Own house requires more attention to itself,than an ordinary apartment (even 2 or 3-room). A lot of concerns are connected with the territory around the building. In former times, all owners of their own residential real estate with adjoining plots of land carried out the construction of the courtyard of the private house with their own hands (photo further shows the trends of previous years). But what is landscape design today?
Previously, the arrangement of the yard of a private house in the villagewith their own hands (the photos presented in the article illustrate this) was simple enough. Most of the territory was allocated for vegetable crops, animal sheds. A small area was planted with flowers. Today dacha preferences are almost completely forgotten, and the solutions that were used before are now unpopular. Now in fashion a solid cottage or a cozy small mansion, surrounded by beautiful landscapes, flower beds, small architectural forms. Next, we'll figure out how to arrange the courtyard of a private house. A photo of some decisions will also be presented in the article.
Each owner of his own cottageIt implements the arrangement of the courtyard of the private house in accordance with their personal preferences. Many people turn to specialists for help. Professional landscape designers make up the projects, taking into account not only the wishes of customers, but also the features of the area itself. Many owners carry out the arrangement of the yard of a private house with their own hands (photos illustrate several options for the design of the territory). Before taking on work, it is necessary to draw up a plan, according to which certain constructions will be erected on the ground.
Arrangement of the yard of a private house with their own hands begins with the drawing up of a scheme. There is a complex of facilities that are present on the territory almost always. These include:
Undoubtedly, this list is notcompulsory. When arranging the yard of a private house, one should be guided by common sense and understand exactly what is useful in the territory and what is not. In addition, there are a number of requirements that need to be followed.
Carrying out the arrangement of the courtyard of a private house (invillage or suburb of a metropolis), it is necessary to arrange the elements at a certain distance relative to each other. For example, if there is an aviary for a dog, then it must be removed from the residential building at least 4 meters, the garage and outbuildings should be installed at a distance of 7 meters from each other. Compost pits, wells, a separate toilet should be built at a distance from the housing at least 15 meters. The fence is located from any buildings at a distance of 1-1.5 m, tall plants - up to 3 m.
You can switch to their markup afterthe arrangement of the yard of a private house will be fully planned. When designing paths, you also need to follow certain standards. The width of the tracks should not be less than 75 cm. If the area allows, you can make a circular path near the residential building. Thanks to this it will be easy to get to different parts of the house. In addition, it can become an excellent cycling track for children.
Of course, the easiest way to implement the arrangementcourtyard of a private house, when the terrain is flat: there are no hills, hills, and the surface itself is horizontal, without a slope. In this territory, a wide open space opens up for the realization of various ideas. Of great importance are the composition of the soil, climatic features of the terrain. With the arrangement of the territory you need to know not only the nuances of landscape design, but also have "botanical" skills. They consist in the ability to correctly position plants on the ground.
They are of particular importance in the distribution of plantations. The following factors influence the development of plants:
Given all these indicators, you can easily pick up plants that will decorate the site and at the same time feel comfortable.
How to equip a household plot - to solve each owner independently. There are several fairly common styles of landscape design:
Japanese style is very attractive from the point of viewof compactness. You can draw even a small area. Slavic style is perfect for a wooden structure. With its help, you can completely implement the construction of the courtyard of a private house with your own hands from improvised materials. European country in some ways has something in common with the Slavic style, but it is more orderly. Strict, but natural is the English design of the site. The last word in landscape design is modern. With the skillful use of it, you can create a unique design of the area. Traditional is considered a classic style. Let's consider it in more detail.
It is also called "regular".In the classical style, all is sustained in strict symmetry. Lines of tracks and buildings should be clear. Geometric forms are used. It is generally believed that the classic style in the landscape is able to mitigate to some extent the storm of emotions that arise in urban residents, immersed in nature. It should be noted that such design of the site requires special and regular maintenance. Otherwise plantations will grow, and all clearness and severity will be lost.
When decorating the area you can applyvarious designs and elements. Thus materials can be used the most different. For example, plastic is popular. It can be used for the manufacture of garden curbs. Plastic delineate beds, flower beds, paths. This material is resistant to moisture and temperature changes. In addition, plastic is flexible. It can be used for making arched constructions and other things. A brick is considered as a universal material. They carry out finishing of residential buildings, outbuildings. Magnificently looks on the site of a brick arbor. The material can also be used to create flower garden fences. Successfully combines brick with tile, metal, wood. Often used and improvised material in the design of the site. For example, the original look of the borders of plastic or glass bottles. When arranging tracks, cuttings of boards, chips, chips are often used. In landscape design, metal is almost universally applied. It can be ordinary bars covered with paint, on which decorative plants will curl. Often, forged parts are installed on the sites. They give ease to the surrounding landscape. Metal is in perfect harmony with other materials.
With the development of the site of particular importanceplace for rest. The arbor effectively adds to the decoration, gives more coziness of the territory. The structure can be open or closed. In the arbor, often build a barbecue oven or install a portable or built-in brazier. Often this building becomes a favorite place on the whole site.
This is an integral part of many household plotssites. When arranging a playground, you must choose materials that are safe for babies. Today, the range of children's sports complexes on the market is very wide. They can be of different sizes, collapsible or stationary. Children's playground can be an excellent continuation of the gazebo or be located in an open glade near the apartment house.
If there is a car, then for it there must beequipped parking place. As a rule, the garage is attached to the house. Parking can be a simple canopy of profile pipes. As a roof, polycarbonate can be used. Better, of course, to make a closed garage. In this case, the car will be protected from bad weather. The room should be spacious enough to be able to repair or wash the vehicle.
These elements are often used whenarrangement of a personal plot. Near the arbor, you can install a small fountain or a trickle. From original stone original compositions are created. They can also use a combination of different materials. Very attractive look small sculptures in flower gardens. It can be heroes of fairy tales or cartoons. Effectively look original garden lights. They can be placed along the paths, around the flower beds, near the gazebo.
