Fall Makeover Ideas for Garden Seating Areas

After the summer, while the weather starts to cool, it can be the right time to examine and assess your garden. What worked well during the current season, and what did not go exactly as planned?

With your growth and leisure areas, it can be the right time to think about what you would like to keep the same for next year, but also how things could be improved. It is also the right time to consider the changes that you can now bring to take advantage of your garden in the fall, both for this year and in the future.

Add additional plantations around garden seat rooms

Perhaps the most common error that people make when planning and creating seats in their gardens are to neglect or neglect the importance of the surrounding plantation.

The planting scheme around a seating area can make or break the space, having a major influence on the function of the area and its atmosphere.

The good balance between plantations

In terms of function, for example, trees and shrubs can project beneficial shadow, but when they are invaded, they can encroach too much and exceed the area.

However, without a dense plantation and in layers around it, a seating area can often feel too open, either exposed to the winds and other weather conditions, or exposed to the Neighbors’ eyes.

Thus, the addition of additional plantations could help improve privacy and house a lounge area more effectively so that it can be used more frequently during the shoulder season. The addition of native shrubs or trees to filter the wind and break the lines of view can make a big difference in the function of space.

Plant to engage the senses

Addes to planting around a seating area could also improve the atmosphere. Thinking carefully about how to involve all the senses can help you create a lounge area with the perfect atmosphere. Consider adding fragrant flowers; Think of plants with visual appeal or unique touch qualities. Accentuating the area with pots in pots is a great way to add interesting plants to space – and they can be brought inside when the frost arrives.

Remember that for the aesthetic attraction and for fauna, ideally, you should have flowering plants in your garden throughout the year as possible. Fall color plantation (flowers and foliage) can make you want to use the lounge area last summer until it is too cold.

Improve the management of patio and paving water

Another important consideration when trying to improve the salons of the garden is the way water is managed in and around this area. It is important to know if the area has a permeable paving or if the water extends from the area.

And if the water extends from the area, how could you prevent runoff and catch this water and keep it, or keep it away from areas where it could cause problems?

Add a permeable paving

If you are in a mood for an ambitious project, you can lift a waterproof paving and replace it with an ecological permeable paving alternative. You can also keep the existing paving, but note where the water flows from the paved lounge area.

Create a water function

In areas where water flows, you could create a beautiful rain garden pool with native plants. Or you can create a French drain or another system to direct water to a wildlife pond or to another characteristic of water in your garden.

Harvest water

If the lounge area is close to you, consider integrating the rainwater harvest in the area. You could simply collect rainwater from the homemade gutter using a barrel or a water stock. But you could also create beds in wick to catch and store water while cultivating food – the beds that come can be integrated into bench places.

Add durable versatile features

Other ideas revolve around the introduction of greater multifunctionality.

In a lasting garden, each element must have several functions, and there should be several elements to fulfill each function so that there is integrated redundancy to add resilience to the system.

To improve a lounge area for the fall, you could consider adding new seats or covering the area with a new pergola, a Gazebo or another structure. Remember to add multifunctional elements each time you add something new is a good idea.

For example, a lounge area can be created to provide storage space for garden tools, plant pots, children’s toys or other items under chairs or in benches. Benching squares can also open to reveal sandblas, hollows of water or other playgrounds in a family garden.

A pergola, a gazebo or a barrel structure could also be used to support a line for drying to laundry. It could provide trellis structures for plants. It could also provide a structure from which you can hang bird feeders and other characteristics for a garden favorable to wildlife.

Often when we think of a lounge area, we really consider only tables and chairs. However, the use of more holistic reflection in design can help you improve a lounge area while bringing together many different multifunctional elements.
