Minimalist Garden

Minimalist house design currently affects the garden design. Take your time choosing the style of this minimalist garden. Minimalist impressed because although we also have a neat design that will make a unity of design between the buildings and gardens.

Basically, minimalist gardens also have the same concept with the minimalist design of the building. Horizontal and vertical lines on the garden design will influence the building style. From here you might ask, what makes this garden called minimalist garden?

A minimalist garden has a little decorative element. In other words, the value of a minimalist garden not depends on decorative ornaments. As a result, the garden will look more beautiful, clean, tidy with fine lines, and simple in design. So from these results is what makes this garden in harmony with the style of the building.

From the hard elements are also very clean and neat look, because the force of this garden has a flat field. Use gravel or flat round, paving block, grass block and is often used as a complement garden.

What about the type of vegetation? Selection of vegetation would not like the tropical-style garden variety, but should choose plants that have slow growth. Vegetation is like Cambodia, Ylang-ylang, Yellow Bamboo, Yellow Iris, Pine, and so forth.

For example we design a patch of grass with a Cambodian or Pine trees are placed in the middle of the grass. Sprinkle a flat natural stone or oval around the grass, as well as a drainage barrier (water flow). We can also give a yellow iris plants along the wall that looked empty and give a tree as the center point.

Oops … there are two weaknesses of minimalist garden, which is monotonous impression of the garden (because only a little vegetation and harsh elements) and less optimal charm that comes with this garden.
