A garden with a height difference instantly adds depth and dynamism to your outdoor space. It not only gives the garden a unique look, but also provides functional possibilities. Think terraces, raised borders and play areas on different levels. Whether you have a natural slope or want to create an artificial difference in height, the possibilities are endless. Read how to make the best use of height differences here.

How do you elevate your garden?

Raising your garden can be done in several ways. One popular method is to build terraces. This divides the garden into levels, each with its own function. For example, a raised terrace for a seating area or a lower section for a path or border. Raised borders are also useful; they add height and make garden maintenance easier. Just make sure there is good drainage so no water stays on the higher parts.

How do you create depth in a garden with height differences?

Depth in your garden is created not only by levels, but also by the right layout. Place taller trees or shrubs at the back of the garden and lower plants at the front. This will make your garden appear deeper. Diagonal lines in the paving can also help create more space optically. These lines guide the eye through the garden, making the different layers more visible.

Planting for a garden with a height difference

A garden with height differences offers interesting opportunities for planting. In raised borders, drought-resistant plants such as lavender and ornamental grasses do well. In lower areas, where the soil remains moist for longer, you can choose plants such as ferns or hostas. Combining plants of different heights and textures creates a dynamic effect.

Seating in a garden with a height difference

Elevations are ideal for creating different seating areas. Consider a raised terrace for a dining table or lounge set, while a lower corner offers a quiet shaded area. By creating seating areas on different levels, you make the best use of the available space.
