Site planning

Before starting landscaping, the site should be planned. It is best if you can make a layout on paper.

On a note!

On the plan, it is necessary to note all the capital buildings: a house, outbuildings, a gazebo, a bathhouse, barbecue, walkways, etc. We should not forget about the garden. It is good if it is located next to the recreation area (gazebo, barbecue). Greens and fresh vegetables will not be superfluous on vacation.

Styles

Do not forget about design styles. The most common are Russian, European, and Eastern styles.

The Russian style prefers wooden buildings, carved decor, trimmed bushes, lush flower beds. It may be useful to use conifers. Plants such as sunflowers combined with simple wildflowers: chamomiles, cornflowers, and forget-me-nots are appropriate here.

European style is based on a clear geometry. Mandatory lawn in front of the house, clear lines of bushes, flower beds. Tracks of the correct form.
Oriental style includes the presence of stones (rock garden, decoration of paths), the presence of low conifers. Oriental style is calm and peaceful.

Territory decoration

Creating a green zone on the site, you should consider some points.

On a note!

An important role is played by illumination. When observing, it should be noted the movement of the sun, the movement of shadows. This is the only way to correctly select and plant plants in their places.

The main condition for decorating is the choice of plants. They need to be selected so that flowering occurs throughout the season. Some plants can delight the eye in the fall with their special foliage colors.

In landscape design, there are some tricks. For example, to visually increase the size of the site, it is wise to use cold tones: lilac, blue, blue.Warm colors such as yellow, orange, walnut, give the effect of light in a shaded place. If the plot is small, you can use low-growing plants with small flowers.

On a note!

The walls of the house can be decorated with vertical decorative plants. They will create a specific background for lower plants. In the decoration, you can use hanging pots, wall panels.

For decorating fences, arches, climbing plants are well suited, for example, climbing roses look beautiful. A hedge looks very profitable on the site. For this, perennial herbaceous plants, bushes, dwarf conifers are suitable. In the design of the site, you can mix styles, make your own individual notes.
