Designing a small rectangular garden is problematic, because how do you break down the hyper-depth effect without partitioning the space too much?
We recommend that you start by blocking out any overlooked areas, and hiding unsightly elements such as this garden shed. Be careful not to put in trees or shrubs that get too big, so be sure to read the information sheets for the plants you’re interested in on our online garden design system (small “i” logo). When the garden is very large, it’s a good idea to plant a tree with a high growth rate, which will quickly add to the garden’s cachet (in this case, our customer planted a umbrella pine, but beware: it grows quickly and casts a lot of shade, under which nothing much grows). On the ground floor of an apartment, opt for a deciduous tree that will let the light through in winter.
