Garden Design Ideas


Don't save your best ideas for the back garden - the front garden can be just as imaginatively transformed


Turn your garden into a lounge... A large bed cum table is a great focal point for a funky contemporary courtyard

Large space to fill? Go for a range of materials to cover the ground - from decking to gravel to paving - and to break up the garden into zones.


Make your garden steps a feature in themselves by combining materials, such as decking and slate.


Break up a large surface of lawn with low lying beds, divided neatly and planted identically.


Combine grasses of different sizes and colours - and colour the background to show them off.

Disguise an ugly view with a free-standing feature - you needn't even grow plants up it.

Paint masonry brilliant white, woodwork blue and grow colourful climbers for a Mediterranean look.


For a smaller space, this is a great variation on the crazy paving scheme - and much easier to do with pebbles.
