The use of various textures in garden design adds interest and dimensionality to the overall aesthetic appearance of your garden. You can use a varied plant palette to add sensuality to your garden. Decorative grasses, such as mondo grass (ophiopogon japonicus), dwarf mondo grass (ophiopogon japonicus kyoto), jaburan grass (ophiopogon jaburan vittatus) and black mondo grass (ophiopogon planiscapus nigrescens) create a soft, waving appearance, especially when planted en masse. Plump, waxy succulents, such as rock roses, euphorbias, kalanchoes and aloes add a sense of fecundity and display beautifully as feature plants. Spiky plants, such as agaves, yuccas and cacti add a theatrical sense to your garden and are best flaunted as feature plants or border plants. Dainty, flowering plants normally add splashes of colour and an almost impish ambience to your garden.

Other materials that can be used to incorporate interesting textured levels into your garden include pebbles, rocks, slate rock, stepping stones, wooden decking, bark chips, concrete screed surfaces and mosaic. Sculptural elements, such as dogon ladders, dogon benches, planters, sculptures and mill stones are also ideal in adding interesting textures to your garden.

The possibilities are truly endless! Our landscaping gurus will astound you with their inspired ideas.
