Take time to look at your garden with fresh eyes, it isn’t just a few plants, a patio and a bit of lawn – it’s a space where you can relax, socialise, and spend time with family and friends.
Here are a few suggestions from the team at Stone Made Drives on creating the perfect Lancashire garden that works for relaxing, entertaining, and playing:
Different Activity Areas
Think about a collection of areas. Think textures that you find on the lawn, in the planting, and in the harder paved sections. Even in a small garden you can dedicate areas – the lawn is ideal for safe play whilst the patio area is great for wining and dining. Clever planting can soften the space and different styles can mean you end up with the feel that you want in your garden.
Choose Clever Paving
Dramatic paving alongside tactile greenery can be very welcoming. The patio provides clean lines and can be as elegant as you want. A patio is low maintenance and you can choose different types of paving to add colour, contrast and texture. The perfect place for food and drink during the day and when entertaining at the weekends.
Play Areas
Real lawns, artificial grass and even woodchip soften a garden and offer a safe place to play. If you create clear borders here by planting at a low level and you let children, and pets, know where they are allowed to play.
Planting
By using high-level planting around patio and relaxation areas you can create an area that is secluded enough in which to relax, day and night.
If you own a Lancashire home or property and wish to create a social summer garden with lawned and patio areas then we can help design a perfect outdoor space.
