Who wouldn’t like to have a house in the garden? Where the air is fresh and the plants are growing right under your feet. A dream? Actually, it became a reality thanks to the Nicolas Tye Architects projects. Their house is located in Bedfordshire, England.

The house is made from completely user and eco friendly materials, it looks really amazing and it doesn’t have a single excess details.

This house is actually an office building and I would die to work in a place like this – complete serenity and relaxation. Love the idea!

I am ready to bet that most big cities dwellers don’t have enough fresh air, enough time to have a walk in the park, they don’t walk at all, they won’t know a rose form a dandelion and DO believe that eggs come from trees. Don’t laugh, most of us live in big cities and see real nature very very seldom or there is enough nature for us in the nearest park. However, you can be closer to nature right now, you have to … plant a tree at home. What I am talking about? A backyard? No. Thanks to the Serralunga it is possible to have your own tree at your own home and grow it in a simple vase.

The following company has been always focusing on creativity and innovations, most of their products are highly unique and one of a kind. They not only take care of details but create really unusual and functional things.

The following tree comes with its own vase and it can be place literally everywhere. One thing I love the most about these Missed trees is the way the manufacturers have combined technical aspects and the beauty of nature. Such a tree is designed by Jean-Marie Massaud and it is a completely recyclable one.

Your back or front yard is the brightest expression of your style and design preferences. It is a nice way to say “welcome to my home.” However, a pretty landscape is important not only to your guests but to you and your family as well. It is such a fun to sit there and enjoy life as it is. Hope, the following tips will help you to make your patio looking much better than it is.

plan

There is no need in a professional landscaper if you have your own plan. In order to create it you have to spend some time surfing the web and finding out the types of plants that grow best in your climate. That is the first question to solve. Then visit your local garden center and consult them. Buy a couple of how-books, enjoy pictures and imagine. Lay your plan and don’t forget the details.

budget

Of course, you should think about it. But don’t let it to limit your ideas. You’d better understand that if trees and plants can cost you a fortune, they shouldn’t grow in your garden. There are a lot of plant and tree giveaways. I am ready to bet a lot of people and neighbours will be glad to share their plants with you, because in a couple of years you will do the same.

size

While creating a plan and thinking what kind of trees, flowers and bushes to plant, understand the size of your patio.

style

There are numerous styles of patio and you should find the one that will suit namely your taste.

professionals

In order not to waste your time (in case you are not a designer at all) and not to spend thousands of dollars on super expensive workers, I highly recommend you to consult professionals from Phoenix landscaping. They have everything your backyard or garden need – creative thinking, amazing and fresh ideas, as well as budget-friendly decisions.
