When making landscaping plans for your garden, why not consider working the garden furniture into the plan?

Every year I work with thousands of people who spend huge amounts of money having their garden designed, redesigned, landscaped and altered to make it exactly the way they want it. It often takes months and the results are normally staggering – a properly landscaped garden looks amazing, feel amazing and adds an amazing amount of vaule to a property. However, despite all the effort they put into ensuring they cover every possible detail (choosing the size of the shrubs to suit the features in the horizon, matching the colours of the flowers with the paint of the house and leaving exactly enough room for the children’s trampoline), people seem to put little or no thought into where the garden furniture is going to go! They stack it all up while the work is going on, then bring it out after and simply plonk it on the ground – in the middle of nowhere!

Think about it for a moment; the purpose of garden furniture is to create an area for people to relax and enjoy the beauty of the garden. Why perch your furniture outside the back door when you could just as easily blend it into the garden, creating a natural space in which to relax?

If you are considering landscaping your garden, remember you can extend the living space of you house outside by cleverly including an area for garden furniture into your plans.
