Design of new gardens

In this last year, with the experience of confinement, we have detected how users have begun to think of their outdoor space as something more habitable and have found new needs to take into account to include in the garden design.

From our experience during the health crisis, we would like to express to you that many of you have made comments to us such as that given the possibility that it could happen again, and given the circumstance that now we are going to travel less, you want to have the appropriate garden to be able to enjoy it functionally. and aesthetically.

Tips for designing new gardens

First of all, when thinking about a garden design for a private home, three factors must be taken into account: the environment, the architecture and personal needs. If these factors are well understood, it is very difficult for the space to not be well adapted for maintenance, durability and personal taste.

The contemporary garden tends to maintain a dialogue with the context, since the site where the garden is located is not an isolated element. For example, the tendency to fill a garden in Madrid with palm trees, creating a tropical atmosphere, generates a shock. too strong with the context and gives us the feeling of being in a theme park. In this sense, we are committed to creating urban and contemporary designs , in which native plants and species are the protagonists. In this way, not only is an aesthetic dialogue with the environment achieved, but also a more sustainable and easy-to-maintain garden.

Sustainability is also a concern at Vetonek, where we have products with minimal environmental impact in manufacturing, as well as some made with materials reused from what are waste materials in other industries to give them a new life.

After analyzing the context or environment, we must understand how the garden will be used and the dialogue with the architecture of the house . We must take into account, whether it is a garden, a landscaping project or a terrace, how it will evolve over time. Have an orientation of how we would like to imagine the garden in the future, as the plants grow (we must know the care and work of each of them) or as the furniture and materials age. Decoration, lighting, exterior architecture and even façade modifications are also part of the design of the space.
