Plant suggestions for my front garden
Comments (7)I would say some of the previous suggestions have been good - we had a similar problem in Oxfordshire. Heucheras are great, especially in a mixture of colors, try at least one red in the mix. A couple of dwarf conifers give good evergreen year round structure, which is so important, you want some some strong lines in a front border or it can look very bitty and insignificant. If things grow a bit above the wall, so much the better, as it will also soften the lines and it looks as if you could do with some height. Add a few fail safe plants clumping plants that will bring some color into the mix at different times of year - Japanese anenomies are great, white ones look modern, or go for pink. Schizostylis are fantastic, would never plan a garden without them. They come from Siberia so will survive come what may! Come in pinks or red and flower from late autumn through to spring, when no other color around, even in snow, you can also put them in pots. Crocosmia are pretty fails safe too and come in lots of colors. Yes, tuck some bulbs inbetween things and see what happens, don't forget these can also go in pots for seasonal color, you can even buy ready planted....See MoreHouse front garden: hedge, bamboo, climbers or just a wall?
Comments (34)Yes anon2005 I’ve just painted my new under the stairs cupboard in Dix blue and everyone who comes in the house says how much they like it. I’m really pleased with it. I’m toying with painting the whole hallway with it. I find Farrow and Ball colours work well in our UK bluish light, whereas some brighter colours can look a bit garish sometimes. I’ve even cheated when I couldn’t wait for it to come into stock and got it colour mixed at Dulux....See MoreAny suggestions for strange front of house path layout?
Comments (8)I'd ask a couple of landscape gardeners around to create a simple design for that part of your garden and give you quotes for the creation of it. (Ask if they'd do that free of charge.) Since your garden is sloping and you need a flat surface to 'land on' if you go down those steps. You probably need to level the area and have a good solution to retain the soil. The current wooden solution looks a bit wonky (sorry). Landscape gardeners should know which materials to use and what is available on the market....See MoreFront garden wall or fence?
Comments (0)Hey guys, I just need abit of advice. I have a tight budget but would like to either have a brick wall or fence put up in my front garden. I know the brick wall will probably be more expensive. However I was wondering which one is easier to maintain. What is the average cost of each option? Thanks ( I live in the midlands, if that helps)...See Morerapscalli
