Making a garden plot with your own hands is such an exciting activity that sometimes it becomes even more important for the owners than getting a crop. After all, a garden is a place where a person rests with his soul in the bosom of nature.
Use of landscape irregularities in design
Of course, it is optimal that the design of the garden plot with your own hands does not spoil the natural design, but only emphasizes the peculiarity of the landscape. If, for example, nature created bumps, hills and depressions in the ground on the site, or even the garden is located on a slope of a high hill, you can successfully beat this inconvenience. Do not cut the hills, artificially leveling the landscape - there is a chance of damage to the upper soil layer. Due to such gross interference, the owner may later have to buy soil for laying on top at the place where the mound used to be. And you can simply arrange the slide in the form of a flowerbed, planting flowers of the same height. Due to the elevation of the flower bed, it will turn out to be voluminous, all plants will be perfectly visible even at a distance. Making a garden plot with your own hands on a hillside implies step beds and beds, which is also quite beautiful. And small ravines or depressions in the ground can be used for artificial ponds. Having surrounded a pond or a lake made by yourself with stones, you can create a wonderful corner for relaxation.
Garden paths
Even the paths in the "paradise" can be different. Someone will prefer the paths laid out with paving slabs, bricks, concreted or paved. And someone more like the naturalness of the corner of nature. Then you can plant paths with special grass, cover it with sand, or make paths along the paths or enclose rest areas with curbs, fill the area with fine gravel, expanded clay. Making a garden plot with your own hands is a purely personal matter, so no one can dictate any special rules to the garden owner.
Garden figures - decoration and lighting fixtures
Today, special figures are widely used for garden design: animals, sculptures, stylized as antiquity,
fairy-tale characters. The design and design of garden plots with such elements is based on the individual taste of the owner and the general style of the garden. For example, sculptures imitating works of art of past centuries in the form of ladies with jugs or sunbathing half-naked girls are quite suitable for stylized garden plots "antique". Then you should think about what will be the lights in the
garden, benches, fences. Everything should “play in unison”, correspond to each other, complement. And for the garden plots where the kids will rest, the figures of fairy-tale characters and animals are appropriate. The decoration of the garden plot can even become useful if the sculptures take on the role of stands for street lighting, tables, benches. The tiger lying near the table can serve as an excellent sofa, and the gnome will hold the lantern; a huge turtle or a hippopotamus on its carapace will hold a glass top, and a stork standing on one leg can hold a street washstand in its beak. By the way, the figures can not only be bought, but also made independently from plastic clay, gypsum, and even from soaked and wrung out paper pulp, and then painted.
