There is something special about garden nooks that makes them ideal places to rest and relax on a warm summer’s day. Secluded and quiet, they are the perfect place to gather your thoughts and hide out from the world beyond your yard. Towards that goal, the following hardscape tips will help you design the perfect nook for your home.
Start by picking the right location for your nook. You’ll want to choose an area that has some shade and can be closed off. You can also create closure by using hedges, climbing roses, ivy, and other naturally growing plants that can soften the landscape. This can also be accomplished by created a stepped terrace from stone, concrete, or wood.
You will want to make sure your nook is easily accessible. Thus, make sure you include a pathway in your plans. That pathway should lead to your nook where you will have comfortable seating and a patio table to help you relax.
