If you are missing a green thumb or are a professional gardener, these outdoor garden ideas will ensure you have the most stunning garden without spending a lot of time, effort, and money. Green Evolutions is presenting 7 super creative outdoor garden ideas to transform your space.

Keep weeds out with gravel.
Keeping weeds out of the garden is an almost impossible task. When you’re working a full-time job, looking after your garden becomes an impossible task. And the task becomes a thousand times more difficult when you know you’re missing a green thumb. So, what do you do when you encounter situations like mowing the grass because it has grown too tall? Or the weed situation has gone out of control. Instead of sulking in the corner, spread out gravel wherever necessary. Not only does this look chic, but it is also one of the best outdoor garden ideas that sound classy and affordable.

Elevate Your Space with Innovative Outdoor Garden Ideas

Patio Furniture
Furniture of all kinds fills your home. Be it the new statement chairs you’ve bought or the new couch that complements your theme. But when it comes to gardens, people tend to forget that furniture can accentuate the green spot of your home. The reason is that it not only brings a pop of color but also gives your garden a more relaxing feel. Patio furniture of all kinds will look great in a garden.

The texture, color, and type of the furniture depend upon the theme of your garden. If your garden lacks color, your furniture should have a pop of color. If you have a garden filled with colorful flowers, keep the furniture neutral. This outdoor garden idea comes with a bit of pricing but will justify every penny you’ve spent.

Showpieces for the garden
Not just your interior, but your garden, too, needs some flaunting. Showpieces, figurines, or seasonal plants placed on a shelf or a slab look extremely chic. This outdoor garden idea is one of a kind since not many people have given it a thought. And only because this off-beaten idea doesn’t strike people’s minds easily.

Once you put some figurines in the garden, you’ll know what we’re talking about. If you’re not a fan of figurines in general, we’d suggest you buy a patio shelf that can be attached to one of the walls and keep the ornamental plants above the shelf.

Best out of waste
This outdoor garden idea can be implemented in tandem with the one above. If your budget doesn’t allow you to invest in some serious shelf or several figurines, you can use whatever’s available to you. An old mug, a used colander, a jug, or anything that you’re done using can contain a plant. This step adds a lot of color to the garden and, at the same time, makes your garden look quirky. Remember, this method can also be considered when you don’t want to invest in something serious without giving it a try.

Lighting
This outdoor garden idea becomes useful once the sun dips down. Lighting provides a garden with some degree of safety when you want to walk in the dark. Apart from safety measures, garden lighting does an impeccable job of enhancing the look and feel of the plants. Before installing any kind of lights, make sure you have in mind the purpose of these lights.

For example, if you have a plan to eat outside in the garden, illuminating lights would be the best for vision. But if you simply want to keep the bits and pieces of morsels away from the garden and want to highlight your hard work, pendant lights will do the job.

Lanterns are also a great choice when you want to add an old rustic charm to your garden. However, if all these lights are feeling overweight in your pockets, invest in some ad-hoc lights. These kinds of lights are basically wireless, meaning no additional construction is required to have an electrical connection.

Bed of roses
Life’s not a bed of roses, but your garden can be. Installing flower beds in a garden when you lack space can add a lot of bloom to the garden. This outdoor garden idea is one of the best space-saving solutions out there. Installing beds can arrange your flowers and also add a pop of color in the coming spring. If space still poses an issue with beds, try adding height and length in the garden rather than width. This idea can also be implemented when you have space in the garden because it keeps your blooms organized. This will also help in knowing which bed to water, manure, and look after a certain way.

Pergolas
We’ve talked about this stunning installation a lot many times in our previous blogs. And why not when pergolas provide the needed shade, chic factor, and all the style you need? We love having serious pergola goals, but in order to reach them, we have to know the kinds of goals you have. If sitting out on the chair and table and enjoying a stunning view is your goal, we’d suggest you opt for a wooden pergola. These pergolas provide an aesthetic feel to your garden.

However, the drawback with these is that once the wood gets wet, it will drip sap over all the chairs and tables underneath it, which is not a good sight. Also, wooden pergolas come with a lot of maintenance. Instead, opting for an aluminum pergola will ensure you don’t have to stick around 24×7 to savehese structures. They look chic and are durable. They also stay the same forever with little to no maintenance. We are laying stress on aluminum pergolas because most of our clients are working, and we know how important it is for them to look after their gardens without cutting down their quality time.

Gardens are a huge responsibility. But what is the use of investing time in it when the garden looks just the same? These tips will for sure work wonders if implemented correctly. The best part of some of them is that they don’t need a lot of time and effort on your part. After reading the list, we’re sure you must have found one or two ideas that can be implemented in your garden.

We wish you all the green luck in the world.
