Before purchasing plants and determining what crops you want to invest your time in, head outside to analyze your existing space. Make sure you have a measuring tape and notepad to take specific measurements of the garden, patio, or balcony area you will be planting on. Whether you plan on partnering with a professional or you intend to undertake this new project by yourself, understanding how much space you have to work with will allow you to make other important decisions about your garden, such as what you choose to plant and where you choose to plant it!
Is there a particular garden style you have in mind, such as a tropical, modern, or cottage-inspired ambiance? That’s great—but first, be sure to establish your essentials! Identify the overall purpose your garden will serve, and make a list of the specific goals you have for your garden, such as growing everyday herbs for cooking or creating a space to cut and arrange flowers. Our expert deck builders in Wichita at Southwestern Remodeling also recommend noting any problems that will need to be solved during the design phase, such as water logging issues or a bumpy lawn.
Unlike designing a room inside your home, creating an outdoor area and living space requires some additional considerations when it comes to making accommodations for nature. You will want to establish your garden’s aspect before breaking ground! Do this by visiting your garden at different times throughout the day to observe any particularly shady areas that will affect your final planting decisions. This will help you determine which varieties will thrive in your garden and where they should be placed for optimal results!
