Unique and convenient landscape design of a small area
At the present time, private houses with small plots of land, on which various landscape designs have been created, are gaining more and more popularity. A small plot allows you to realize your idea, but at the same time not to spend a lot of time caring for the backyard area. To create a truly unique landscape design for a small area in front of the house, you should follow these simple tips.
Basic principles for creating a backyard territory design
In order not to regret the various troubles that may arise in the process of creating a landscape in the future, it is better to follow the plan. It will allow you to quickly and competently think through all the details, and as a result get the perfect personal plot.
Proper layout
To use the entire territory as efficiently as possible, you should take care of the scheme or plan of your site in advance. It should be noted not only the residential part, but also all kinds of outbuildings, if any. Next, you should select those elements that can actually be placed on the territory (arbors, fountains, etc.), and determine their location. Then you can start planning paths and green spaces.
We work with geology
Before selecting plants and seedlings, it is important to determine what kind of soil is on the site, whether there is groundwater and many similar factors. This is necessary so that the design of a small area in front of the house not only looks elegant, but is also practical to maintain. Those who plan to plant trees should also consider that over time the crown will become much larger, and may cast a shadow on the area where flowers or shrubs will grow. Therefore, it is worth planning a landing taking into account all these parameters.
Zoning: for or against?
Zoning is often the main principle behind creating beautiful and inviting designs. But landscape design in a small area will not allow you to create all the necessary zones, so it is better to refuse a clear gradation. You can combine a recreation area and an economic or entrance and children’s area.
Little tricks for small areas
- To visually expand the space, you can use a couple of tricks:
We mask the excess. To hide a fence or partition between different areas, use climbing plants. It can be grapes, wild ivy or liana. Such a move will perfectly fit into the landscape of a small area; - Material replacement. Instead of a rough and solid wooden (stone) fence, use a thin metal mesh. Or get a fence with a thin lattice and in bright colors – this way you will visually increase the space. Better yet, instead of a fence, plant a hedge of shrubs, for example, lilac or viburnum;
- Add vertical elements. Planting plants in different directions (vertically and horizontally) will visually expand the space. Place small bushes between the flower beds, install narrow vases or tall figures;
- We choose high-quality tracks. If you have a small area, the design should be selected based on durability. The size of the site is unlikely to change, so it is better to lay paths from stone, tile or paving stones. The more natural the material looks, the more advantageous the design looks.
To make the exterior look elegant and stylish, do not forget to take care of plants and decorative elements. Then even after years your site will remain a real green paradise.
