Where to start landscaping a personal plot? Designing is a very exciting and creative process, and, of course, it’s worth trying to create a project of your own site yourself.
First of all, all existing buildings, paths, communications, stored plants and so on should be transferred to paper.
Secondly, landscaping of a personal plot should be done in some style. And you need to decide what exactly you want to see in the end. This may be the so-called “regular style”. It respects the symmetry of lines, strict geometry and impeccable order. You can use the style of the English garden. His leitmotif is natural immediacy. Everything should be located naturally: and trees, and ponds, and paths, and flower arrangements.
Pretty popular today is landscaping a Chinese-style infield. Here the most important thing is harmony, everything must be subordinate to the laws of Feng Shui. You can also use the Japanese style, in which the garden always consists of 13 stones. One of them must be surely hidden.
Very often they use a rustic style, where there are always wells, wattle fences, figures of birds and large nests on trees. Well, if you want to get a piece of paradise, then use the
Moorish style. Landscaping of a personal plot (photo on the left) in this style involves a sea of flowers, cozy benches, picturesque fountains and the presence of voiced birds.
Having decided on the style and having a plan on paper, you can indulge in fantasy in more detail. To begin with, divide the entire site into zones: the front door, the recreation area, the household and the orchard zone. It is advisable that there is a beautiful flower garden in front of the living room windows, the garden is on the sunny side and closer to the kitchen, the playground is well visible and the outbuildings are in the far corners of the garden.
Now you can cut out all the planned items from paper. This can be a pond, a greenhouse, a gazebo, a fountain, a vegetable garden, fruit trees, flower beds, and even a doghouse. And move them on your paper site plan. When planning planting, remember that they have the ability to grow, and in a few years a small seedling will turn into a huge tree. When you precisely decide that landscaping of a personal plot will look just like that, then fix all the paper elements in their places. Now you can begin to implement your plan.
Separately, I would like to note the improvement of the garden. More recently, they completely got rid of it, placing lawns and ornamental plants everywhere. But today more and more people want to have their own beds. And in order not to take up much space with them, you need to use mixed crops, especially since many plants grow better in close proximity. Take at least carrots, it will feel great next to a tomato, peas or beans. Also, this root crop will not refuse the neighborhood with radishes, lettuce or parsley. But with beets it is better not to plant it. In addition, many herbs and flowers repel pests. For example, daffodils save moles and mice, marigolds from nematodes, aphids and scoops. Kotovnik scares away earth fleas and Colorado beetles. And garlic - apple moths, cabbage flies, snails and slugs. Following all these small tips, you can completely complete the landscaping of the home garden with your own hands and achieve an amazing result.
