If you have recently got the house with the beautiful garden that you had been planning for, congratulations! We understand that you will now be excited to develop your garden and do everything yourself, however, it is important to note that although things might look simple, they in fact demand expert attention as well as guidance. 

Hence, our article today is about landscaping ideas especially for the beginners. Most of the spaces here on display are relatively small in size and are a part of a small bunglow or residential building. Take a look, we are sure you will find some interesting ideas below…

1. Creating a pleasant walkway

Walkways that lead us to the main entrance are one of the most important aspects of any garden since they can leave a very good first impression. Instead of opting for just one kind of flowering plant, we recommend that you opt for plants that bloom in different seasons. This way, you can create for yourself a walkway that will be full of blooming flowers irrespective of the season.

2. A gazebo in the centre

Although not exactly for beginners, a gazebo which is a sort of pavillion built in a garden is one of the best things that you can construct.

3. A flower bed with multiple layers

If you want to go a step further in creating a nice flower bed, we recommend you to consider a three-level system. To start with, the highest layer should be the bush (eg, lilac), the second level should be perennials that do not require high maintenance (eg, chrysanthemum), while at the bottom should be stonecrops or ground cover which will allow effective control of weeds.

4. Tree trunks for added aesthetics

You can opt for wooden logs of different heights to give your garden a sleek and artistic look. This can be done easily without investing a lot of money.

5. A stone patio

Stone patios are one of the most charming features of any garden space. Although easy to develop, it is recommended that you follow the appropriate techniques to create a stable and long-lasting stone patio.

6. A sleek fire pit

Built from stone or concrete, a fire pit similar to the one in the image can be a wonderful addition to your garden especially for cold winter evenings.

7. A charming barbeque terrace

By creating a nice platform from wood or stone, you can begin the construction of your own barbeque terrace. You can further line up the space with nice plants as well as develop some lawn space beside in order for the guests to be comfortable while eating.

8. Natural space seperators

If you have a larger garden and wish to divide it into smaller zones, you can opt for a natural seperator in the form of tall local shrubs instead of opting for brick or stone masonary.

9. Gravel beds

Pebble stones when used correctly can add a distinct charm to your garden. Simply opt for the ones you find the most attractive and create a nice space in your garden for them to be laid on. We would recommend you to go with lighter river rocks instead of colorful ones, however, the best call can be taken by you depending upon the surrounding finishes.

10. Planting perennial shrubs

If you want your garden to be simple and maintenance-free, opting for perennial local shrubs is your best option. Not only do they look nice, they also very easy to plant and manage.

11. A sleek terrace with multiple base options

We now arrive to the last image of our series. This lovely terrace consists of multiple base elements such as the stone flooring, white river rocks, as well as local shrubs, to add a nice charm to the entire setting. You too can consider multiple base options to make your garden even more interesting.
