Are you keen to make sure that your garden looks as large as possible? The benefit here is that visually your yard will be more impressive and this will add to the actual value of the land and indeed your property. It’s a particularly attractive idea if you are thinking about a sale in the near future. But, you could simply be looking to impress your neighbours and this will still be a brilliant way to do it. So, how do you set about achieving this effect? Regardless of whether you hire a landscaper or choose to complete the work yourself, there are quite a few steps that you can take here. Let’s look at some of the possibilities.
Add A Mirror
One option would be to add a large mirror or a reflective surface to your garden. People don’t just do this outside and it’s a typical way to make a small bathroom look far larger. This trick is even used in lifts or other enclosed spaces to make you feel like the area is bigger than it really is. One thing to be aware of is that while reflective surfaces will make an area seem bigger, they will not help you scare off any animals in your backyard. So, if you’re hoping for that as a side benefit you will be disappointed.
That said, there are some fantastic mirror designs and reflective materials that will look gorgeous as part of your backyard. As well as providing a change to the perception, these surfaces also ensure that your garden has a contemporary or modern feel. They can also make your garden a little brighter as light from the sun or other sources will be reflected in the surface.
Layer It
Another possibility that you could consider would be adding layers to your garden. Layering is simply a matter of creating different levels. A great example of this would be an elevated deck and that’s fairly easy to build yourself. All you need is the materials which you can purchase from any home depot store. You can also find some fantastic guides online that will tell you everything you need to know about setting one up. Alternatively, you can hire a landscaper and they will complete the work for you. This can allow you to get far more exciting designs such as built up concrete areas.
Section The Garden
Alternatively, you can consider sectioning the garden. By sectioning the garden, you will be able to have different spaces for various uses. For instance, you could have an area for dining, a spot for pure gardening and potentially even something like a serenity garden. To do this, you simply need to add different styles to your garden. For instance, you can start by using separate ground coverings. Something like Kelkay gravel stones would look beautiful as part of a dining area while another section would remain grass.
We hope this helps you make sure that your garden looks like a great, grand area that you can be proud of.
