Designing a Garden within budget in Chalfont

Karl Harrison Landscapes Ltd

There was an existing raised pine deck that desperately needed replacing. A small lawn and a small patio with a pergola. The client didn’t like anything about the space and commissioned us for a complete redesign. They wanted their new garden to be filled with colourful plants, raised herb beds and a new deck terrace. Since completion in 2020 we have revisited this project to check up on the garden and this is what it looks like now.

Designing a Garden within budget in Chalfont

Like all projects this garden had a budget, we prefer to call this “An Investment”. The best place to start is with a design and materials specification. It’s at this point we can offer an accurate quotation and show off exactly what we can achieve within the budget.

Natural Scandi Haven - Pond life

Sophia's Gardens

The pond was carefully shaped, even inside, to give gentle slopes for wildlife to move about on, rather than sheer sides. When you make a pond using a butyl liner, the earth below is sculpted to form the internal shape and pond shelves for plants to sit on. It's laid, with underlay, over the cavity and slowly filled, moving the liner slightly to accomodate the bends and curves. The internal ledges were covered with a layer of coarse sand to facilitate micro-organism growth and good water health. Decorative pebbles and cobbles complete the upper surfaces and provide nooks and crannies for insects to thrive in. And food for the birds... A final and important touch is to add a bucketful of gunk from an existing healthy pond. That way the micro-fauna and flora will be there to keep the water clear. PS no fish when its a wildlife pond.

Mid-sized Scandinavian Garden Design Ideas

Get Inspired by Scandinavian 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 Scandinavian 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 Scandinavian Garden for Your Home

Depending on which style you’re going for, be sure to know what makes a Scandinavian 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 Scandinavian 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 Scandinavian 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.
