Dealing with Space in Your Bristol Garden Design

One of the most important aspects of garden design is the correct use of space and something which you will have to consider very carefully. In many of our towns and cities, such as Bristol, gardens are usually very small. Bristol Garden Design is therefore rather difficult if you do not understand space and dimensions.

However, this does not mean that Bristol garden design is impossible, indeed any small garden presents problems but there are a number of ways to deal with them to create the illusion of space. Below are a number of hints and tips to help you design the perfect small garden.

Unusual Places

Possibly one of the best ways to deal with the problem of space for your Bristol garden design is to consider areas which may not normally be associated with gardens. Today it is becoming more common to see rooftop gardens, they have become extremely popular in many towns and cities around the world because our roofs can rarely be used for anything else! They are, therefore perfect for turning into useable space such as a garden.

Even window boxes provide opportunities for inventive garden creation which can bring color and essence into any room of the house. The addition of items such as buckets, old stone sinks and other unusual containers can be placed in smaller spaces such as rear or front steps, or along a low wall. Even if your home only has a back alley this too can be easily transformed into a garden with a little thought and the application of care and love.

Remain Creative

In towns such as Bristol garden design requires a little more thought and a lot of creativity. In dealing with the lack of space there is a distinct need to remain creative at all times. It is almost impossible to follow ordinary garden design rules in such circumstances so a fresh and new look is always required.

If you follow our advice you will, almost certainly, end up with a small number of tiny gardens spread all over the place rather than one large open space with borders. By planting things in unusual places here there and everywhere you will find that, together, they end up appearing as one garden, strange but true! Just see the reaction of visitors as they enjoy the sight. A few pots of flowers placed at the entrance to a home creates an atmosphere of welcome, happiness and other positive moods. Even in the smallest of places a single flower can bring joy and color where none had existed before.

Bristol is a hilly place so the eye is used to seeing things at different levels. We usually think of a garden as a flat piece of ground to the rear of our home, laid out with borders and areas of color. Bristol garden design brings new demands upon our creativity and in a small place such as a back yard we are often faced with a very small piece of land surrounded by high walls. So, rather than plant on the ground, why not plant on the walls? By adding a few shelves and a couple of hanging baskets you can create a garden that goes upwards rather than outwards - in a sort of terraced approach rather like the city.

Making the most of any space available to us in unique and inventive ways can ensure that any small garden is fun and enjoyable. The points raised here for Bristol garden design are applicable for any small space. Remember that the best designs are those that are personal and unique, something different that meets your needs and brings happiness to you and your household. There are many ways to create a wonderful garden in the smallest of spaces which we have not mentioned here and the most inventive and creative of designers will be able to think of a great deal more. A whole new world can be created in miniature gardens such as sink gardens and the likes. Remember garden design should be fun.
