You can give your garden an entire theme that will tie it all together. Here are 10 great garden styles that you can use in your own garden!

10 Ways to Garden in Style

 

Wildlife

Make your garden look like a piece of the outdoors with a few simple plant choices and landscaping ideas. Add a small and simple water feature that makes your garden look like a relaxing getaway next to a lake or a spot to nap alongside a river!

Formal

Formal gardens often have straight lines, smooth curves, and are centered around a certain feature. Whether that feature be a fountain, a courtyard, or a simple tree, formal gardens can really make your backyard look sophisticated and elegant.

Knot Garden

This idea can be hard to create and maintain, but it’s a very fancy design for your backyard. Knot gardens consist of short trimmed hedges that weave in and out of each other. They usually have a few spots of color in them and center around a focal point in the middle.

Modernist

Modernist garden designs are usually simple, neat, and uncluttered. They are great for a clean look to your backyard that still looks beautiful. Wood, rocks, grass, and plants tie together well in a modernist garden.

Tropical

If you have a pool in your backyard or often find yourself lounging outside, then go for a tropical garden style! This design is fun and inviting, but also makes the environment even friendlier. Use palm trees, brightly colored plants, and other shrubbery to make your backyard come to life!

Contemporary

Contemporary gardens really just act as an extension of the home out into the yard. They often have large, open spaces and furniture for you, your family, and your guests. Contemporary gardens are a refreshing mix of both natural and manmade material.
