Garden maintenance and design: Tips for debris management and landscape planning

Garden maintenance and design experts offer advice on managing outdoor spaces effectively. For seasonal cleanup, using a wood chipper can transform piles of autumn branches into useful mulch for shrubs, trees, or paths. Electric models, such as those from Riwall or Scheppach, are suitable for smaller gardens, while gasoline-powered versions are better for larger properties due to their mobility and power.

Regarding garden design, landscape designer Ferdinand Leffler of Flera Studio warns against common mistakes driven by social media trends. He emphasizes that gardens should be designed for the owner's lifestyle rather than for aesthetic appeal to neighbors. Leffler advises homeowners to observe their land's specific conditions—such as sun exposure, wind, and soil quality—before beginning any major planting or construction projects.
