Giving Your Garden A Lift: 3 Impactful Ways To Create A Multi-Level Effect
Did you know that an upstairs garden is one of the most chic additions to a home in 2025?
It’s a hard kind of renovation to pull off, as most people don’t have the space for a garden both upstairs and down - and floating gardens are incredibly difficult even for the pros to pull off!
But you can add a multi level effect to your current garden space, which will turn it into the kind of truly zen zone you can enjoy.
As such, here are three impactful (and not too challenging) ways to achieve a multi level garden.
Extend Your Deck
Most gardens have a deck or patio. If you extend this area to jut out just a few more slats or stones, you’ll have a much more dramatically leveled tier system in your garden. It might eat into the lawn a bit, but that’s exactly the kind of thing you need here!
And an extended deck means you get a lot more use out of your garden space. It’s dry ground you can always rely on, so you can head outside to use it even if there’s been some waterlogging in the soil.
Plus, it’s easier to keep your back garden furniture in good condition when they have a dry seating area to stand on too!
Fit a Back Yard Balcony
If you’ve got space for a balcony on the exterior of your master bedroom, why not fit one?
With a balcony, you get the chance to have a terrace area where you can place potted plants, chairs and table, and get the best of the sunshine when it’s out. After all, you’re closer to it than you are on the ground floor!
Of course, a balcony upgrade can be quite the undertaking - for one, you’ll need to properly coat it with balcony waterproofing to make sure it doesn’t get washed away in the first storm.
But seeing as balconies don’t have to be big places, you can keep such a project on the budget friendly side with a bit of careful planning!
Build an Above Ground Water Feature
Water features don’t have to go in the ground! You can get above ground swimming pools, so why not get an above ground pond or rock pool in your garden too?
It adds a bit of a marine scene to an otherwise green and muddy space, where you can always see the fish in your pond swimming around. If you like Koi carp, this is a good way to prevent the wildlife from getting to them as well!
A feature like this is a great centerpiece for an otherwise boring, flat garden. You can even dig it into the ground just a bit, to make sure it doesn’t look unnaturally placed. Then, decorate it with all the plants and rocks you like.
Gardens sometimes need a bit of drama! And nothing does that better than a multi level effect. Make it happen using these additions!
