56 Gardening Love your lawn by Angie Barker If you are looking to revamp your garden but don’t want to spend a fortune – a simple trick is to reshape your lawn. Your sward does not have to resemble a football pitch either to instantly look better with a new shape and the edges defined. It is amazing what a difference it can make to your garden space. First of all consider what shape would best suit your plot. A circular lawn makes a real statement and adds movement, drawing the eye. They are great for small gardens because they make the space feel larger. Curves are good for creating a calming feel in the garden and for dealing with slopes. Don’t be tempted though to make the curves too tight as they can make the garden look fussy – go for sweeping curves which will also be easier to mow. Straight lines can form bold geometric patterns which are more suited to a contemporary style but can look equally as good. Square stepping stones laid through turf can be a practical and eye catching way of navigating from one part of the garden to another and children love them! If you have a wide but short plot, try shaping the lawn so that the grass gets narrower as it gets further away from the house. It creates the illusion that the garden is actually longer than it is – nifty! Consider installing a brick mowing edge to give further definition and to stop plants which outgrow their border space from spilling out over the lawn and killing off the grass. So give it a try – and if you have a spare corner in the garden somewhere, perhaps at the back of
57 a border, you can stack the turf you’ve removed and after a few months it will rot down and can be returned to the garden. As for my lawn – I’m a curvy kind of girl (Hubby chuckles to himself) and have circles and curves which create a meandering feel to my little haven and give me more border space for planting. Yes, I have to admit it - I love my lawn.
