There is a large plant and flower selection for your backyard flower garden and lots of design options for your landscape. Your garden landscape designer will get to know your personality and your home and work to build a design you'll find meaningful and comfortable. If your home is a large estate, with a Victorian or Colonial design, you might prefer a formal garden design. Formal designs may include shaped ornamental trees, brick paved pathways, neat rows of hedges, and a water garden that includes waterfalls, ponds or fountains.

Your garden designer will work to create harmonious color schemes beginning with the color of your house. Foliage and flowers are taken into account when examining color schemes. Dark green foliage can act as a contrasting backdrop for bright flowers as can hardscaping features such as rock or brick. Dark wooden fences too work to frame your beautiful flower garden.

Water Garden Waterfall

A backyard water garden with a waterfall can help to oxygenate the water that runs into your pond. This can create a healthier environment for plants and fish. A waterfall is a perfect match for a water garden providing a visual and sound improvement that provides a great deal of pleasure for homeowners and visitors. Of course, for a water garden waterfall, you'll need to build a vertical structure of rock for the water to cascade over and a pond to receive the water. There are kits available at your local landscape supply company complete with pumps, rocks and pond liners. As well, you can buy pre-cast concrete forms that resemble stone or rock for the cascading structure. Building a water garden waterfall might be more complicated than you'd hoped for so hiring a local landscaping contractor or landscape architect is a wise decision.

Your backyard waterfall might even have several waterfalls, overhanging falls, and trickling sections. Enjoy the sounds of running water, to the colors sunshine on the water, to the fact the pond and waterfall draws in butterflies, birds, and create a backyard paradise you can enjoy everyday.

Stone Pathways

Garden pathways direct visitors to your doorways and patio, but in the realm of landscape design, a pathway is the route of journey through a beautiful garden setting. Paths and walkways tie a landscape design together and define boundaries. You can design them to complement your home, fences, water garden, and steps into the house. Well designed stone pathways can help control erosion and assist in channeling water off of the property efficiently.

The selection of stone for stone pathways gives you plenty of room for creativity. Crushed loose stone, aggregate stone, flagstone, and granite slabs are often used. Typically in an elegantly designed property, your walkway stone should be the same as your patio stone. The complete pathway to stone patio path that your landscape architect designs will allow your visitors to enjoy an interesting perspective of your garden and the property. The end value of professional walkway design for home selling value shouldn't be underestimated. Take a look brick pathways using brick paving stones too.
