What is budget landscape design? First, this is a great way to create a place that reflects your inner world. Here, you will find many ideas to implement in your backyard. However, they won’t put a big dent in your wallet.
Creating a modern and pleasant landscape does not have to cost a lot. Experts recommend using reusable materials and plants that do not require special care and a lot of water.
Creativity Is A Source Of Cheap Ideas.
Start by looking at your yard and thinking about what you want to do with it. You can begin to act if you have already decided on your desires and capabilities. But if you are reading this article, you are most likely still at the first stage. So, we’ve put together some inexpensive ideas to help you create your oasis.
Geometric Patterns Of Paving Stones And Grass
It’s one of the cheapest options but still makes a great impression. If you want to improve the soil in your yard, lay it out with paving stones as a mosaic or stained glass window.
You can also plant ivy or other ground cover plants between the layers of paving stones – this will add contrast. This minimalism will help you save money.
Ask Your Friends For Cuttings.
Before you go to the store to buy seeds (which can be expensive), ask your friends if they could share cuttings with you. Many plants can be grown from cuttings, which will save you money.
Flower Pots
You probably have ornamental plants around the house, so you already know what you need. Therefore, you can do the same in the yard. There are many flower pot ideas that you can easily implement.
By the way, you do not have to limit yourself to just pots – you can use boxes, barrels, car tires, old pallets, etc.
Perennials
Perennials are plants that, unlike annuals, do not need to be replanted year after year. So fill your garden with them, and your wallet won’t lose weight. Here are some win-win options:
- Allium (Lilac spherical flowers in the photo below)
- Astilbe
- Baptisia
- Buddleya
- Echinacea
- Anigozanthos (kangaroo paw)
- Sage
- Veronica (Purple flowers with thorns in the photo below)
The cost of perennial plants may be slightly higher, but this one-time expense will pay off financially and visually.
Ornamental Grasses
Combining different types of grasses will give your garden a modern look. Moreover, the design will look expensive, but it will have a very small impact on your budget. Here are some good ornamental grasses:
- Sheep evergreen
- Veynik
- Linen
- Cirrus bristles
- Schisachyrium paniculata
- Zoysia (ideal among groundcovers)
Plant beautiful grass, preferably evergreen, by the way.
Gravel Has A Chic Accent.
Gravel is easy to use, durable, and relatively inexpensive. It can be used where the soil is infertile, where people constantly walk, where there are problems with sewerage, or just for beauty.
