9 Fascinating Round Garden Ideas to Create a Peaceful Retreat

 Fascinating Round Garden Ideas 



One of the best ways to add beauty and visual interest to your outdoor space is to add a garden bed, and a circular garden can decorate your yard. Circular gardens are visually appealing and bring a great combination of functionality and aesthetics. They provide excellent visibility from any side and are versatile.


1. Zen Round Rock Garden



The beauty of round gardens lies in the uniqueness of their design. In this beautiful circular garden, the primary design element is the rounded rock formation, which has a log as the centerpiece of the design, surrounded by smooth river stones and gravel on the outer layers. The design is complemented by some greenery on the exterior with round manicured shrubs adding to the circular flair of the design. These designs work best in well-kept lawns.


2. Gardens around cottages


Adding cottage garden plants is the perfect way to add some informal flair. The circular design in this flower garden provides a break from the monotony of greenery and flowers. It acts as a walkway and a cool place to allow people to enjoy the beauty of the garden. You can try different centerpieces in this design, like the simple stone centerpiece in this cottage design. A water feature will add a great focal point.


3. Simple green links



A round garden design can be as simple as a complementary feature. This lush garden has ornamental grasses with two round patches of green which add a contemporary look to the entire garden. Patches open up the garden without feeling too open or barren. Creating such green zones can be helpful during children's playtime or social events where you need extra seating.


4. Semi-circular flare


Don't let confined or uneven spaces stop you from trying circular gardens. This small garden has a small semi-circular patch and a small patio. Adding several flower plants completes the space. When choosing plants to complete such a design, go for plants that visually connect the different elements in the space.


5. Round it up with stepping stones



 Adding pavers to your circular garden is the perfect way to create a well-rounded design. In this paved garden, the stairs form a pathway to the circular garden and form part of the garden border. Adding white river stones to the circular garden adds visual interest to the entire design. In addition, the well-trimmed edges of the yard make the design unique.


6. Well defined margins


When creating well-rounded functional spaces, defining the space not only makes it attractive but also makes it easier to maintain. This design uses bricks to define the space of the courtyard. It creates a functional space that can be used for various outdoor events. The garden is characterized by many plants that add to the general aesthetics of the place.


7. Embrace the curves



An irregular space can seem challenging to design, but with the right shape, designing is a breeze. Circular shapes are used in this design to embrace the curves of this irregular courtyard. Two large green patches of ornamental grass leave the space. By using curves, the space creates well-defined linear boundaries that make the garden feel more substantial. The space includes two patio spaces that enclose the design and add a symmetrical balance, while plants on the outside of the form enhance the visual interest.


8. Patio round


A patio is the perfect place to cool off on a hot summer day, and a little greenery can make the space even more welcoming. The circular design is used in the patio, embracing the garden space. Adding potted plants to the patio area adds to the aesthetics. Combining elements such as grass, shrubs, flowers and paving stones makes the garden attractive and creates a well-knit, rounded space.


9. Simple contemporary style



A garden doesn't have to be sophisticated with intricate patterns. A simple garden with just a few plants can do the trick, just like this contemporary-style home. The stone patio is a well-manicured courtyard with a simple oval garden and plants are incorporated to create a peaceful and relaxing outdoor space between the wall and the patio.

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...

Top 10 Early Spring Flowering Shrubs

Early Spring Flowering Shrubs Spring-blooming shrubs and bushes add color to backyards early in the season, attract pollinators and more. 1. Carnelian cherry dogwood Cornus mas, zones 4 to 8 Size: Up to 20 feet tall and wide Welcome spring with bright yellow flowers that appear earlier than those of forsythia. These spring-blooming shrubs prefer full sun or partial shade and prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil. Leaves turn purplish red in fall, and scaly bark adds winter interest. Why we love it: Red fruits are edible, but they're also made into preserves, jellies and slices. Or leave them for the birds to enjoy. 2. Dwarf Russian Almond Prunus tenella, zones 2 to 6 Size: 2 to 5 feet tall and wide This moderate-sized shrub records the growing season with showy rose-red flowers and yellow-orange fall color. It prefers full sun, tolerates a variety of soil types and is very drought tolerant. Ruth's 100 produces lots of flowers on a small plant. Why we love it: Flo...
