Landscape design suburban area of ​​10 acres

Dacha plot of 10 acres is quite spacious, and, therefore, there you can translate into reality all your ideas, combining different styles and techniques. On the peculiarities of landscape design of such a site will be discussed in our article.

The territory of 10 acres is suitable for those who want to get a beautiful house with a garden and a recreation area, but at the same time does not want to spend all their free time on caring for the site. Landscape design must be thought out. You can't just randomly plant the plants and arrange the decor items - all this will look messy and chaotic. Before planting something on your plot, consider the location of the zones.

At the same time, everything needs to be thought out, focusing not only on aesthetic preferences, but also on how appropriate it is to plant certain plants in one's home. Take into account the landscape, check the soil and do not forget about the features of the climate. Some plants like shade more, others, on the contrary, cannot live without the sun. It is also worth considering and planting light-loving plants where the sun appears most often.

Designing a summer cottage of 10 acres is a rather difficult task. So, if you are not sure that you can properly decorate the site, it is better to turn to professionals who either offer you ready-made ideas, or design the entire site from scratch.

If you do decide to independently engage in the design of the site, then first of all you should decide on the style. There are several interesting areas of landscape design.

This style is the simplest. For decoration of the garden plot you need not so much: just arrange the lawn and plant several trees on the plot. Greenhouses, compost heap and various outbuildings are unlikely to be useful to you.

But there will be a place to place beautiful flower beds, a patio, a barbecue area or even a small swimming pool on the territory of the garden plot. Projects of this type of sites are designed to make you comfortable to spend time there.

On the territory of the former Soviet Union, this very direction is very popular. As a rule, if you have a garden plot, then it is customary to equip it not only with a place to rest, but also with small beds.

If you are more interested in practical benefits than the original appearance of the plot or the opportunity to enjoy your time there, then this is exactly the traditional village style that you will like the most. On the territory of the site you can place several beds with flowers and herbs, greenhouses for growing seedlings, neat, flat beds, as well as aviaries, if you plan to breed animals.

Another style that definitely deserves attention is Japanese. Like all eastern destinations, it looks original and looks quite unusual on our sites.

A traditional Japanese garden is a whole art. And you will hardly be able to fully reproduce this beauty at home.

It is absolutely impossible to present a traditional Japanese garden without any artificial reservoir. It can be a small pond with clear water, a well or a small pool surrounded by stones. Interestingly look so-called dry streams. They are made of stone, surrounding beautiful plants. A Japanese garden will inspire you and help you relax.

Interesting looks and plot, decorated in a Mediterranean style. For its design, various plants are used, ceramic pots with fresh flowers. Also in the Mediterranean area you can find a lot of decorative details.

High lanterns with forged details, luxurious fountains, wooden arbors and the same benches look appropriate here. It is pleasant to have a rest at such a site, and caring for it is much easier than for all kinds of beds.

If you can not decide on any one style, and want to try everything at once, you can use a combination of different directions.For example, to equip in one area and a recreation area, and small beds, and flower beds. Fortunately, ten acres is enough to translate into reality all their ideas.

The whole large area for your own comfort should be divided into several separate zones. The main zones: entrance, garden, garden, a place for recreation and, if necessary, children's territory.

It is the entrance area of ​​the site that allows you to make a first impression on those who come to visit you. Therefore, all and try to make it as presentable as possible. Most often, next to the gate make out beautiful flower beds with bright colors. It is also possible to isolate the site from the road with the help of a hedge. Evergreen shrubs look much more beautiful than the classic fence.

The next zone, which is present in almost every area is the garden. Planting fruit trees near the country house is very profitable. You will get a natural shade in which you can put a few benches or even hang a hammock here. In addition, for several months in a row, you will eat tasty fruits and fresh berries that diversify your diet and fill it with vitamins.

Plus, garden trees look very beautiful at almost any time of the year. In the spring, your site will be decorated with a flowering garden, in the summer - trees with ripe berries and fruits, in the fall - golden foliage, and in the winter - snow-covered branches.

Also for the design of the site, you can use ornamental plants. For example, neat low-growing trees. Designers recommend planting them in the foreground and using them to decorate the site.

If the word "garden" is associated with the weeds covered with weeds, then it is time to discard these stereotypes. It is quite possible to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the site by placing a small vegetable garden on its territory. To do this, it is enough to land the plants in beautiful even rows or even arrange them in neat beds of square shape.

In order to make it easier to take care of your plot, decorate the paths between the flowerbeds and different parts of the garden. Such paths at the same time and protect the site from excess dirt, and simplify the process of working with plants.

It is worth taking care of the right lighting and the irrigation system.Most household plants require normal natural lighting. Therefore, they are recommended to be planted in the sun. As for providing plants with water, you can water them manually or think over and organize an automatic drip irrigation system.

In addition to their beds, you can install a greenhouse or several small greenhouses on the site. So at any time of the year you will get access to ripe berries or homemade vegetables.

If you have a child in the house or even several children, then the most correct decision will be the arrangement of the playground on the territory of the site. So you will know exactly what your baby is doing and will be sure that he spends time in nature, with health benefits.

Being engaged in arrangement of a platform for several children, try to think over everything so that everyone has enough free space and everyone can occupy themselves with something interesting. It is better to put an additional swing, or to make a sandbox more, so that everyone has enough free space and everyone has something to do.

When arranging a playground, it is not necessary to spend money on expensive carousels or sports complexes.You can simply install a sandbox, several chairs and tables for playing school and build the simplest swing of a tire fixed on a tree.

Finally, do not forget about the recreation area. Depending on the style in which your site is decorated and your needs, it may be different. As a rule, the recreation area is located in the center of the site.

The best option - a beautiful gazebo, which will serve not only as a place to gather the whole family, but also an excellent decoration of the area next to the cottage. Gazebos are usually built from wood. They are perfectly combined with houses in the style of rustic, chalet or country. If you wish, you can arrange anything inside it: from a table with chairs to hanging chairs and a low coffee table.

Instead of a gazebo, you can arrange a dining area under a shed, a barbecue area or an outdoor terrace on the territory of your plot. In general, under the recreation area, you can choose any place where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature. Fortunately, on the territory of ten acres there is enough space to install everything you need for a comfortable rest.

Another important stage is the landscaping of the site.After you have divided the territory into separate zones, each of them needs to be greened. To do this, fit different plants: as fragile annual flowers, and perennial shrubs that are found in the forested area.

An area with neat and evenly cut green grass looks beautiful on its own. No matter which plot you plan to arrange in this way, everywhere it will look organic. The lawn can serve as a beautiful background for other plants, as well as being an independent decoration of the landscape.

Decorating a territory with flowers is much more difficult. First, you need to pick plants that will bloom at one time, and create a beautiful composition. Secondly, they are much more difficult to care for. If the lawn is just enough to cut a couple of times a season and sometimes water it, then the flowers require daily attention. They will have to constantly water, weed and check whether they have not died in the fight against weeds.

Choose plants that you can properly care for. If you do not have time to garden, pick up those flowers that grow "by themselves". Undemanding perennials will do.

You can arrange simple square or round beds, and you can experiment a little. For example, plant flowers in a tub, a cart, an old bucket, or a cracked barrel. Fill the container with soil, add fertilizer and plant plants boldly. This composition looks beautiful and unusual.

You can also plant flowers alpine slide. Choose the right combination of colors, and look at your site will be very nice.

Garden, oddly enough, can also be a full decoration of the site. To do this, you can plant seedlings in even rows or arrange them in neat flowerbeds. It will look almost as beautiful as the flowers growing on the site.

A green area with a vegetable garden, divided into separate squares with different plants inside, will please you and will not cause inconvenience. Small squares separated with stones or bricks are easier to weed and inspect, because they are not separated from each other by dirt, but neat, sprinkled with shavings or gravel, paths.

The carrot, beetroot, parsley, lettuce and other ornamental-looking plants look particularly beautifully planted in rows. If desired, on the edges of such beds you can plant flowers of different sizes and colors.

Properly planted trees will not only decorate the site, but also protect you from the heat. You can plant different trees around the perimeter of the site or place them in a separated garden.

Do not forget about the low ornamental trees and shrubs, from which there is no practical use, but there is aesthetic.

There are many beautiful examples of green areas that delight the eye of the owners. Here are some simple examples you can look for when looking for inspiration.

If you are not ready to spend a lot of time on arranging the territory adjacent to your log house, it can be arranged with the help of coniferous plants. Perennial shrubs, spreading spruce and neat paths will decorate your site. It does not need any extra details in the form of fountains or statues.Nature will do everything for you, decorating the site with different shades of green.

The second example is the complete opposite of the first section. This is a real riot of greenery. On the plot there is a place and neat beds, and lush trees, and unusual bushes. All this is decorated with stones and stone steps. And in the center is a small seating area with a table and a sofa. A colored canopy protects it from the sun, and trees planted next to it from heat and wind.

Everything on such sites is provided and it is precisely for this that one should strive. If you want your site to be just as comfortable, listen to the suggestions offered, plan everything in advance, and start gardening and decorating the area.

That it is necessary to make that the site looked decently, but was not in weeds, look in the following video.
