Landscaping your garden office

Landscaping your garden office

By Steven Willis on 19th September, 2011

Our garden offices are designed to make an immediate visual impact on their surroundings, instantly projecting a high quality appeal with beautiful timber cladding and expansive glazing. However, you can make your garden office even more at home with some simple yet effective landscaping techniques.

Pathway

Perhaps the most practical landscaping with regards to a garden office is a pathway, providing easy and clean access in all weathers. Pathways really are a flexible option that can be shaped around your overall landscaping design style, and can range from professionally-laid block paving to a more whimsical stepping stone approach.

Planting

Planting around your garden office is a quick way to make it a firm part of the landscape. Bordered flower beds or low profile shrubs provide an organic visual anchor for the structure, firmly securing it as part of the natural surroundings.

Pot plants on deck

The decking area on our garden offices help create a wonderful sense of indoor/outdoor, especially when the bi-fold doors are opened up. Placing strategically selected pot plants on the deck helps to develop this sense even further, bringing the live, growing nature as close as possible to the structure.

Screening

If your garden office is in a part of the garden that can be effectively considered a different section, then subtle screening may be a good option. Screening, which is the use of plants, trees or attractive features such as bamboo fencing to create a tangible division, can segment the garden into zones for different uses. Rather than acting as a block, screening a garden office is a statement of a functional garden space.

Framing with trees

The symmetrical placement of trees either side of the garden office is a stunning landscaping choice. The clear natural connection between the trees and the structure becomes more and more rewarding as tress grow over the years, framing the garden office in place.
