Special features
If you have a small personal plot near your house, you can do a lot of interesting things with it. The main thing is to fully use every free square meter. In a small area with your own hands you can create a place where you will have a good time and alone with yourself, and in a noisy group of friends.

However, before you design the suburban area, you need to take into account all of its features.If you have never practiced gardening, and do not know anything about working with the land, then it is best to immediately seek the help of professionals.
Garden device
If there is not a lot of free space near the house, then it can be used for arranging a beautiful garden. Planted trees near the house will not only decorate the territory, but also protect your building from strong winds or snowfall. You can give preference to ornamental plants or choose fruit-bearing plants that will additionally please you with fresh fruits or berries in spring and autumn.
Beautiful spreading trees will also create shade, which means that in this place you can arrange a dining area with a comfortable table and beautiful wicker chairs. H
As for bushes and stunted trees, they are best used at the entrance to the garden in order to separate one zone from another.
If you plan to grow some heat-loving bushes or trees, then it is worth remembering that such plants should be hidden from the hot sun. An example of such a plant is a grape bush. For a beautiful plant to please you with a harvest, plant it on the south side of the plot, but not in direct sunlight. So you grow bushes and get a rich harvest of sweet tasty berries.
Herbs or spices can be grown along with trees and bushes. This can be done on the beds, located on the backyard. A more unusual and interesting option is to use boxes or wicker baskets for growing domestic herbs. They can be installed on tables, terraces or even hung up.
In the free areas that remain after the entire territory is already equipped, you can grow bushes that do not require additional care. For example, currants or raspberries.
Registration of flower beds
Even in a small area you can equip a beautiful flower bed. These flower beds can have classic forms, or more unusual and eye-catching.
It all depends on what style you choose for your small section:
- Most often, when landscaping using simple round flower beds or beds. They look the most neat. It can be used and round shapes, and ellipses, and ovals. All these options are equally well suited for arranging a small area. If you are ready to spend money and time on arranging your plot, then you can decorate the territory with the help of color circles or multi-layered Alpine slides, which bloom at different times of the year.
- However, such an option as decorating the territory with free-form flowerbeds is no less popular. They look more natural, and they have to spend less time for their arrangement. You can plant plants with ornate paths, circles, spirals, and so on. To do this, you can use expensive exotic plants, and even vegetables or herbs.
- For example, beets, carrots or parsley, which themselves look interesting, will look beautiful if you plant them in spiral beds on your plot. Flowerbeds can be left unencumbered or decorated with a low wicker fence, or overlaid with stones in a circle. It all depends on what style you design your territory.
Decorative decoration of the territory
To decorate the area next to the house, you can use furniture, decorative elements, and gifts of nature:
- So that after a long working day you have the opportunity to rest, on the territory next to the house you can arrange a few benches or a small gazebo with wicker chairs inside. If over time a gazebo or benches surround a living plant or a vineyard is woven around, do not rush to deal with nature.On the contrary, use it as your advantage and perceive it as an exclusive decoration of the site.
Also suitable are statues in style, wicker baskets or boxes of flowers. They are of little use, but even a single box or a figure of a dwarf installed on the territory of the site will decorate it and make it more fabulous and charming.
Design Tips
To place all the necessary decorative details on one site, you need to follow certain rules:
- First of all, the site is undesirable to cut straight lines. This applies primarily to the tracks, which should not be too clear. In a small area, narrow paths look better and look as if they are a natural part of a garden, and not something created by your hands.
- In addition, doing the design of such a small area, you need to pre-plan everything clearly and draw on paper or computer. This will allow you to accurately determine the amount of materials you need, and the costs and the number of functional zones you will be sharing.
Most designers do not recommend dividing the space of a small area into separate zones. In addition, it is completely undesirable to limit each individual zone, and indeed the entire area as a whole, with clear boundaries. This limits the space and makes it visually smaller, which the owners of an already small area do not want at all.
If you want to use some kind of fence, it is better to choose a mesh option or a wicker fence, which you will not reach even to the waist. The most advantageous is the fencing of light colors from suitable materials. And if you feel that a plain fence with the same texture all around the perimeter seems too boring, then you can decorate the fence with some hanging trifles or even artificial flowers.
