Landscaping of a private plot
To create a beautiful and cozy place on a private plot you don’t need many requirements. You don’t need to be a professional designer or have exorbitant amounts of money to do this. All you need to get started is a little desire and effort to turn even a small area into a piece of paradise.
Before planting plants and installing decorative elements, you need to take into account the topography of the area, the type of soil, and the prevailing winds. Landscaping needs to begin with careful planning so that every piece of it is used rationally. It is also important to take into account the climatic conditions of the region, and natural and everyday features.
Types of decorative elements
- living fences;
- garden paths;
- lawn;
- flower beds and little gardens;
- alpine slides;
- artificial reservoirs;
- decorative lighting devices.
Water bodies
Water on the private plot always has a relaxing and peaceful effect on residents and guests of the house. To do this, it is worth installing a stone slide along which a waterfall will flow, and light-colored garden furniture will fit harmoniously next to it.
A decorative pond will look very picturesque. To install it, you need a concrete ring; it is dug into the ground to a depth of 5 cm or less. The bottom of the future pool is lined with a 20 cm layer of crushed stone, and then compacted and filled with concrete mixture. In such a small pond, irises, reeds and water lilies will look picturesque.
Fencing
When landscaping a private plot, it is important to correctly and carefully plan the location of the paths, as well as their decorative design. Their design directly depends on the shape of the site and the topography of the land.
- ground;
- herbaceous;
- from concrete tiles;
- gravel;
- stone.
The free space between the paths can be sown with lawn grass. But when decorating an area with flower beds, you need to take into account the properties of flowers – their color combination and flowering period. This approach is necessary to ensure continuous flowering in the garden over a long period.
Lighting
Any private plot needs lighting. This will not only ensure safety while moving along the paths but will also provide an aesthetic and beautiful look. To have the opportunity to admire your garden in the evening and at night, you need to think about how to properly organize lighting on it. To do this, lanterns, built-in and wall lamps are installed along paths, gazebos, benches and other decorative objects. Trees can be decorated with garlands.
