And, in general, the land had a more practical purpose than aesthetic, on it was a zone for keeping pets, poultry and livestock, as well as growing food of plant origin. In the estates of the nobles, the improvement of the local area had a slightly different character.

In cities, pavers were more common. Over time, the improvement of the adjacent territory of a private house reached a new level, they began to use concrete. Garden sculptures, columns and
retaining walls, as well as paths and steps, were made from it. As for the style, the influence of Europe was very felt. Gardens were designed according to a regular pattern, in the image and likeness of Versailles. And also on the model of
classic English gardens in a landscape style. The latter was more common among the nobility of the small estate.
