The main task of a landscaper is to design or create a garden, balcony, or terrace in a house. It is not only the interior of a house that can be decorated but the exterior can also be decorated to contribute to the beauty of the house. This is why landscapers intervene to give more value to the exterior of their clients’ houses in order to make them more welcoming, according to the lifestyle and habits of the said clients.
The creation of gardens is no longer new for landscapers since most have the green thumb and the necessary knowledge to have perfect gardens. However, there are some landscapers who, although they love plants, scents and colors, are unaware of some of the tricks to achieve perfect gardens. If you are also a landscaper and want to use the best techniques to design and maintain green spaces, here are some landscaping tips that can help you now to have a perfect garden.
1. Make a clear plan of your garden
Many landscapers, especially when they are beginners, do not know that the first thing to do to design a perfect garden is to make a clear and precise plan. They prefer to improvise, which should not be the case. A garden that aims to beautify a home and brighten it must be the subject of a basic architectural study. It is not necessary to call upon an architect or another landscape professional to design your garden.
If you are a gifted landscaper, you probably have some gardening skills or knowledge. A simple pencil and paper are all you need to draw the plan. This plan must be done on three levels to consider all the elements you want to put in the garden. This is the basic plan (involving the elements of the garden, even the house), the creation plan (involving the various locations of games, hedges, etc.), and the planting plan (involving the desired location of the various plants in the garden).
2. Knowing how to put each plant in its place
A garden is a place where all plants can be grown. It is a place where plants can grow well if they are well taken care of. Plants, when planted with great care and harmony, give more beauty and life to the garden. It is, therefore, important for any landscaper who wishes to have a perfect garden to be resourceful in putting each plant or group of plants in its place.
To do this, it is necessary to think about the type of planting you want to adopt in your garden. Thinking about the type of planting in your garden means first knowing what plants make a garden beautiful and then selecting those that are appropriate for your type of planting. Don’t hesitate to opt for plants and flowers with a little more aesthetic appeal and persistence through the seasons.
Indeed, the quick and easy growth of a plant is conditioned by the environment in which it is planted. If certain plants are placed in unsuitable locations in a garden, they may suffer from certain deficiencies in their development. They can therefore be exposed to any insect attack. Another thing that brings out the beauty of a garden is the arrangement of plants according to their height.
The general rules of planting call for plants of different heights to be placed in the same bed and rows (from the smallest in the first rows at the front to the tallest in the last rows at the back). That’s why it’s important to learn about the types of plants that will make your garden perfect. This way, no matter the season, you will always see your garden looking neat and full of life, thanks to its wonderful plants and flowers.
3. Select the right colors for the garden
A perfect garden should be in color in all seasons. It should be laid out in such a way that the shapes of the flowers and plants are in harmony with the colors. Colors undoubtedly contribute to the perfect garden because of their strong influence on the garden’s different occupants. Therefore, do not hesitate to choose cool colors such as blue, green, purple, etc. (which express relaxation) and warm colors such as orange, yellow, red, fuchsia pink, etc. (which give the garden more dynamism).
It is important to know how to choose the colors of the garden to get a perfect result: however, it depends on your needs and preferences. If, for example, you are looking for a harmonious effect for your garden, you only need to choose colors that come together a little (red, yellow, and orange, for example). On the other hand, if you want a vibrant, bright effect in your garden, consider pairing contrasting colors like green and yellow or purple and orange instead.
4. Use the right gardening tools to effectively maintain a garden
A garden cannot be perfect and brighten up a house if the plants in it are not regularly cared for. It must be full of life at all times. Trees or plants that are a little too high in the garden, or even tender grasses, must all be trimmed so as not to choke the other plants in their same row.
To do this, you will need to choose a brush cutter, for example, to remove dead grass and tall plants. There are a variety of brushcutter models with different features and functions, such as handheld, towed, backpack, etc. It’s up to you to choose the right model for your job! Other gardening equipment or tools can also be used to maintain a garden. These include secateurs, planters, hoes, etc.
