Modern Garden Design Ideas will help you bring structure, function and flow into your garden. In other words, a good garden does not need more features but better planning.

First of all, decide what use you have for your garden – if you are interested in entertaining guests, create an area for seating on a patio. If your goal is to relax, think about creating privacy around your seating area using taller planting.

The best way to divide your garden into sections is to use natural stone, which can give your garden depth. The combination of black limestone and grey paving can help avoid making your garden too weighty.

Also, do not forget about large format slabs – fewer joints can make your compact garden look bigger and cleaner. Curved path through planting can improve the movement in your garden and give it more natural look.

East Yorkshire Stone offers a range of modern and traditional paving and landscaping materials.

All these tips and ideas can help you to transform your backyard into well-organised and attractive outdoor space.
