COURTYARD GARDENS

Courtyards bring nature inside. These areas are seen every day and they are an intimate living space.

Courtyards of any nature bring nature inside. These areas are seen every day and they are an intimate living space. Courtyard design is very varied and relates to what the courtyard is going to be used for and what areas of the home it impacts. Courtyards can be just plane paved areas with some simple pots or they can be a combination of both paving and or pavers and planting . Water features are a very welcome element to courtyards.

The garden maintenance of a courtyard is extremely important as the last thing you want in your home is a dishevelled poor looking garden right where you are every day.

Keeping the design of your courtyard up to date is something to consider and a few courtyard garden upgrades will be needed every so often. For example replace an old fashioned looking water feature to a more updated type water feature . Remove some of the old coastal type plants and replace them with lovely and hardy indigenous plants .

A courtyard redesign is a great project to tackle before the Easter or July holidays. Get your courtyard looking gorgeous before all your upcountry family arrive!
