A practical and stylishly designed outdoor area is not a coincidence, but the result of onethoughtful planningand hard work. A successful division into zones, varied routing and comfortable seating and relaxation options are fundamental to the end result. Especially in the warm season, it is worth finding time to replant and carry out several building projects. We'll explain to you how, with a little creativity, you can give the overgrown weed jungle a new face and transform it into an oasis of well-being.
Redesigning the garden: It's all about good planning
Whether you want to redesign your outdoor space or create a new property, the first step to your flower paradise is to get an idea of the terrain. A walk through the garden is also worth it because it quickly becomes clear what can be achieved with the available space. Then create a sketch that will serve as your guide over the next few weeks. Mark the property boundaries with the garden entrance, the house including windows and doors with the corresponding opening directions and the existing water pipes.
Furthermore, good planning is fundamental to the end result. First, think about what your personal oasis of well-being should look like: Which garden elements shouldn't be missing? Try to roughly divide the outdoor area into different zones based on the sketch. There are no limits to your creativity and you can draw several variations until you find the optimal place for the gazebo, the barbecue area and why not for numerous facilities such as a sauna, pool or waterfall.
Based on the garden sketch you can plan the different areas in detail. Then create a detailed list of all the necessary materials and accessories. This doesn't just include saws, drills and mortar mixers. This is particularly worthwhile for intensive construction workInstallation of an emergency power system. The emergency power generator makes it possible to keep important devices running even without being connected to the supply network and offers you a certain degree of flexibility. You can still put it to good use even after construction work is over, for example as a backup in case of power outages during thunderstorms or as an additional power source for music and lighting if you are organizing a garden party.
The final step in planning your dream garden is to decide on the garden style. What is particularly important is that the garden, together with the garden fence and the house, create a harmonious picture. But it's not just the look that's important. How much free time you want or can devote to your outdoor area also plays a big role in your choice. The plants in a naturally designed garden are much easier to care for than the mirror-image hedges in the classically designed outdoor area. For the sauna or pool, you should expect additional effort at the beginning and end of the summer season.
