Master the art of French garden design with a balanced, symmetrical layout! Start by defining geometric beds with clipped hedges and aligned pathways. Add gravel courtyards, stone urns, or a central fountain to anchor your space. These French garden ideas emphasize order and elegance—use roses, lavender rows, or ornamental trees for color and texture. Whether grand or petite, a French garden lay out turns any yard into a timeless, structured masterpiece.
