We will outline some tips to help your Castle Hill garden and help you move ahead from the landscape garden design stage to landscaping & construction. Plant selection is an obvious element in every garden, so we’ll provide a beginner’s guide to landscape garden design, covering everything from planning and design to horticultural plant selection and ongoing maintenance.

The first stage in designing your Castle Hill garden is to consider your space and what you may like to achieve within it. This includes the measurements and shape of your garden. Take into account any existing features such as trees, rocks, or slopes. These should be considered at the brief stage with your designer and not left until the end.

Consider how you want to use your new garden space to suit your lifestyle. For example, what area do you want to relax? Where will you want to spend time entertaining? Should this area be close to the house or undercover for shade? Where do you want to have garden space or room for plants?

Create a rough layout or map of your garden and map out these key areas first. Other lifestyle areas to consider include a seating area, outdoor pots, a water feature or room for outdoor furniture. Before you know it you can see how valuable the services of a Castle Hill landscape designer will be.

Once you have a rough plan for your new outdoor space, think about the different design elements that will bring your new outdoor lifestyle to life. Here are some key design elements to consider:

CASTLE HILL HARDSCAPING
These are the harder/non organic areas of your garden. Common hardscaping areas include such as pathways, retaining walls, decks and purpose built shade areas such as pergolas & patios. Consider using materials that complement your home’s architecture and the end color scheme, such as stone, brick, timber or concrete. Often it is best to also consider what works well in your suburb. Have a walk around Castle Hill for ideas.

CASTLE HILL SOFTSCAPING
Softscaping considers the living features of your new garden. Examples include such as trees, shrubs, bushes & flowers. We recommend selecting plants that thrive in the local Castle Hill climate and soil conditions. Consider the Genius Locii of the area when considering color, texture, and bloom time when selecting plants. Make sure that all your plants match the soil conditions and exposure of your land.

WATER FEATURES
Adding a water feature to your Castle Hill home such as a fountain, pond, or waterfall can create a tranquil and inviting outdoor feel for your new Hills District garden.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING
Outdoor lighting will help you use the garden at night - doubling your lifestyle benefit. Adding outdoor lighting often creates a warm and inviting ambiance for your garden where you can focus on the outdoor living spaces as well as the garden beds and pots. Outdoor lighting also provides safety and security.

Once you have a plan for your different design elements, it’s time to start implementing them in your outdoor space. It is best to start by preparing the soil by adding new organic soil and planting any larger plants such as trees or shrubs. You may consider building garden beds or raised planters or adding a range of outdoor pots to create different focal points and heights for your garden design.
Whether you decide to go DIY or using professionals, always think ahead and realise that the plants will grow. Leave enough space for pathways and other hardscaping features to remain unobstructed.

CASTLE HILL PLANTING PLAN
When choosing plants for your new Castle Hill landscape garden, make sure you consider factors such as sun exposure, shading, garden orientation, soil type and ph balance, and ongoing water and irrigation needs.
Choose a variety of plants that balance with each other and your microclimate.
Selecting plants isn't just about appearance, which is why we always recommend the advice of a horticulture expert. They will make sure the selections also have similar watering requirements. Native plants have become more popular as they are often water tolerant and attract local wildlife such as butterflies and birds.

ONGOING CARE & MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR CASTLE HILL GARDEN
Maintenance is important to make sure your new Castle Hill garden thrives into the future. Be sure to water your plants regularly and we recommend an automated watering or irrigation system. Ongoing organic fertilizers will give your plants the nutrients to grow and stay healthy.
Pruning trees, shrubs & hedges will maintain their shape and long term health. Your maintenance team will also keep your garden tidy by removing weeds and debris regularly.

As you can see, there is a lot to consider when designing your new Castle Hill landscape garden. It can be a rewarding experience if you have the time and knowledge. Alternatively, we recommend using the services of a Castle Hill landscaping company. They will provide the right planning and design advice, as well as mange your installation & construction phase. This will make sure your garden is designed and installed by the right team of professionals.
