Colorful and fashionable DIY landscape design
Every owner who has his own house definitely thinks about creating a beautiful landscape in the yard. A variety of private house landscape designs can be found on the Internet, but to get a unique and attractive solution, it is better to combine different ideas. And in order to come up with a fashionable and practical design that is suitable for the selected area, you should carefully study the advice of designers.
What should you pay attention to when creating a design project?
Before creating a design, it is worth considering a project scheme, according to which it will be possible to continue to carry out all the work. There are basic planning points that you should start with in order to avoid missteps in the future.
Line types
The landscape around the house is always created on the basis of tile or stone paths, which should be planned in advance. In a small yard, it is better to use curved lines that will help visually increase the area. And if there is a lot of space, you can safely lay out even garden paths at a right angle. You can also immediately add borders for flower beds, future “islands” or other elements.
Lighting
If the lamps are based on solar panels – everything is quite simple, you need to mark their location on the future design plan. The further planting of plants and the placement of decorative elements will depend on this. And for those who want to complement the landscape near the house with lighting from electricity, you should take care of the power line in advance.
Reservoirs
If the site allows you to create a lake, you should take care of the surroundings in advance. These can be additional decorative elements in the form of stones or figurines. It is imperative to think over a cleaning system so that after a while the lake does not spoil the landscape design of a private house with its appearance.
After lining up the main elements on the plan, you can proceed to planting plants and selecting the rest of the decor elements.
What zones divide the plot for planting plants?
The division into zones was created in order to make it easier to choose the type of plants that best complement the landscape design in front of the house. The following zones can be distinguished:
- Near the entrance. If you have a large house, you should start thinking about landscape design from the “entrance zone”. Here it is best to plant plants in a cascade, lay out beautiful and high borders. This is exactly the site, looking at which the first impression of the design will arise;
- For relax. Ideal for any green growing vertically. You can also use various shrubs that will help hide the owners of the house from neighbors’ views. Flower lovers can also create several flower beds in this area;
- Economic. This includes those areas that will hide the walls of various buildings located on the territory of the yard. The creation of such a zone with lush plants will ideally complement the landscape design of a private house;
- Park. Territory for creating a lawn, planting long and large flower beds and architectural structures.
What plants are suitable for landscape design?
Among the standard plant options that are added to any landscaping near the house, lavender, marigolds and marigolds can be distinguished. Chrysanthemums or asters are often planted in flowerbeds – they are the most popular and unpretentious flowers. For contrast, they can be supplemented with annual plants, such as calendula.
Clematis, hops and various types of ivy are ideal for vertical planting. They can be placed on metal or wooden arches so as not to be tied up every year. Less commonly, lilacs and creepers are used for vertical elements.
To complement the landscape with contrasting plants, pay attention to lilies – they will be a great color accent, regardless of the variety. To create volume, you can use different types of ferns. But in order to emphasize the effectiveness of the created compositions, you can add echinacea.
