How long does it take to build a garden on your own? And why do you love us when you come to us for a renovation?
Month: July 2025
Building the garden of their dreams on their own is the dream of many homeowners and gardeners who want everything to be exactly as they imagine it while also saving money. At Dream Garden, we love it when our clients build their own gardens. Why? Because we know that after a while they often come to us with a request for a professional redesign or addition, and we are happy to help take their gardens to a whole new level.
How long does it take to create a garden on your own?
The time needed to create a garden on your own depends on many factors:
The size and complexity of the project
A smaller garden with a simple lawn and a few flower beds can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, while more extensive exteriors with a terrace, Hunter irrigation, drainage, and various features often require months to years of work.
The owner’s experience and time availability
If you have the basics of garden design and only have a few hours a week to spare, the implementation will take longer. It is often the case that people embark on such projects during the weekends.
Materials and technologies used
Laying a seeded lawn or implementing an extensive green roof requires time for rooting and growth. Complex irrigation systems and lighting require professional installation or at least professional consultation.
Why is it worth renovating with Dream Garden?

Custom exterior solutions also for your four-legged friends: dog kennels that match your garden style
Month: July 2025
When designing a modern exterior, we consider not only aesthetics and functionality for the owners, but also the comfort of their four-legged friends. At Dream Garden, we believe that a turnkey garden should be a place where the whole family feels at home—including dogs, cats, and other pets. That’s why we build custom dog houses that perfectly match your garden’s design and become a natural part of your tailored exterior. A dog house in your turnkey garden is a detail that enhances the overall impression while providing comfort for your pet.
Why Choose a Custom Dog House?
- Garden Design and Dog House in One Style:
A custom dog house in your turnkey garden will be tailored to match the architecture of your home, the style of your terrace, the type of wood used, or the color of your fence. Your exterior will remain harmonious and thoughtfully designed down to the last detail. - Quality and Comfort : We build dog houses from high-quality wood, which can be charred on request (using the shou sugi ban technique). This not only gives the house a unique look but also increases its resistance to weather, pests, and mold.
- Individual Solutions:
Every four-legged friend has different needs—size, ventilation, insulation, and placement in the garden. We design the dog house precisely according to your requirements and the needs of your dog or cat.
Charred Wood – Style and Protection in One
The technique of charring wood black is not just an aesthetic trend. Thanks to this process, the wood becomes naturally stabilized and more resistant to water, rot, and pests. In addition, a black dog house looks modern and luxurious, perfectly complementing both minimalist and natural gardens, and becomes a stylish feature of your custom-designed exterior.
Why Dream Garden?
- Turnkey Garden Implementation:
We take care of everything from design to the complete realization of your garden and exterior—including details like a custom dog house, Hunter irrigation, lighting, or establishing a seeded or sod lawn. You can find more of our services on our website. - Personal and Professional Approach:
Every project is both a challenge and a joy for us—we are happy to advise, design, and deliver a solution that will suit you and your four-legged friends.

Feather grass - a delicate grass that brings life to any garden
Month: July 2025
If you dream of a turnkey garden that looks light, natural and modern at the same time, the ornamental grass Stipa tenuissima is the ideal choice. Its delicate stalks sway gracefully in the wind, bringing movement and elegance to your outdoor space. That is why it is increasingly becoming a part of contemporary garden design, whether in a minimalist urban space or a spacious natural plot.
Why include feather grass in your garden design?
Stipa tenuissima, also known as feather grass, stands out for its undemanding nature and ability to adapt to various conditions. Thanks to its delicate appearance, it combines well with perennials, modern flower beds and other grasses. At Dream Garden, we often recommend it to clients who want a turnkey garden with minimal maintenance and maximum aesthetic effect. This grass creates the impression of a golden veil that changes with every breeze and gives the space a unique atmosphere.
Where to plant feather grass and how to care for it?
It thrives best in sunny, well-drained areas where its natural growth can flourish. It is suitable for modern gardens, dry flower beds and larger containers on the terrace. If you are planning a custom garden, be sure to consider combining feather grass with colourful perennials or other ornamental grasses. When planting a carpet or seeded lawn, it becomes a great addition that breaks up the monotony of the area and highlights the structure of the entire exterior.
Hunter irrigation – guaranteed beauty even in summer
To keep your garden beautiful all year round, it is important to think about irrigation. Hunter automatic irrigation systems, which Dream Garden installs as part of its turnkey garden projects, ensure that Stipa tenuissima and other plants always have enough moisture. Modern Hunter irrigation saves water, time and energy and is indispensable, especially when caring for carpet or sown lawns during hot summer days.
Revitalise your garden with Dream Garden
If you want a customised exterior that is not only beautiful but also functional and easy to maintain, contact Dream Garden. We will help you choose plants, design your garden, and take care of the implementation and installation of Hunter automatic irrigation. Your new green space will look natural, modern and comfortable – exactly as you imagined it.
