Landscaping the site do it yourself

Quite often, passing by large private territories, you can find landscape elements in terms of design. To date, many owners try to do everything possible so that their plot attract the attention of residents, friends, as well as guests of the territory.

As for the direct placement of the site, this event for many people is a kind of creativity. This is especially true of those who can delete landscape design a large amount of time.

Separately, I would like to say that in this matter the most important thing is the desire that allows you to create simply magical design compositions, while spending the minimum of cash.

On the Internet you can find dozens of video channels, on which the owners boast their achievements in this area. Almost all of these people focus on the fact that it is enough to achieve a qualitative result only desire.

In this article we will try to disassemble the main details related to the improvement of the site with their own hands. Rating much in advance, it can be noted that, by and large, this is a relatively simple lesson, which for strength and beginners in the design of landscapes.

Main features of the improvement of the site

First of all, I would like to note that today you can significantly simplify the entire process of choosing the most suitable for the design site. It is worth saying that now the hosts just use the Internet to find ready-made accommodation options. Fortunately, hundreds of sites on which there are not only high-quality photos of ready-made plots are available, but also have some descriptions associated with landscape design.

In this case, if we are talking about the use of ready-made accommodation options, you can pay attention to the total cost of design elements, as well as on the dimensions of the site. Quite often, the owners have a limited space, within which it is very difficult to create something full of or at least attractive.

In such a situation, you should draw up a list of what you would like to see on the site. First of all, it is worth listening to the opinions of residents. For example, someone has a desire to grow crop growing, and someone craves to create a small pool. All this can be quite fulfilled, if you take into account that everyone will deal with a specific amount of work. It should be borne in mind that almost any objects, including sandbox, gazebo, flower beds and many other design elements, can be placed on the site.

Well, although I would like to clarify that such objects should not be treated solely as the design component. Gazons and pools must be full-fledged places for recreation. This is very important, otherwise there is simply no special sense from the improvement.

In addition, there are some recommendations that allow not to get into the unpleasant situation associated with communications and other components of the site:

• If the site is planned to install a large number of objects, it is necessary to analyze the location of communications tools in advance. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account the correct location of the tracks and designer compositions. You need to withstand everything in a single style, otherwise the area will look inhaver or ridiculous.
• As for colors and other plants used for decorating, here you need to take care of the harmonicity of plantings first. Perhaps there are already some plants in the territory, and they should also become a worthy component of the site. In addition, it is impossible to use too many bright colors, otherwise the other elements of the private territory will go to the background.
• The combination of stones and plants. If you look at many modern solutions related to the improvement of the site, we can see that it is often near plants, including colors, stones are located. They are perfectly combined, especially if the rocarium is created or a small alpine slide.
• Variety of decor. Frequently, the owners use a wide variety of materials to create an original decor. Specialists recommend in this case not to "spray" and use elements from one material in one place.

As already mentioned, it is best to use ready-made design solutions that the landscaping of the site passed according to plan. The results of their own idea, unfortunately, we will be able to see only after a number of responsible events. Accordingly, the result may not justify expectations.

First steps in the landscaping of the site

Before starting the landscaping of the site, it is necessary to make some preliminary actions.

First you need to take a piece of paper and create your own landscaping plan. For this you do not need to be an artist, it is fairly schematically to portray those elements that will be located on the site. Accordingly, if all this is done in the right scale, you can approximately imagine exactly how the transfigured area will look like.

During the creation of such a plan, it is necessary to take into account the convenience of movement over the site, the location of objects, as well as many other details. It is especially serious to approach the creation of a plan if the territory is planned to create a miniature waterfall or a tiny reservoir. In this case, it is necessary to monitor that the above objects do not intersect with paths, and also did not interfere with daily cleaning or other events. If some inconsistencies still have a place to be, you should look for any ways to find them the problem of the situation.

If you do not want to invent something, you need to find ready-made options for the landscaping. As we have already mentioned, you can find a lot of various examples on the Internet. However, in this case, you should look for complete information about the plot, including its dimensions and a detailed area of \u200b\u200bthe territory.

Landscaping plot

It should be recognized that it is landscaping is the main improvement of any plot. In this case, on the territory you can land the colors, a thick lawn, whole shrubs. Most often, the landscape designer, which not only analyzes the terrain, is attracted to such robots, but also presents a full report associated with possible landscaping options.

Often the process of landscaping consists of the following steps:

• Landscape design. In this case, the designer who took up the work should present his vision of the design of the owners, as well as listen to their opinion. It is on this basis that the design of the site is created. The designer must provide detailed drawings, as well as other materials, in some cases and three-dimensional model. All of these materials will allow approximately the scale and features of work on landscaping.
• After the coordination of all moments associated with the improvement of the site occurred, you can proceed directly to the main process. In this case, we need to take out all the garbage present in the site. Moreover, it is necessary to get rid of any elements that may disrupt the plan of improvement. At the same time, you need to start all the items necessary for improvement. It is best to do it in one goal, so that everything is at hand, especially if necessary.
• Zoning territory. Designer working on the project should designate the area of \u200b\u200bthe site on its drawings. This is an important aspect, since on the basis of this information we must divide the territory on the zones.
• Export / dressing of soil. If we are planning landscaping, it is necessary to remember that the soil located on the territory may be unsuitable for planting plants. Accordingly, unnecessary soil must be removed, for this you should first set the layer thickness. After that, it is necessary to make a new soil and evenly distribute it in the area. It is quite suitable and a thin layer of soil.
• Next, you need to follow the plan to be created and remove the cutlers for the created decorative reservoirs. At the same stage, large decorative stones should be placed in the right places.
• Now you need to take care of creating automatic irrigation systems, as well as lighting. This is an important point, since it is better to automate all on a large area, otherwise, in the summer, the plants can be very quickly torn under the scorching sun.
• Creating tracks and sites. It should be borne in mind that before landscaping you need to arrange all the places where vegetation should not be. Accordingly, after that, it appears the opportunity without any problems to carry out landscaping.
• Tore of plants. Previously, you need to make high-quality selection of plants so that only the most attractive vegetation can be found on the plot.
• Immediately after that, you need to position all the available plants throughout the site. Most often, this is done under the supervision of a landscape designer, which should control the overall process, as well as the formation of the boundaries of the compositions created.
• With the help of a border, the boundaries of compositions are created. At the same time, you need to pay attention to the automatic irrigation systems. After the lawn is laid (or landing), it is necessary to test watering. Of course, everything should work flawlessly, as any repair work in the future can lead to undesirable consequences.
• At the very end, finishing the territory is carried out.

Installation of decorative stones

Earlier we mentioned that the decorative stone is an excellent solution for the improvement of private territory. At the same time, if it comes directly about the process of laying by the stone, it is worth analyzing all the preliminary actions. As mentioned in the last paragraph, this procedure is carried out before plant landing (if possible).

Again, before laying stones, you should think about creating a detailed plan. We are talking about the correct arrangement of decorative elements you need to take care in advance when the owners or landscape designer create everything from scratch.

Accordingly, in this case, the stones of various dimensions are selected, they are uniformly throughout the site. In some cases, whole compositions may be created from the stone, which will decorate the territory.

Most often, large stones are located near the plants. In this case, it turns out quite attractive designer component. In addition, right on the basis of natural material you can create whole flowerbeds, and it is often possible to detect multi-level compositions in the sites.

Well, at the very end I would like to note that the stone can be the basis for the fence of tracks and other objects. Accordingly, it becomes clear that the stone can be used in a wide variety of design ideas, but most importantly - make sure that the site looks attractive.

Creating tracks and other objects

As already mentioned, the creation of tracks in the plots is the most important process that is carried out at the very beginning of the improvement. Accordingly, you need to decide in advance with exactly how the tracks will look like.

Of course, it is best to use all the same decorative stone for this. With it, you can create a fairly narrow, but a durable track, which, besides, will also be attractively looking.

Otherwise, you can find the usual paving slabs, which is also well suited for the plot.

If you need something simpler and cheap, you can try to pour the concrete created by the boundaries of the road. This is a particularly good option, if the tracks are narrow, then concrete will be required quite a bit.

After that, the last stage of work comes. In this case, you need to try to build a small gazebo, which would become a real decoration of the territory. In modern conditions, the arbors can be found in construction supermarkets. It is most important to do so that the gazebo fit perfectly into the landscape design created.
