Designing a garden: the most important things to know

The garden is an extension of the home, a place to relax, enjoy the greenery and socialise.

Designing a garden requires care and attention to create a functional and beautiful living space. Here are some important things to know:

1. Define your requirements

Before you start designing a garden, it is important to define your needs and lifestyle. How do you want to use your garden? For relaxing, eating outdoors, playing with the children, growing vegetables? Is your home in the city or is it a villa on the Costa Smeralda? Try to understand exactly what you want so that you can present your idea of a garden to a professional who can then bring it to life.

2. Consider the available space

The size and shape of your garden will influence your choices. If you have limited space, opt for vertical solutions or multifunctional furniture. 

3. Choose suitable plants

Plants are the fundamental element of a garden and should be chosen based on the climate in your area, sun exposure and soil type. A team of gardeners and agronomists will be able to advise you on the best plants for your home.

4. Think about lighting

Lighting is important for creating an evocative atmosphere and making the garden safe to enjoy even in the evening. During the garden design phase, the landscaper will define how to best illuminate your garden

5. Choose the right materials

For paths, paving and furnishings, choose durable materials that match the style of your garden. Officine del Verde can also help you choose outdoor furniture.

6. Pay attention to details

Details make all the difference: add a personal touch with pots, cushions, decorative stones and lanterns.

7. Maintenance

A garden needs regular care to stay beautiful and lush. Take care of your plants, water them and prune them regularly. Relying on a garden maintenance company is the best choice if you don't have time and want to delegate the management of your home, flat or hotel garden to a specialised company.

8. Pay attention to your budget

Designing a garden can be expensive. Set a budget and try not to exceed it.

9. Ask a gardening professional for help

If you have no experience in garden design, consult a professional who will be able to create a tailor-made design for you.
