There are some subtle differences between landscape design and garden design although the two often get interchanged with most people thinking they mean the same thing. 

However, landscaping design refers to the total look and feel of the landscape and involves the layout, layering and positioning of objects - mainly hard landscaping items to achieve a given output. Garden design has to do with the proper distribution of items such as plants and trees in a garden space - mainly soft scaping items. However, since large landscaping projects often involved both landscape and garden design it is easy to see why either is often used for everything. Within your landscape you can have several garden designs and this is becoming more common in bigger or business gardens to create different outdoor mood spaces. There are a number of different garden design styles or themes which can be captured within a landscape design which we will cover in more detail below. DNA Landscapes can help you create or remodel your outdoor space anywhere in Coventry so please get in touch to start the transformation process.

You'll fall for our garden designs!

Because we spend time with you understanding the look and style you're after we find that our designs will capture the garden transformation you're after.

This is particularly useful when deciding on the size of a patio or decking area as you can then appreciate how much lawn or flower bed areas you have in relation to your entertaining area.

Contemporary Modern Garden Design

Contemporary modern is the most used landscape design as it is provides an uncluttered , low maintenance garden yet provides modern elegance. This design is flexible and can be adapted to most gardens regardless of their size and space. A contemporary modern garden design will utilise modern materials so pathways and patios often use porcelain or slate slabs, Decking will typically be composite with steel and glass balustrades along with lighting. Shapes are formed using bushes, trees and patios with certain components having a symmetrical or balancing purpose. The use of planters, sculptures or even a water feature will add more interesting components along with raised borders featuring more exotic plants and small trees.

Natural Landscape Design​

This style is built for those who are big lovers of nature or those who just prefer to create a very informal environment. This layout features the use of natural materials like so patios will typically use sandstone or Indian paving. The design features wavy lines usually between the patio and the grass which gives the style a naturistic style of imperfection. This style is mostly used by relatively large estates and sometimes, firms also incorporate this design into their outdoor spaces. Often there will be some body of water also involved in this layout where both the plants in the water and those surrounding it will look as though they have been in situ for years as this is naturally where they were formed. 

Mediterranean Garden Design

As its name implies, this garden-style originated from the Mediterranean. It involves gravel pathways laid around and between a huge body of water. There is usually a lake spread across the landscape (but a pond will suffice in a garden), with well defined concrete partitions and well-trimmed bushes at the edges, and a structure in its centre. It can also be decorated with colourful tiles and terra-cotta sculptures. The designs are aimed to create a dated look and feel, with just little touches of conventional or contemporary features in it.

English Cottage Garden Design

This design originates from England even though the Romans were the first to use anything close to this design; the style is quite different from the others. The basic criteria is to have a group of small gardens in the whole landscape. Pathways that link to one another are constructed symmetrically in their midst. It could also have stones, structures, and even some art within it. This style is perfect for those who like to relax in the midst of plants, flowers and vegetation but still want “a homely feel”.   ​

Japanese Garden Design

A Japanese style garden is distinctly different to most other styles and is growing in popularity in Coventry as well as across the UK. The objective of a Japanese garden is to create an environment which exudes  peace and tranquillity. One of the main components of a traditional Japanese garden is flowing water. typically flowing over stones. As well as stones in the water additional stones and rocks are used along with a selection of trees, such as Acers, shrubs and flowers. In addition grass, moss and bamboo will often feature. To create a small flowing stream will generally require a gradient or slope for the water to flow down so if you have a flat garden you may want to create some layering.

  • How do you choose the right plants for your garden design?

    Choosing the right plants for your garden design involves careful consideration of various factors. Firstly, you need to assess the climate and weather conditions of your region, as different plants thrive in different environments. It is important to select plants that are suitable for the amount of sunlight, temperature, and rainfall your area receives. Additionally, you should consider the size and layout of your garden, as certain plants may require more space to grow or may complement each other aesthetically. Furthermore, you need to think about your personal preferences and the purpose of your garden. Are you looking for plants that are low-maintenance or ones that bloom with vibrant colors? Are you aiming to create a peaceful retreat or a vibrant and lively space? By considering these factors and doing research on the specific needs and characteristics of different plant species, we can help you make informed decisions and choose the right plants that will thrive in your garden design.

  • What are some essential elements to consider when designing a garden?

    When designing a garden, there are several essential elements to consider. First, it is important to think about the purpose and function of the garden. Are you looking to create a peaceful retreat, a space for entertaining, or a vegetable garden? This will help determine the layout and features of the garden. Second, considering the climate and the type of plants that thrive in that environment is crucial. Choosing the right plants will ensure their health and longevity. Third, paying attention to the soil quality and drainage is essential for the success of the garden. It is important to test the soil and make any necessary amendments to provide the best growing conditions. Lastly, incorporating elements of design such as color, texture, and focal points can greatly enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the garden.

  • How do you incorporate sustainable practices into your garden designs?

    Incorporating sustainable practices into garden design involves several key principles. First, it is important to choose native plants that are well-adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, as they require less water and maintenance. Utilizing organic and natural fertilizers and pest control methods can also minimize harm to the environment. Implementing water-saving techniques such as drip irrigation and rainwater harvesting systems can help conserve water resources. Additionally, incorporating composting and recycling systems can reduce waste and provide nutrient-rich soil for the garden. Lastly, creating habitats for beneficial insects and wildlife can promote biodiversity and ecosystem health. By following these sustainable practices, garden design can not only be aesthetically pleasing but also have a positive impact on the environment.
