Having a elegantly designed outside space requires good planning and preparation. Get a pen and paper and draw a mini version of the shape of your garden. When you have the shape drawn you can start to plan out what features you want to include in your garden.

Do you want to have a water feature? Do you want to include a lawn? How about having a nice paved or patio area? Low maintenance or high maintenance Garden?

Once you have all the elements penciled out you can then roughly guess how much the design is going to cost. If finances is tight, you might want to try to find some of the materials from reclaimed materials, your local tip can be a good resource of every day materials which are commonly discarded. Other places of reasonably priced materials can be your local paper or car boot sales.

Perhaps you have a great garden outside your house, but find its just too much effort to keep it looking great, spring comes and the whole thing goes mad. Are you too busy working to give it the attention it needs to keep it all up to scratch? Well the answer may well be to design yourself a simple to garden space that requires little effort to keep it looking good.

Large paved areas or patios can be a breeze to keep looking good, They can be easily weeded with weed killing solutions, plus cleaning them is as easy as running a hose over the floor or sweeping with a good stiff broom. Keeping trees to a minimum is also a good idea as in Autumn the leaves will not be an issue to remove clear.

Raised beds are also a good option as they are easier to up keep and keep free from unwanted plants, also easier on the back as you don?t need to bend over or kneel down to tend to them.
