First, you will want to protect the garden from becoming too much of a danger to your children. You can do this by installing gates that will close in all but the most essential areas. Also, keep in mind that larger children may be able to scale the fence. If you have climbing plants, you may need to get them help to climb up the fence. The gate can also be used to block stray birds or pests that might end up in the garden area.
Second, when planning the garden area surrounding your house, you will want to plan in advance how you will eliminate any potential hazards. For example, you will want to plant trees, shrubs, flowers and bushes to minimize pest damage. You will want to place these items in areas where they will be visible to your children. This can be done by building a walkway or wall around your home so that pets, children and other people will not be able to access certain areas. You will also need to carefully plan out the placement of trees and shrubs so that they will not grow too close together.
Third, you will also want to pay attention to the lighting in your garden. Lighting can help deter pests and help you easily find what you are looking for. It can also make a difference in how much privacy you and your family get outdoors. It is a good idea to consult a professional garden designer when deciding how to best illuminate your garden.
Fourth, you will need to pay attention to your vegetation and shrubbery. You should limit the amount of trees you have in the area because it can attract more insects and animals. You should also trim back any shrubs and bushes that are in poor condition. You should also make sure that any flowers and plants in your garden are getting enough water and sunlight. You can also use natural repellants to keep fleas and ticks away from your plants and flowers.
Fifth, you should plan for the future. You can design your garden so that you can entertain more visitors if you decide to sell your home. This can be done by adding some extra amenities like a gazebo or patio. You can also add security lighting around the perimeter of the area if you want to increase the value of your property.
