Modern architecture and garden design
First, decide whether you want to create a formal or informal atmosphere in the garden. The informal designs follow the natural terrain and use long, curved, flowing lines for the flower beds. Formal garden designs use straight, geometric lines and symmetry. Consider the style of your home and choose the right style.
Terraces and garden design
Drawing or plan with a software the location of the plant areas in the garden design. Also draw the house and other structures that will be in contact with the planted areas. Avoid intricate shapes and tight corners, because they are difficult to maintain. Make your flower beds at least 1 meter wide. Beds wider than 3 meters should have some kind of walkway, path, or clear area to allow access. Plan the walkways, patios, sitting areas and any garden structures.
Interesting decoration against the green garden wall
The perennials usually take one of the two forms – a boundary or an island. High plants should be arranged at the back and low – at the front. An island is surrounded on all sides by an open area. As an island, it is visible from all sides. Plant high flowers in the middle and low – on the edge. Choose flowers in such ways that would draw the eye immediately.
Moss walls
Next, you decide whether your garden design will follow a consistent theme and style. This is determined by the type of plants, recognizable design features and materials. The informal garden styles are cottage gardens, rock gardens and butterfly gardens. English, Mediterranean, Greek, Roman and Japanese gardens have a formal structure.
