in Brisbane, a landscape architect in Melbourne or a fireplace installer in Sydney, you can be sure to find one on Houzz.
