Updated: May 5, 2022



Spring is here in Hockessin, Delaware which means it's time to get your garden looking amazing for the 2022 season. Trying to choose a garden style can feel overwhelming, so we made a guide with two simple garden styles that work well with the architecture of most houses.

1. Contemporary Garden

Contemporary gardens have increased in popularity as more homeowners are drawn to the bold yet minimalistic vibe these outdoor spaces create. Contemporary gardens are categorized by their geometrical shapes and angular lines along with simple and well-maintained vegetation. They are often monochromatic with neutral tones, but they can easily be spiced up with a bright pop of color. This style is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a sleek and easy to maintain outdoor living space.


2. Cottage Garden

Homeowners have enjoyed the bright colors and beautiful blooms of cottage style gardens for years. They are defined by their informal structure and dense arrangements of colorful flowering plants. They may appear disorganized, but they do require a bit of maintenance. If you adore cottage gardens as much as we do, but you don't have much of a green thumb, you can always invest in an automated watering system or a lawn maintenance service. You can also ask the professionals installing your plants, as they should have extensive knowledge on the plants' care.


Choosing a Garden Style

The most important factor when choosing a garden style for your home is your personal taste! Some prefer sleek and simple, while others enjoy dense arrangements of colorful plants. Perhaps your perfect garden is a combination of both! Another thing to consider is your home's architecture. In order to create an outdoor space that is cohesive with the home itself, you might consider incorporating the same colors, textures, shapes or materials from the house into the garden.
