Consider a natural swimming pool
as the climate is milder, more garden owners than ever are considering installing a pool. If you are able to go to this level of luxury, and you really want to impress, then get a natural pool. You will need a large garden, because it requires little space to the pool and the "treatment area", which is where the plants are used to treat water naturally rather than chemicals.
Install and you will get a crystal clear swimming pool while helping the environment. Of course, the wildlife will want to share with you, but even traditional pools get ducks that fly in. This pool looks completely comfortable in his campaign environment.

Go to a big entrance
You can not fail to impress your guests with a great approach, so if the scope, keep cars away and get everyone off the door input.
In this garden, simple lavender lollipop trees underplanted flank the gravel road. You can create the same effect with underplanted standard lavender roses or trees, even trees and Russian sage. Keep consistently using the same species all the way.

to install a hot tub
Nothing says luxury and party like a hot tub. It sits comfortably in its environment, and I love how the old tree has been incorporated to provide some shade through space.
There are many different jacuzzis available from modern rustic models like this, and you do not need much space. Some "soft tanks" lighter can be stored away in a shed or winter conditions, while a fixed bath should take a small square area, 3m garden.
Choose the one that works with your style and wait for your friends to invite around.

play with color
a very simple device design for the delimitation of areas of the garden is to mix the floor surfaces.
In this quiet seating area, the use of a deep dark slate beside limestone opening not only mark the area as a place to rest and relax, but also a true statement. Indeed, from away, it creates a pool of color hit the middle of this large plantation .

Bring in nature
instead of a view of the sea or the hills beyond your garden fence, you may find -being the nature encroaches on your garden. If so, embrace it and put nature beyond your limits in space.
The garden welcomes these huge rocks, but adds a human stamp with a peaceful sculpture. The plantation is ornamental, but somehow embraces nature, with Hakonechloa and miscanthus grasses planted alongside pines and ornamental cedars.

Make a single color statement
I like the use of a single color as a statement in a garden and it uses the bright orange furniture for an impact in a small courtyard of the city.
It is also easy to make one color statement with plants that supply by those who fall within a narrow color band. white gardens are famous because white flowers blend so well against a green backdrop. Or you could even just go for a green foliage plantation and play with textures and different shades of bright acid green Alchemilla mollis to the deep dark green of some ferns and plants such as rodgersia aesculifolia .

Focus on the view
Why fight with the view when he's like that? Many gardens have a beautiful view beyond their limits, so if you are lucky enough to have something easy on the eye, be sure to make full use of it, either on the choice of transparent fences or to vary the height of your garden wall or even creating space for a window. After all, it could be the best way to create that wow factor
The view is great also beautiful specimens of trees in neighboring gardens -. For example, a magnolia in the garden of your neighbor will illuminate your own when it comes into flower, and we did not even need to look after!

Add lighting for impact
Many of us spend more time in our gardens, and the lighting is a great way to extend the use of your full room air, let alone recover the investment made. If you install a modern LED garden lighting, once you've made the investment, the cost of the system will be very low and there will be almost no maintenance involved.
You can opt for subtle uplighters and just nail the trees - which still looks striking - but sometimes you just need to go all out and make a little magic with lighting feature that is perfect for summer evenings, as in this garden

Scatter bulbs for a spring striking
at certain times of the year, there is not much going on in the garden, but you can soon change that by giving a seasonal explosion of interest with single planting of the bulb.
There does not have to be expensive if you try this idea: plant thousands of snowdrops under trees. They are the first real signs of growth every year and if you plant them 'in the green' (in sheets rather than just light bulbs) in February, they will establish quickly and spread their magic every year.

Choose a unique water feature under
There are many ideas for water in the garden, but often they all turn out to be similar contemporary steel or stone boxes.
Why not be inspired by this Zen design, with five fountains cascade gently, to create something much more fascinating? A feature of this type would be an ideal home for a small yard, and if you place it to be clearly visible in your home, it will bring out - and your tax function - inside all year

Give your raised beds twist
We all like the idea of growing our own food, but why have boring old square raised beds where you can use industrial piping? This is maxed-up version of the old idea of using recycled cans for vegetable cultivation. Using a modern product for a traditional job, he really stands.
Office and factory renovations are a great place to start finding these products, but make sure you know what you are doing in the recycling of old plant material and use only those you can be sure are not toxic. If it is impossible to verify, you can also get great tubes like those of commercial equipment suppliers online and in stores.

Exploit sober hues
You do not necessarily need to go for the big statement of color, size or focus. Moderate palette can create an equally strong style that exudes confidence and class.
In this garden, a few architectural plants against an unpainted concrete wall, gravel, sea-washed and steel gray wood, making a simple declaration. Add to that the Asian idea of a body of water that marks the entrance of the garden and here -. A great style statement with no fuss
