You home’s appearance is a direct reflection on your tastes and standards and nothing speaks louder than the appearance of your landscape. A neat and tidy yard with informal gardens conveys an entirely different impression than a flamboyant property with a wide variety of trees and plants. The first might belong to a person who is busy, efficient and values structure where as the second may indicate somebody with more creativity, flair and a passion for gardening. Both would indicate a strong pride of ownership and give a good clue on the care taken within the house.
Some homeowners use their gardens for entertaining friends and family. Here you would likely find a display of decks, gazebos and cabanas arranged to enhance the enjoyment of pools or hot tubs. Garden furniture and a BBQ would complete this picture. For others the garden is a place of quiet relaxation and enjoyment of nature. They will have comfortable shaded areas suited for reading favourite books or even a nap. This is where you may find a fish pond or a simple waterfall. Many gardens are set up for children’s activities with swings and play apparatus. Folks who enjoy solitude and privacy are likely to have fences or hedges while the more gregarious will leave the property open to encourage meeting neighbours for a little chat. An abundance of berry bushes, fruit trees or a vegetable plot tells yet another story.
The next time you go for a walk consider how closely the garden is a reflection of your neighbour’s personality and what message your garden conveys. .
