Features of landscape design area of ​​4 weave

Coming to our country plot, we want to relax, enjoy the pleasure of being in the fresh air. And, of course, the arrangement of the site itself plays a very large role in the kind of emotions and impressions it will cause.

Undoubtedly, a large garden with many trees, shrubs and flower beds is the dream of many. However, it is quite possible to create coziness in a small dacha area and give it a beautiful and stylish look.

The plot of 4 acres has its positive sides:

• For a small area easier to care for. Agree, except for pleasant cares on the garden lot and a lot of hard work. Weed removal, soil digging and the like. In this regard, the care of a small garden will be much easier and more enjoyable.

• Saving on seedlings. To fill a small garden with shrubs and fruit trees do not need to acquire a lot of plant seedlings. Also in a small area is much easier to plan the location of plants.

Due to the fact that the plot in 4 acres is very well viewed, it is worth paying attention to the style of its design. Differences in details will immediately be evident.

The East, as part of the world, is associated with pacification, restrained beauty and moderate color. This style is very suitable for the design of a small plot near the house or garden.It was from there that the art of Bonsai and the teachings of Feng Shui came to us. These areas teach, above all, conciseness, restraint, practical and non-wasteful use of space.

Features of a small oriental-style garden:

• When choosing saplings of fruit or ornamental trees, give preference dwarf species. Apple trees, plums, maples perfectly fit into this style. And, of course, cherry, which in the spring will decorate the garden with beautiful miniature flowers. Too sprawling crowns are undesirable, this should be taken into account when further forming the branches and pruning the seedlings.

• Miniature ponds. Japanese gardens almost never do without a small transparent pond or a small waterfall. Now on sale there are artificial mini-installations that imitate a waterfall. Such miniature waterfalls are powered by electricity, and real water circulates in them. You can place such a design element in the shade of a maple or next to a bench.

It will also perfectly fit into an oriental style small, literally 1.5-2 meters wide, pond. It is easy to do with your own hands, as much depth is not required.On the contrary, the water should be clear.

Clean sand or small gray pebbles should be placed on the bottom. You can run a few fish in such a mini-pond. Of course, a small lake will require maintenance and regular cleaning. But because of the small area, it will not be difficult to care for such a reservoir, but the pond will bring a lot of aesthetic pleasure to you and your guests.

• Eastern garden necessarily decorated with stones. These can be paths laid out of small gray or light stone. Or laid out in different places of the site stones of medium size. Just do not overdo it. Remember, stones are just details that emphasize style. If you place them in the garden too much, your site will look more like a medieval fortress and lose its lightness and elegance.

• Lighting in the Japanese style. In the evening and at night, the style will be perfectly emphasized and the Japanese lanterns will create a cozy and pacifying atmosphere. Red lantern is considered classic, but you can choose the color of the lampshade at your discretion. An important rule: the light in the eastern garden should be dim, muffled, it is desirable that it had any shade (red, yellow, purple colors are preferable).

• Small hedges. Low partitions or fences will help to visually separate the zones in your garden. They are not intended to be fenced off from animals or humans, but play only an aesthetic role. Their height should be small, not above the knee. The colors are light or natural. The most preferable wooden fences, made in a simple style.

The main difference of this style of design is that the site is given the most natural, but well-groomed appearance. The task is to create a certain corner-oasis.

Features of landscape design area:

• The soil should be planted with lawn. Concrete paths or pebble powder are undesirable. The cover of the site should be natural, covered with a meadow of grass.
• The center of the composition is a small pond. You can create it on the site with the help of a plastic bowl of the desired volume, or using a waterproofing material.

• Around the pond can be placed several small stones. To make your pond seem bigger, do not place large stones or other large objects near it.
• Ornamental plants with small bright colors will fit well into this style.

So that plants and objects are not crowded on the site and do not interfere with each other, you can use various techniques that allow you to make the layout of the garden vertical.

Vertical layout options:

• Using old car tires, you can create flower beds of various heights and configurations. You can cascade the tires one above the other and come up with an interesting color composition of ornamental plants.
• Also, a multi-tiered flower bed can be created from bricks. The basis of each next tier should be covered with rubble or small pebbles. Very effectively in such multi-tiered compositions look climbing and spreading ornamental plants.

• Flowers and plants can be planted in pots. Containers with plants and flowers hung on the walls of a country house, poles, fence poles, or on the branches of large trees look very beautiful and unusual.
• Climbing plants give lush greenery and look beautiful if the garters are used to direct their growth vertically, for example, along a wall. Also bindweed can decorate the fence or twist around a pole on the site.
• A peculiar and unusual flower garden can be made using an old chest of drawers or a cabinet with drawers. In each box the earth is poured. An extended box with ornamental plants planted in it is a separate mini flower bed.

To your small area was not only beautiful, but also convenient, you should pay attention to its zoning. In order not to spoil the landscape design, recreated on your site, use a few simple tips:

Bulky and voluminous facilities will spoil the visual impression of your garden. A plot with a small area, especially a narrow elongated shape, requires an economical attitude to the free space on it, it is this that visually enlarges the garden.

Do not overdo it with the buildings on the garden square. Of course, many buildings are necessary for convenience, but in the case of a plot of 4 acres it is worth thinking about combining the functions of several buildings. For example, instead of a separate shed it is better to make a compact extension to the house,to store garden tools there.

It is undesirable to use too high fences for external fencing of a small area. Preference should be given to a fence made of a picket fence or a chain-link mesh rather than a deaf fence. Because of the bulky solid fence from the inside, the plot will look small and limited. It will give the impression of a box.

It is necessary to think in advance the location of fruit and ornamental trees. It is better to give preference to dwarf breeds with a small crown. Massive trees will create a vast shadow when they grow. And if there are several relatively close-planted trees on the site, then they can completely obscure the entire garden. You should not also plant trees over the entire area of ​​the garden, it is better to set aside a certain zone for them and plant some short-growing species at a short distance from each other.

Look good and create a feeling of comfort small decorative figures. Arrange clay gnomes or household items in your small garden, for example, small clay pots. However, do not lose the sense of proportion.If you overdo it with such fine details of the decor, then the courtyard or garden will look cluttered.

An interesting solution is the arrangement of bright decorative flowers in pots in different parts of the garden. The advantages of this method is the mobility of each flower. You can change the compositions at least every day, create new color ensembles, make bright accents in different parts of the kindergarten.

A small garden plot is not at all difficult to equip beautifully and stylishly. Do not be upset because of the small area, give up and start your garden.

A small garden does not require a lot of costs from you, it's easier to take care of it yourself. Also in a small area you can experiment with the design, having the opportunity to immediately appreciate the fruits of their labor and make amendments if necessary.
