Garden inspi­ra­tion: Walls in the garden

Walls as borders and privacy screens

Privacy is parti­cu­larly important in a personal retreat in the open air. Walls can be used to enclose the garden and at the same time protect it from prying eyes. However, this privacy screen made of a wall does not have to look boring or rest­ric­tive, because depen­ding on the type of wall and mate­rial used, such a boun­dary can be harmo­niously inte­grated into the garden design and blends in natu­rally with the surroun­dings. Natural stone walls in parti­cular create a natural effect and are also a deco­ra­tive element in the garden. In combi­na­tion with carefully selected plan­ting, a natural stone wall becomes a special eye-catcher in the garden. Each of these walls is unique and, depen­ding on the choice of stone, can range from a Medi­ter­ra­nean to a modern ambi­ence.

However, walls made of exposed concrete are also on trend and can be realised as a design element in the garden. The modern mate­rial is a real high­light in combi­na­tion with lush gree­nery. The straight lines can be broken up by plan­ting under­neath the wall, crea­ting a modern yet playful look.

Wooden privacy screens are a good choice as they save space and are parti­cu­larly light­weight. The walls often consist of indi­vi­dual vertical elements made of wood or metal, which are connected by wooden slats.

Support and conceal slopes

Walls are often used on uneven terrain and to enclose the garden. They level out the diffe­rent levels and ensure that the entire garden area can be utilised. At the same time, retai­ning walls are neces­sary to support slopes. The slopes can also be enhanced with attrac­tive plan­ting so that the wall blends harmo­niously into the garden design.

Seat walls — deco­ra­tive and prac­tical

Small walls in the garden are a special eye-catcher and can also be used as seating. The wall can also be used as a surface for deco­ra­tions, contai­ners and lanterns. Plan­ting flowe­ring peren­nials, grasses or herbs will further break up a stone wall and blend harmo­niously into the garden design.

Crea­tion of space through walls

A wall can be used to orga­nise a garden in an indi­vi­dual way and divide it into diffe­rent areas. Parti­cu­larly in large gardens, where a boring lawn often domi­nates, a wall creates an inte­res­ting divi­sion of space and gives the garden even more of the character of a versa­tile outdoor living room. Low walls main­tain the spacious­ness and expan­si­ve­ness, but the diffe­rent garden areas are connected by a special high­light. The wall as a room divider becomes a striking, deco­ra­tive and yet discreet element in the garden.

Lighting the walls

Thanks to a lighting concept, it is also possible to extend the inte­rior to the outside in daylight. Indi­rectly illu­mi­nated walls in parti­cular create a sense of space after sunset and provide a special ambi­ence. Outdoor lights are available in diffe­rent designs and the elec­tro­nics can be installed during the remo­del­ling so that the wiring is not visible. In combi­na­tion with illu­mi­nated paths and indi­vi­dual trees, a beau­tiful open-air space is created even at night.
