The Best Hard Landscaping Elements for Your Garden Design

When you think about updating your garden, you might focus on planting new flowers and shrubs. Although this is a great way to spruce up your Worcestershire garden in the spring, this isn’t the best way to give your garden a true makeover.

In this post, we’ll show you the best hard landscaping elements you should consider adding to your garden design to create the stunning new garden you’ve been dreaming about.

Paths

Paths are often forgotten about in gardens, but they make a garden design much more functional. Paths provide safe walkways between zones and better access to your garden through the winter months.

Whether you are planning a new patio, garden house, or greenhouse, you’ll need strategically placed paths to get to those new areas.

Paths need to be planned carefully. In the wrong place, and they won’t get used. Instead, you’ll find guests, pets, and children making their own walkways through grass, flowerbeds, and over walls.

Water Features

Nothing adds a wow factor to a garden design like a water feature. At New English Living, we are known for our bespoke water features. From raised ponds to stunning waterfalls, we can install a water feature that takes your garden to the next level.

If you would love to add a water feature to your garden, you’ve got to think about the size, foundations, and materials used to make sure it’s a quality feature. Our landscapers can go over all of this with you during a free consultation.

Permanent Walls

Walls are a great way to divide your garden into zones and create more intimate areas. If you have a large garden without many features, it may feel difficult trying to figure out how to add any personality.

Installing permanent walls is a way of sectioning off areas of the garden so it’s easier to worth with. From seating areas and cosy firepits to play areas and expansive lawns, we can use walls to map out your garden design.

Patios

Patios are perfect for creating social areas for hosting guests. We regularly install expansive patios in our clients’ gardens, along with firepits, seating areas, and even outdoor kitchens.

We’ll help you choose the right material, layout, and design to complement the rest of your garden, and we’ll also ensure the site you choose is practical. Often, we forget to take into account which parts of our gardens get the most sun, but this is usually the perfect spot for a patio and seating area.

Raised Beds

If you love gardening or being surrounded by flowers, flower beds are a must in any garden design. However, floor-level flower beds can be difficult to maintain and easily become overcome with weeds.

Raised beds are a great hard landscaping feature that look fantastic and are much easier to maintain. We often create these out of local materials, such as stone or brick, but we can create them out of a range of quality materials to suit the rest of your garden.
