The Italian garden is a garden that has a strong impact on those who visit it, what is mainly striking is the rigor with which it is designed. It is absolutely not a disorganized green space but an area, where the design follows very specific rules. The perspective also takes on an important meaning which guarantees a complete view of the entire garden. The most intense years, during which this type of garden began to develop, were around 1500, the perspective there became linear, and this method spurred new discoveries that then determined the style of the Italian garden. This type of garden requires particular care and dedication, if it is neglected it loses its shape and its beauty, especially as regards the hedges that must follow a well-defined geometric shape. For the design of an Italian garden it is first of all necessary to have a minimum knowledge of the plants that are most representative but also know how to lend themselves well to the design of these forms. Even the garden must, in this case, take on geometric shapes that lead, on the whole, however, to create a natural balance. The purpose of the Italian garden is purely ornamental, the forms given to the evergreens are the most varied and take the name of topiary. The plant used to create these designs requires continuous attention because after giving it the desired shape it is still necessary to cut it with a certain frequency so that it does not become too thick and ends up making the shape that was given to it ‘disappear’. Often, visiting old Italian villas, one has the opportunity to admire these impressive examples of Italian gardens of which one is fascinated and surprised, and admiring them one would like to reproduce the same thing at home but to evaluate the effective and concrete possibility of to have an Italian garden it is always necessary to contact specialized companies.

The Italian garden is characterized precisely by its rigorous, precise and well-finished shapes, those who decide to have it must be immediately aware of the maintenance it requires and possibly not be able to take care of the plants or not. if he has time, he will certainly have to estimate the cost of a gardener as well. Without a person who takes care of the garden seriously, plants would lose their shape and beauty over time. The design phase is very important because the garden must be adapted to the space available, once it was only the wealthy gentlemen who had hectares of land adjacent to their home who decided to transform it into a precious Italian garden. Today few people have such huge spaces, but alternatively, you could always find the right solution. The specialized company must first carry out an inspection to verify the exposure of the land and its size. The task will then be carried out by competent people who will take care of indicating what will be the best arrangement of the plants and how to divide the various areas so that each is perfectly visible. The customer, in this phase, has a very important role because he must immediately realize if the project presented can be to his liking or if he wants to make changes. Usually the designer and the client choose the species for the garden together because it is the client’s wishes that must be satisfied. It is important to remember that first of all you need to think about the well-being of the plant if you want it to last for a long time, so it will be necessary to choose it based on the climatic conditions, the type of soil and the sun exposure. Design becomes fundamental today also to define a priori the irrigation system, which today is usually chosen in the automatic and underground version. Thanks to numerous programs on the computer, the customer can also see in 3D what his garden will be when the work is completed.

As for the costs related to the design and construction of an Italian garden, first of all, the size of the garden must be taken into account and then the species that have been chosen, the rarer they are, the higher the price. The estimate is used to inform the customer about the possible costs to be incurred without forgetting the maintenance of the garden itself. Those who have a strong passion for gardening and perhaps have a rather limited space, can also decide to try their hand at making it themselves, in this case the only cost to be incurred will be that of purchasing the plants.
