Your Wants and Needs
Everyone's landscape needs are different. Consider what you want to use your garden for. You may want to consider a:
- space for outdoor entertaining
- garden shed or storage area
- place for your kids to play
- secluded spot to relax
- site for a barbecue
- vegetable garden
- composter, a rain barrel, or other items you’d love to see in your garden
Patios, Porches and Pathways
Once you determine your wants and needs, it will be easier to decide where to locate decks, pathways, fences, patios and other hardscape features.
Focal Point Features
Imagine the features that you would like to see around your fusion landscape.
For example:
- lattices, archways and pergolas to define an entrance
- sculptures and gazebos
- a rustic bowl on a rock can provide visual interest
- bird feeders
A sitting area is an ideal way to invite family and neighbours to sit, relax and take in the beauty of your fusion landscape and surroundings.
