Tips to make garden look wider

[LIZS]

We have someone working on part of our garden , clearing years of weeds and dead tree stumps. As he is working his way down it looks wider. Area is approximately 120' long by 30'max width. Bearing in mind it is a fairly blank canvas apart from the odd shrub and we already have a functional garden nearer the house with patio and grass, separated by a fence at the moment from the area beign worked on, are there any tips to visually try and make it seem wider. Is it worth segmenting the new part so that, say, the bottom third is a play area designated in a different ground finish to rest. Not sure if curves of path/beds/features would be better than straight lines across iyswim

Overmatting blusone? That would work brilliantly in a diagonal.

Perhaps the OP could mow her lawn in horizontal rather than vertical stripes? If her garden is the equivalent of, say, a size eight, it should be able to carry the look off nicely.

Shikly hemp worrier - are you MADE of money?

Some of us are in the middle of a recession you know

OP - much cheaper and just as nice to go for the newberry blunder fury. It grows just as fast but smells nicer.

The girth on a shorter object always appears wider. Its an optical illusion.

Shiney - well I must admit (tas been a long time for me...) but I do agree with you on that one!!!

Shorten your garden. Plant a maze of skinny bushes at the bottom.

Look Shiney, you'll be giving LIZS a complex about her garden now. Maybe she prefers it being more of a tonsil-tickler? Nothing wrong with that.

erecting large mirrors as fences on both sides makes it look bigger

aaa but shiney there's no point in having on or the other seeing as OP already has length, strongly reccomend increasing girth width

I like a bit of honeysuckle meself.

i thought it was only objects in the rearview mirror that appeared like that

close crop all over might make it look better

I have had a good leader shiney!

Finally we agree on something Shineon.

Phew, blimey I thought I had my first MN ruck on my hands there!

yea, couldn't think of anything better to do. trying to gain inspiration to crop my bush
