About the Video:
The perfect garden for colonial, Italian and French inspired architecture, traditional garden styles focus on symmetry and balance. When I think of a traditional garden, I picture a very formal garden with strong architectural features, wide expanses of perfectly trimmed lawn, rows of orderly clipped hedges, framed views of stone fountains and cleanly edged walkways.

Dominated by green lawn spaces that are balanced by green trees and green shrubs, the classic garden style is usually not filled with color. Many times you’ll see traditional gardens using only white as an accent color.

Traditional design style is very popular and versatile. Traditional designs leave a lot of room for fun, quirky features like life-size chess boards, maze gardens, and yard game areas.
Here are my top tips to nailing the traditional/classic garden style at home:
1. Create symmetry through the repetition of the same plantings on either side of the yard or walkway.
2. Straight lines, straight paths and bold geometric forms
3. Horizontal expanses of green manicured lawn.
4. Minimize your color palette.

Items to Incorporate to get the classic garden style at home (link these)
Pea Gravel: surfacing walks, drives and terraces with inexpensive pea gravel will create a “crunch” when you cross it.

Topiaries: Use potted topiaries as portable sculptures that can be moved around the garden. If you don’t want to deal with pruning, try this artificial 18″ English boxwood topiary: https://amzn.to/2YpvWRJ


Pedestal Urns: Pedestal urns, whether elegant or plain, are the perfect container for traditional garden styles. If you like traditional style you’ll love this sculptural pedestal urn: https://amzn.to/2HF2Bh3

Columns: Use white or stone columns are classic and traditional to the core. Use them as freestanding art, to support arbors and pergolas or to flank gates. Try these lightweight, adjustable height columns: https://amzn.to/2Ouk4tm

Stone Fountains: Classic fountains used at focal points in traditional gardens bring a little bit of movement to the rigid planting structure of traditional gardens. This classic Tuscan garden stone fountain deserves a place in your traditional garden: https://amzn.to/2On6aZM
