Well, Spring is almost here and I have to admit that I’m a little unprepared for all those landscaping projects I wanted to do. There are so many different ideas floating around in my head, I’m having a hard time narrowing it down! Each time I think I know what I want, I see something else that just blows my mind, like the work of Amir Schlezinger, a garden designer from the UK. His portfolio is full of inspiration for smaller spaces, many of which feature a captivating combination of textures and materials. I am especially fond of his use of low maintenance plants as well as dramatic lighting. Check out his website for more inspiration!

    Very cool. I’d love to do something like this in my back yard.

  • eddie

    me too. especially it’s small garden rite at the corner of ur backyard or balcony.im thinking this is suitable for rooftop garden or condos where u have limited space that off the ground.

    Can you do a segment on backyard landscaping where fences are not allowed? How can we make i private while still abiding by HOA standards of no fencing.

    Crystal – I’ll do some digging and see what I can find! Just off the top of my head, I’d suggest creating a natural wall from plantings – bamboo or a hedgerow. A hedge can be created from a number of plants, growing up to six feet tall depending on what you plant. They can also be as formal or informal as you like. Here’s a little more info on garden hedges. Hopefully that helps a little – I’ll try to find some more sources of inspiration/information on this landscaping dilemma! :)

    Hi!

    Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to construct super clean, square modern garden beds/walls typical of modern garden design?

    I assume a simple CMU block construction will do. But would it be equally OK to build a frame with 2×4′s and then plaster over a cement board facade for a smooth finish?

    I have recycled planks available, which is why I thought of just adding a cement board facade. But if it’s better in the long run to construct with CMU, I’d better do that.

    Thanks in advance!
