Creating an atmosphere of comfort in a city apartment is much easier than on the territory of a private house. The personal plot needs regular care from the owners of housing, because it is here in the warm season of the year that a person spends most of his time.
Divide the site into zones
Zoning the site
The first thing to do to transform the court of your private house is to carefully reflect on what you actually want to see there. Perhaps you dream of creating a garden of incredible beauty or spending a weekend on the shore of a quiet pond with a fishing rod, waiting for luck to smile? Or it is more correct to install a convenient deck chair in the personal territory, in which it will be pleasant to read an interesting book? Or maybe everything at once? For each of these purposes, it is necessary to allocate its place.
Zoning of the territory with screen, arches and fences
Planning of the site
If you are limited in space, think about what you can refuse and what must be realized. Some things can be combined — for example, put comfortable sun loungers, which, if necessary, can easily be removed and thereby turn the site into a small golf field.
Various representatives of the flora will help to distinguish the zones — green plants, shrubs and small trees. You can create a hedge. A low fence that is not overloaded with additional elements is also perfect. He should not stand out against the general background of the garden. It can be decorated with clematis or hypomeus.
If you have long wanted to arrange a shady corner on the site of their country house, then you will need trellis or garden triely. Watching green plants look good as decor — they will turn a nondescript structure into a real green wall. You can also create a shady zone in the form of a terrace using the marquise for this.
Special screens and screens are designed to distinguish between open space. They are structures made of natural materials — wood with beautiful carved perforation, bamboo, vine and rattan.
Thinking over the paving of sites and paths
At the entrance to the territory of the personal plot, it will be appropriate to build paving paths from materials such as paving stones, concrete slabs, cherry stone of different breeds. The following decorative solution is very popular: a small space is left between neighboring elements, which is later filled with golden sand, glass granules or colored gravel. Also, sometimes green plants and flowers are planted in these places, which do not require much care — rocky cloves, thyme, stone, fellow. You can build an alpine slide, or a flower bed of stones.
In more remote places of the site for paving paths, wooden saws are perfect. The gaps between them are filled with finely chopped bark, sawdust or finished chips. You can also use crushed stone, sand or gravel. Such solutions look very harmonious among green plants.
One of the most fashionable ways of paving paths is to lay boards of small thickness. They are tightly tugged in to each other, due to which they look almost a single canvas. The final stage of work is the coating of the path with varnish or paint. If you do not want to mess with the boards, you can purchase a special parquet, which is intended for these purposes — it is available in the form of sections and is called decing.
Before you go to the store for the material for laying garden paths, you should develop on paper at least an approximate plan for upcoming work. At the same time, those paths that will be in the immediate vicinity of the house must be performed in a more restrained form than everyone else. A paving stones, brick, slabs and decing, which were mentioned above, look good near the building.
Near the pond, sun lounger or golf sites you can show all your imagination — use the materials that nature gives to a person — gravel, sand, gravel and others. Do not observe accuracy in the process of laying them — disorder and the wrong form in this case look just excellent.
Using the tracks, you also separate one zone from another.
We use decorative elements
A variety of decorative elements will help zone for a suburban area, which today an incredible set is presented on the market — for every taste and color, as they say.
Massive objects will help focus on certain zones, bring dynamism. All kinds of sculptural compositions, fountains and obelisks are installed in the open space, in places of large flow of colors and in the courtyards.
Small decorations are no less important — they give the site a stylistic completeness. Animals and characters of all your favorite fairy tales are very popular. When buying such figures, it is important not to overdo it with their number, otherwise your site will become like a site for children’s games. However, if you have babies, it will look great.
The solutions of modern landscape designers are characterized by a simultaneous combination of decor with functionality. The birdhouses, lineners will not only create a style of your site, but also take care of the representatives of the animal world.
