Characteristics of a contemporary garden
If you’re considering getting a contemporary garden for your backyard, it might help if you’ll know what characterizes a contemporary garden. As we’ve already established, contemporary gardens give you the freedom to add your taste to your garden. That being said, there are still rules of thumb to abide by when creating a contemporary garden:
A contemporary garden is all about forming and clean, neat shapes with natural materials. That’s why most of the plants you’ll see in a contemporary garden are subdued and conservative, the total opposite of a cottage garden or wildlife garden. Trimmed and maintained hedges, as well as potted plants, staple plants in any contemporary garden.
There could be trees planted as well but they have to also be tamed and cut back to maintain that clean shape.
A contemporary garden has a modern feel that doesn’t mean natural materials are ignored while creating one. Natural materials are used in creating most of the structures in a contemporary garden. Think timeless and classic materials that are durable like wood(both softwood and hardwood), stone, etc.
Contemporary gardens are not over the top so don’t expect a very dramatic fountain with a marble statue right at the centre. Instead, contemporary gardens use water to further enhance the tranquil setting of the environment. The water feature tends to create sound and reflection in the garden to make the garden a perfect escape from the loudness of the world.
By clean lines, we mean everything has a place to open up the space of the garden. There isn’t any of the “wild and free” growth of vegetation as in the case of a cottage garden. A contemporary garden rather strives for elegance and tranquillity.
Finally, the one thing a contemporary garden is characterized by is its spaciousness and how it opens up the environment through the positioning of outdoor furniture and plants. Contemporary gardens can not be cluttered as that defeats the purpose of the garden.
As mentioned above we undertake all aspects of soft and hard landscaping that includes but not exclusive to:
