Negosentro | The Top 4 Ways to Achieve a Stunning & Eco-Friendly Garden Aesthetic | Thankfully, more and more people are finally waking up to the necessity of lowering both their personal carbon footprint and contributing in a positive way to conserving and preserving the natural world around them. 

Whether you have a small and intimate garden, or else are fortunate enough to own an impressively expansive backyard, then there are, fortunately, numerous ways to make your garden both beautiful and environmentally-friendly.

With that being said, here are the top four ways to achieve a stunning and eco-friendly garden aesthetic. 

• Stop Being So Tidy

One of the most important things to remember when admirably designing a more environmentally friendly garden is to stop being so tidy and abandon notions of symmetry. 

Wildlife is, after all, just that – wild – and as a result, letting your compost heap house hedgehogs, your plants and shrubs be home to a myriad of different types of insects, and your plants grow and expand their roots and leaves, means you are helping the natural world thrive. 

• Research the Products You Buy

Just like when a person has discovered they are intolerant, or worse, allergic to a certain allergen, it can sometimes still be incredibly difficult to consistently avoid anything containing that particular substance, when your mission is to create an eco-friendly garden, you need to be just as careful. 

Make sure that you buy any garden furniture or other structures made from composite materials and that you ensure that the company you buy your products from are an ethical, reputable, and renowned company. 

• Conserve Water

You will already be fully aware of the importance of conserving as much energy and water as you possibly can in your home, and it is true to state that, if every household followed this same rule, then the world would certainly be significantly better off. 

The best way to conserve water in your garden is to install yourself, or else hire someone, to install a butt on every single one of your property’s downpipes, making sure you choose a natural wooden style. When you water your plants and flowers, make sure that you water the roots of the plants themselves, rather than letting so much water go to waste by watering the leaves too, and always buy larger pots than needed for your plants, so that they do not dry out in a short time. 

• Choose Natural Pest Control 

There are a variety of incredibly successful methods of naturally controlling various pests in your backyard, without having to resort to harsh and harmful chemicals. 

One of the easiest methods, for example, of removing an infestation of greenflies, is to use a strong and direct powerful jet of water and using natural copper slug rings to place around your prized plants. Other natural pest controls include using rhubarb and garlic leaves to ward off flies and letting your plants grow naturally to encourage more hedgehogs and slow worms into your garden.
