Our Ten Large Garden Design Ideas for London Gardens are great for homeowners living in the city. If you have a large garden, a professional garden designer can help you maximise this space. The bigger the plot means you have much more potential to explore different garden design styles and planting schemes. An outdoor kitchen and a summer house could also be part of your wish list. Here are Ten Large Garden Design Ideas for London Gardens from Acacia Gardens:
A large garden can benefit from professional design. This will consider your vista (views), the direction your garden faces, and the period of your property. You can be more creative with a bigger plot of land by mixing garden styles, trying out different types of planting, and zoning the land for your favourite activities.
With a big garden, you can be more creative and imaginative with the planting. Dedicate a portion for growing vegetables and herbs. A wildflower meadow would help attract bees and is a brilliant way to keep garden maintenance to a minimum. Shrubs and focal trees are perfect for adding interest and variation.
If you are lucky, you will have a wonderful view from your garden. This vista should be enhanced so that you can enjoy the scenery or a landmark building. A raised platform and a seating arrangement facing in the right direction can help you admire that view.
A big garden can take you on a journey. This could be a winding path leading you down the lawn, through a vegetable plot, and onto a wild meadow. Paths are, therefore, an important part of guiding you through a large plot of land.
Entertainment should be a vital part of a large back garden. If possible, it should be located near the house and the kitchen door. A decked or paved seating area with a large table and a cover over the head would be fabulous.
 If you’re feeling extravagant, you could also include an outdoor kitchen area with a built-in barbecue, grill, sink, and pizza oven.
A pretty pond or a contemporary waterfall feature can enhance a garden and make it feel tranquil and relaxing.
With a big garden, you could add a summer house, an outside office pod a large shed or greenhouse.
Lighting is essential for an ample outside space. You can illuminate key features such as mature trees, water features or decking steps. Sensor lights are a great way to add a layer of security against intruders.
Security is vital, so a sturdy boundary wall or fence is necessary. A strong gate with a secure lock is also a priority. Walls and garden fences can look attractive and become part of the overall garden design, so make sure you add this to your overall garden design cost considerations.
