If your garden is not exactly the outdoor space you wish it to be, now is the time to consider a garden redesign. There are several factors to consider when transforming your yard into a beautiful oasis, which we will outline in this blog post.

Layout Planning

Before jumping in with the spade and fork, starting with a planning phase is a good idea. Here are two ways you could go about this:

• Pencil and paper: Measure your garden and draw a rough sketch, preferably to scale. Mark existing immovable items, like the pool and buildings. You can now begin planning your new, improved garden in the open spaces.
• Sticks, twine and markers: If you prefer a more “physical” approach, get out into your garden with some sticks and twine and mark off the areas you envisage. Use stakes to label the future use of the different sections.

Take your time with this important part of the project to ensure it is functional and aesthetically pleasing. Remember to also include hardscaping elements like paths, water features and functional areas (for dining or relaxing) to improve your overall design.

Choosing the Right Plants

Choosing the correct plants is vital to ensure the look you are going for and prevent you from having to move incorrectly selected plants in the future.

• Sunlight requirements: Some plants thrive in full sunlight, some in shade and others are less fussy.
• Soil type: Is your soil sandy, clay or loamy? Choose plants that will do well in your soil type.
• Suitability: Choose hardy plants that are best suited to Syndey’s climate. Indigenous plants are frequently the best option in terms of their survival rate and eco-friendliness (water-wise, bird and insect-friendly, wildlife-friendly). 
• Size of the fully grown plant: Consider how tall and wide the plant will grow to prevent overcrowding or creating too much shade for other plants.
