Skillful builders put flooring in houses, and gardeners cover the area with a lawn. In the past, the lawn was considered an unaffordable luxury and was present only in areas of the emperors, but now everyone can decorate their homestead with a carpet of soft varieties of grass.

In order for the lawn to settle down, you must be patient and spend a lot of effort.However, in the end you will get a good result, which will serve as the basis for other elements of landscape design.

With the help of a lawn you can get interesting solutions that depend on the choice of type of coverage:

• traditional lawn. It is a monochromatic coating of medium density;
• sports lawn. This is a more dense type of vegetation, which is not afraid of a large load;
• decorative grass cover. This lawn is designed only for beauty. Walking on it is prohibited.

Flowerbed is no longer a simple circle or rectangle, in which a file of flowers grows. At the moment there are elegant and thoughtful models that demonstrate the good taste of its owner, and create a cozy atmosphere at the dacha.

Vertical flowerbeds are often chosen for arranging urban spaces, but for summer houses they can also be used favorably. Forget about the fact that flowers should grow on the ground. Plants need only soil, which can be located at the level of human growth. Vertical beds require less space than traditional models. This decision makes the site original.

For vertical flower beds often use flowering plants, ornamental vegetables. Lovers of unusual solutions, designers offer to plant in such designs grass spicy varieties or greens. You can also use the curling fruitful culture. In such a flower garden clematis looks great.

Traditional forms of vertical flower beds:

• pyramid. In it, the plants are in a container that consists of several tiers;
• tower of flowers. It is similar to the pyramid, but the diameter of the tiers does not decrease.

Rabatki are flower stripes, which are located along the garden paths, fences or lawns. To create such a bed should observe the width of the landing, the minimum value of which is half a meter. During flowering plants you will receive a bright carpet.

There are several types of rabatok:

• one-sided. They are located along the wall of the house or fences;
• bilateral.These beds are located in the center of the alley.

Mixborders are a flower garden in which there is a harmonious combination of herbs, miniature bushes and small varieties of trees. Caring for such a flower garden is quite complicated, since each plant requires special conditions. Weeding delivers a lot of inconvenience, since the mixborder must have a thick landing. Often in such a flower garden panicled hydrangea is planted in the background.

Features:

• the presence of free lines and forms of flower garden;
• the presence of high colors in the background or in the center, depending on the point of view of the flower bed;
• use of contrasting colors or monotony.

Trees and shrubs should be selected based on their preferences. Most vacationers want to get every year fresh fruits and berries, so they acquire fruit crops. Another category of people chooses the decor. Designers recommend combining the two options, which allows you to get an interesting combination.

When choosing plants should consider the following nuances:

• soil type and microclimate features;
• prevalence of winds and illumination area;
• terrain features;
• vegetation compatibility, crown density and diameter;
• seasonality of plants.

To design a landscape project, you can use fruit and ornamental types of trees. Coniferous plants have become widely popular. They are unpretentious, equip the site with coolness in the summer season and look attractive in the winter. In the suburban areas, you can plant pine, thuja, juniper. Among the bushes demand lilac bushes, jasmine, dogwood, hawthorn.

Arrangement of the aquatic environment in the suburban area is given an important place. Such facilities are popular with customers and the designers themselves. To make the right choice, you need to decide what you want to get from the reservoir.

Landscaping with water features can act as a practical or decorative solution. You have the opportunity to use a reservoir for specific purposes (for example, to use water to irrigate a territory) or to install an artificial lake for beauty.In projects of country areas can be used any of the options or a combination of both.

You will need to decide on the type of water structure, purchase the necessary materials, familiarize yourself with the requirements and purchase the necessary equipment. Take care of buying plants that will grow near the water.

In landscape design may be present not only standing water. Depending on your idea, you can equip your territory with fountains, cascades or waterfalls. Each of these solutions can decorate the area and give it an original look.

The owners of country plots spend time not only for garden work, but also like to relax in the circle of their friends.

The selected site can be open or closed. The equipment of the open area will require less costs, but the arrangement of a recreation area with a small canopy will give her comfort and protection from weather conditions. It is best to place such a place in the backyard. Set up a playground for children. If there is a pond nearby, the area will be blown out by pleasant freshness on hot days. If there is no reservoir on your estate, you can place a platform at the well.

The presence in the similar zone of a grill for frying meat or a fireplace on the street is not only an ornament, but also a functional component. The resting place should be thought out and a site for an arbor. In it you will be able to communicate with your company, admiring the beautiful landscape. As decoration, you can plant climbers or hedges. Crafts on the territory of this zone will act as a decor.

The competent choice of a color palette in the project of landscape design is able to decorate even the simplest project, which lays a small budget. To give the territory a harmonious look, one should take into account the color scheme of the components, which are divided into several categories.

There are trees, shrubs, hills, boulders, lakes and paths that have a natural origin. All objects that you want to leave on your estate will influence the choice of color solution of the territory.

These components include a dwelling house, household buildings (garage, bath, greenhouses, barns and terraces). Also in this category are various bridges, gazebos, sheds and other structures. Make sure that the front part of the building and the components of each building are combined in color. One of the objects should be an accent of the territory, so you do not need to paint all the buildings in one color.

Select the accent spot that will stand out on the site and become the center of the design. In most cases, this role is assigned to a residential house, and the remaining objects are located around it, maintaining a uniform style.

In this category are all plantings, water structures, flower beds and rock gardens, which were created by man. There are lots of options with which you will manipulate color tones and shades. Due to the flowering vegetation, you can arrange a beautiful "carpet" that will decorate the area throughout the summer period.

Some designers offer their customers to take advantage of an alley of evergreen tree varieties so that the estate has a stable color background.

Paths, platforms, platforms and floorings, statues, hammocks, and even swings can be placed here. Each of these components is able to leave its mark on the overall design of the site. The color palette plays a key role in creating the mood of a territory. The combination of shades allows you to hide the shortcomings of the site, visually expand its area or modify the shape of the territory without drastic actions.

There are many ideas that allow you to design a home garden. When choosing a project, one should proceed from the dimensions of the site, since the area of ​​the territory plays the main role in this.

For arranging a small area of ​​about 4 acres should pay attention to the geometric style that was previously used in the gardens. With it, you can use the available platform at the maximum level. Originality in the design can be achieved with non-standard solutions. As an example, consider vertical gardening.

Fruit trees located on the north side will help in the proper organization of space, and will also act as a wall that will protect the house from the cold wind. On the northern territory of the garden plot you can locate building objects and greenhouses.

If you have nothing to hide from prying eyes, refuse high fencing. A high hedge in a small area increases the feeling of tightness. You can add space with the help of smooth lines of garden paths.

The main rules for the design of villas are independent of its area. Trees with a house and a small shed should also be located in the northern part of the territory. In large areas (from 10 acres) there are more opportunities for the implementation of ideas on the south side. Here you can place a recreation area, plant a lawn and even build a bath.

Sites of similar dimensions can be decorated with a Japanese garden. For such an idea, the installation of an arbor and the installation of an area with an artificial stream are required. You can arrange a "corner of wildlife" with forest trees or consider ideas with a vegetable garden.

The plot of 12 acres allows you to place not only residential buildings, but also miniature water facilities with waterfalls.The land, which will be extracted when creating the reservoir, can be used as a basis for an alpine slide. It can also be used as an independent component in the layout.

The track layout project is developed based on the necessary access to the zones. Experts advise to build a "tour" past the most attractive areas. It should provide a simple path to the flowers and the garden. The width of the paths must have the necessary size so that two people can easily disperse on it. The best solution is the width of one meter.

The main paths should be made smooth, without sharp turns. Walking paths that pass by fruit crops and flowers can have complex shapes. Design paths with the expectation that your guests can admire garden elements from any angle.

On the country paths there should be a small slope on both sides to prevent the formation of puddles.This solution allows you to "water" during the rainy nearby beds and remove dust from the trail itself.

Garden paths should be made of materials that have sufficient strength, aesthetics and temperature stability. As a rule, in country areas, tiles of a decorative type, stone or concrete pavement are used. If you prefer a natural design, you can sprinkle the tracks with sand or gravel.

Most people choose functional lighting, forgetting about the decorative component. However, well-chosen lighting will make your site attractive not only in the daytime, but also in the evening.

To illuminate the paths, turns and buildings you can use diffused soft light which will ensure safe movement throughout the territory, without interfering with the observation of the rest of the territory.

To provide the site with functional lighting, you can purchase built-in lighting equipment. These lamps are installed along the tracks, at the edges of the steps or near the railing. They act as “guiding lights” without blinding a bright light.Some people choose lanterns on posts that act as a fence during the daytime. The columns can have any design, due to which you can choose a model that will support the concept of the site.

Due to the decorative lighting, you can emphasize all the advantages of the area, highlighting individual fruit crops or flower beds. To illuminate shrubs or aesthetic components, use spotlights, which are located on the ground. They will please the eye with the help of color lighting and will give a festive mood.

Subtleties of lighting suburban area:

• for giving requires lamps with a lower power level than in the city;
• choose energy-saving lamps;
• consider a variant with separate inclusion of technical and decorative lamps;
• provide the power cable with good insulation.

Garden figures in the form of dwarfs, various animals and characters are in great demand in Western countries, where each hero has his own story. You can put on your cottage any decorative element.Choose figures that support a single concept of the site and continue its style.

Forest gnomes are often hidden in the bushes, and forest fairies are located near the trees. Using similar elements You can create your own fairy tale on the site and tell your friends legends about the appearance of each character.
