Landscaping is an amazingly beautiful creativity for the improvement of the territory adjacent to housing construction. All happy owners of a land plot can turn its area into a real work of art.
You can do this yourself by including your innate artistic taste and studying the relevant information; you can get education in special courses or attract specialists.
First, you need to explore the area of the site and outline a plan for landscaping, taking into account the peculiarities of the soil and free space for activities.
Beautiful elements of landscape design
Plantings are the main element. Trees, shrubs, flowers, lawn cover are arranged in various combinations and ensembles. Low-growing shrubs are used as a border between individual parts of the site, climbing plants - as a hedge. If the area allows and the climatic conditions correspond, you can set up a garden with fruit trees, as a rule, it is used, if not, then with ordinary or ornamental trees, as a rule, planting of large-sized trees is used .
Flower beds in the form of flower beds are surrounded by grass lawns. On a plot of a small area, vertical flower beds, hanging pots and baskets of flowers are placed. When planting flowers, strict straight rows should be avoided; asymmetry looks much more natural.
Water bodies- perhaps the most beautiful and useful element that allows you to sit relaxed by the water, to escape from everyday worries. It can be an artificial pond, lake, stream, cascade, fountain.
When creating a pond, rigid insulating forms made of fiberglass, flexible forms made of polyethylene, butyl rubber, and polyvinyl chloride film are used. In hot areas around the reservoir, plants are planted to create shade and prevent the water from overheating. Garden aquariums are increasingly used - artificial reservoirs for breeding ornamental and some commercial fish.
Elements made of stone - a rocky garden, rockery, separately lying large stones, an alpine slide, rocky framing of the edges of the reservoir - all this looks unusually beautiful and expressive. The original combination of stones and plants creates natural naturalness.
Sculptures and architectural and decorative structures bring their own beauty and satisfaction. For recreation, garden benches are placed in various parts of the site, and cozy gazebos are erected. Paths made of washed concrete with multi-colored filler look colorful. Flower pots and flowerpots from the same material look great.
Lighting : landscape lamps, candles, musical pendants. Convenient when pedestrian paths are illuminated, underwater lighting looks spectacular. Special lights create animated projections, unnatural bizarre shadows, waving flames.
A corner is sure to be allocated for children , equipping a playground. A hut or a tent on a hot afternoon will protect children from the scorching rays of the Sun and will be a great place for solitude. All kinds of decorative fences, figurines of fairy-tale characters or cartoon characters can be made from scrap materials.
Landscaping is able to turn any corner of the site into a place of pleasure, where it will be pleasant to spend your free time.
