If you want to make your yard look amazing without much effort, then this is the guide for you. If you don’t have a big budget or if you don’t know what to do with the space you have, then this is certainly the guide for you.

Grow your Own Topiary

Geometric topiaries help to add drama to your garden design. On top of this, it also adds a nice contrast to some of the looser-looking grass. It also helps you with your border planting as well. Ideally, you should try and add a mixture of foliage, texture and even color. It’s also a good idea for you to add movement, as this will help to add liveliness to your space. Hedges and strong architectural shapes really do give you the perfect design and if you want to take things to that next level, then you can easily add some roses, holly or yew.

Seasonal Flowers

If you want to try and extend the flowering life of your garden in general, then why not opt for bedding lobelias? Cornflowers, rotundiflora and more are also very good options. Castor oil plants are also ideal, along with dahlias. If you add these to your garden, then you will soon find that everything comes to life. You would also be surprised at how much it livens your space if you are on a budget, so keep this in mind if you can. If you want to water your plants, but don’t want to waste too much water, then look into Plastic-Mart water tanks, as they can be used to store rainwater.

Light up Everything

Light helps to add atmosphere, so try not to overthink it. Bare branches that are wrapped in fairy lights are a stunning thing to say the least. One of the most effective ways for you to try and extend the life of your garden overall would be for you to try and add a lot of lighting. The main reason for lighting is to try and show you where the paths end. There is nothing much more dramatic than having a stark tree that is lit beautifully. The branches form a tracery against the shadows that your fences are casting and when it is frosty, you may find that the whole thing sparkles. This is a fantastic way for you to really add life and luxury to your garden.

Let the Grass Grow

Let your lawn go wild and opt for a much more natural look this year. If you know that you need to cross the lawn so that you can access another part of your garden, then why not mow a section through the longer grass? If you do this, then you will soon find that your space comes together nicely and that you can easily create a space that attracts tons of wildlife. This is a fantastic way for you to make sure that your garden becomes a sanctuary for animals that reside naturally in the area.
