Proposed Garden Design

I have found a simple design, but yet elegant (perasan pulak) .....however due to my budget constraint....the idea hopefully can be implemented next year.....



A minimal maintenance garden design - guna power point je, mana ada software nak sketch ni

Garden design ideas

I'm currently looking for ideas for my backyard. Initially, I wanted to have a simple garden with phillippine grass, and few plants for easy maintenance, but then suddenly teringin nak ada water features, but definately a NO NO this time sebab kids are still small. It's either jadi tempat kanak-kanak ribena baling batu, or jadi tempat diorang berendam pulak...ini mmg huge safety issue. But just to list my preferances :

i. Simple garden, with phillipine grass, with plants at the corner of the garden

I like the simplicity, but not so much on the plants kat tepi2 pagar tu....

This is more the type of plant yg I like....looks so refreshing....

ii. Garden with water features. Nice and looks luxury, but dangerous with my small kids

Hoping to have this kinda water feature but not now...tunggu kids besar dulu

iii. Modern and tiled/decking backyard - Nice and looks very expansive!

Huh! Sungguh cun dan menawan!!

iv. Zen Garden - so far, looking into more ideas on this. The reason is that to avoid using too many grass, because heard that grass is not easy to maintain.... Currently doing my own sketching/proposal to my husband because he seem not to like the idea...but a usual, I'll come out with my proposal and will make him agree ... hehe...that's me!

To me, this garden is not too nice, but I like the overall idea, i.e. to have some areas with tiles,
batu, plants, and garden lights etc....

Any ideas, appreciate if you could let me know....

Rumput hiasan

I never had any interest to know about the type of grass suitable for my lawn .... because am currently staying in a condo. But since my new house got some areas to be filled up and of course I won't be converting all those area into tiles, therefore I need to learn a little bit about rumput. My hubby did some research and there are 3 common types of rumput. These are the info that he gathered so far....

1. Cow grass - this is the type of grass that can be found at padang sekolah. Senang nak jaga kot, tapi takde lah cantik pun.

2. Pearl grass @ Rumput mutiara - macam cow grass, tapi kilat, cantik dan mahal. Senang dijaga, tahan lasak dan takkan panjang, sebab dia memanjang ke tepi..... Very low maintenance. Sesuai utk org yg busy a.k.a malas like me. Harga RM1.80 utk 2 kaki persegi in Sg. Buloh, without installation.

3. Rumput carpet @ Japanese grass - I like rumput carpet, but susah nak jaga. Cepat panjang dan perlu penjagaan rapi. Will it suitable for me yg tak pandai hal pokok dan rumput ni? Serangga suka duduk bawah rumput ni because it's cool down there. Harga is RM6 for 2 kaki per segi.

Japanese Grass

This is Philippine Grass, not Japanese Grass. RM1.80 for 2 kaki per segi, same as Pearl Grass.

Below is my backyard. I'm thinking to put Pearl Grass here, and Japanese grass Philippine Grass at my front lawn....
