Jack Dunckley ... a 5-star luxury design service from start to finish .
With the majority of us looking at staying closer to home this year , it seems that our gardens will once again be the places that will bring us the most joy and peace .
The Jack Dunckley team are starting to see a pattern of trends when it comes to their customer ’ s requests . The most popular desire when it comes to garden design has been that of the low maintenance type , but what does this actually mean and how does one achieve it ? The Low Maintenance Garden combines beauty with practicality and offers a haven that can be enjoyed all year round with minimum effort . Here are some top tips when looking to create this type of garden :
Evergreen Plants Many evergreen plants are stunning and provide colour , texture and structure to garden designs all year round . Evergreens also provide cover and food for birds and can be useful privacy aids if grown as screens .
Low Maintenance Perennials Use perennials that are low maintenance , but will still add a splash of colour such as astilbe , achillea , coreopsis , hostas , echinacea . For aromas and a touch of the Mediterranean utilise herbs such as sage , oregano and rosemary .
Mediterranean Trees Cypress trees , olive trees and palms are all plants that make us think of our holidays and as this year many of us will be having staycations in our own back gardens , it makes sense to bring our holidays to our own home ! Make sure to choose varieties which are evergreen and will hold their structure all year round .
Easy for Cleaning and Weeding The Jack Dunckley team often use porcelain tiles when a design calls for outdoor flooring .
