Ako zdobiť záhradu, usadlosť, dacha pozemok (50 fotografií)

I would like the plot located near the house or dacha to be like a paradise corner. For a city dweller it is, after all, more a place for recreation, although, in the presence of beds, this recreation is very peculiar)))) Nevertheless, the decoration of the site – dacha, garden, homestead – cares for all owners. The set of possibilities is wide. There are even different styles, so that they all look different, expressing the individuality of the owner. True, this is in the case if you decorated it yourself, by your own efforts. Let not all according to the canons of landscape design … But it is precisely such, decorated by amateurs, somehow more cozy.

Plot planning

The first thing you should do when you get a plot – to reflect on what and where you will be located. Spaschu determine where the house will stand – at the beginning of the site, in the middle, closer to the far edge of it. Then “arrange” the rest of the planned buildings. If you plan to build, build, determine the place under the bath, then place the outbuildings – barn-housing, chicken coop, woodstove, vegetable garden beds and greenhouses, determine where the garden will be. Next come already places of rest – these are sheds, gazebos.

The main buildings on the plan is, now between them lay the paths. Straight paths are needed only in one case, if the site is long narrow. In this case, a smooth path to the far end of it visually make it closer. To all other objects it is better to make them winding, with smooth curves.

Now it’s time to think about the placement of decorations for the site. First of all, these are flowerbeds and flower beds. They are built quickly, planted with annuals in the first season will please you, while everything else is still in the process of construction and beauty is still far away. A longer affair – the device of alpinariums and rockeries. Nataschaschet and lay a couple or three tons of stones – it’s not a joke, in addition, they are planted, mostly perennials, the final look take only after three or four years. And that, only if you immediately all the plantings selected and planted correctly, which without experience – unprecedented luck.

Want to surprise your friends and neighbors? Paint the vases with luminescent paint. They’ll glow as darkness falls, giving your lawn an unusual look.

The second option for turning ordinary things into extraordinary things is to use chrome-effect car paint. Paint a few stones or the same pots, and get mirrored stones….

Another traditional type of decoration – small or large water bodies – ponds and ponds. Very small ones are built quickly – from a tire, so in general for a couple of hours. On the arrangement of more voluminous may take a couple of days. But ponds to arrange before the house is built and laid paths, it is not worth it. This decoration save closer to the finish line. Also after the main construction comes time to put pergolas, arches, awnings. And just under the curtain, begin to play with backlighting, although there are very simple and original ideas. For example, take a tin can, make holes in it, but not just like that, but according to the scheme, creating a pattern. Inside you can get an ordinary low-power lamp, and if there is no electricity yet, put a candle and so put / hang near the house.

Such a decoration of the site can be hung in the garden or on the veranda. It is not difficult to make, it looks great, but only in the dark)))

A little about styles

The most common style in our country is “naturgarden”, although many owners do not realize it. These are those plots on which there is everything at once – entrance-parade zone, garden, recreation area. And the areas are small and all, or almost all, zones are visible. Naturstil allows you to create plots with any kind of landscapes by focusing on the existing topography and soils. Got a wetland? Improve it slightly by adding a pond or making a swamp, leaving natural plantings and adding decorative ones, ennobling the banks. You can make a dry stream or build a natural stream. Is your plot flat? Organize the site on the type of meadow, you can – alpine lawn. Put a pergola, plant ivy.

For romantic naturals, the same style is closer. It is characterized by rose-covered arbors, manicured lawns, flower beds, which are adjacent to thoughtfully overgrown secluded places.

Rustic style is easily recognizable by the characteristic “household” elements of decor. Inner fences – wicker or stile, flowers – in tubs, cans, carts. Benches and garden furniture are deliberately rough, if painted, then dark tinting compound, not covering colors.

English style can choose lawn lovers. Any free area is sown with lawn grass. This type of garden can be characterized by two words” everything in a pile”. In English gardens everything can really be mixed up: garden/garden is a single concept, vases are placed everywhere and all the free spaces are occupied by grass. Another feature is ivy-covered walls, lots of roses, statuettes and amusing figurines placed in appropriate places.

A classic garden is designed strictly according to the plan. This is the option when everything is clear, boundaries, shapes, height of bushes and borders. All under the ruler and even. In strictly allotted places installed fancy benches, next to which arrange fountains, install decorative vases with flowers, statues and columns.

Fences and fences

The first thing to do is to fence the plot. It is understandable: building materials must be brought in, and how to protect them? Behind the fence is easier. If possible, it is better to immediately put a beautiful, capital, reliable fence. Not all of them cost a lot. Budget options can also be very even attractive. The main thing in this case is the idea, and they are in the photo. So from the combination of long and short boards can turn out an interesting fence, more transparent from above and almost without slits from below.

If the boards are placed with a rib, the effect is even more interesting. If you don’t see it, you won’t believe it …

With thin fresh boards you can make a beautiful fence, which uses the principles of wicker. The boards are passed between the posts and bent.

You can make a distinctive fence of humpback. Povozhit will have to – and treat well from parasites, and pick up the boards one to another so that the gaps were as small as possible. Perhaps you will have to work them with an axe or planer. But hump is almost a throwaway material, prices for it are low, so there is a chance to get a designer fence for little money.

More models and photos of wooden fences in this article.

If the funds allow, you can put something monumental, like a fence made of stone or brick. Work and money will require a lot, but it will stand for a long time.

For the internal division of the site such thorough fences are not necessary. For the garden, you can put a lattice made of a thin bar, grow a hedge, weave a wicker.

If you are “lucky” and in your garden there is a blind wall, it can also be decorated with a kind of fence, on which to let curly plants. An interesting variant is shown below. When the ivy will grow a little bit will be very beautiful. Instead of ivy you can plant clematis. In winter, the view, of course, worse, but in summer …

How to decorate a garden plot with flowers

This part of the garden arrangement brings the fastest results. Annual flowers bloom in just a few weeks after planting, perennials also please, growing more every week. About regular flowerbeds there is a separate article, and here we will place a few interesting ideas that can give a boost to the choice of garden style.

The decoration of the site consists often of little things. For example, an ordinary wooden box is easily turned into a garden decoration – interesting coloring and non-standard installation – hang on ropes, which are designed as hands. The post is used as a base for hanging pots with ampel flowers.

From ordinary pots make sculptures. Select them of different sizes, fasten them with wire, add a little paint or plants – everyone’s fantasy … get marvelous figures.

Even blasted rubber gloves are used. It is good that the colors are bright and the base is dense. Pour soil, plant annuals, tie them to trees or ropes, nail them to fences. Fun and bright.

Everyone knows about the fact that car tires are used to make flowerbeds and vases, but not many people know about the fact that you can make a wonderful swan-shaped flowerbed out of boards. Such a wonderful swan turned out: cut out the “feathers”, fastened with wire, glued, head and neck sawed out of the board.

For those who are not afraid of difficulties, there is a more complicated option: a flowerbed in two tiers. We made an arch, spread geotextile and mesh, poured a layer of soil, in which we planted light-loving plants. Shade-hardy flowers grow in the niche formed at the bottom. Such an unusual two-tiered flower bed.

Highlights of our garden: water bodies

Perhaps, the second after flowerbeds, the favorite decoration of the site – ponds and ponds. The picturesque combination of water and plants mesmerizes, gives coolness in summer. Registration of ponds is a creative process and there are many styles here too. You can make a plank floor around it. And not to agonize with their painting and impregnation, they can be not wooden, and composite – there is a new material that looks very similar to wood. The only difference is that it does not rot, does not change color. This material is called decking. It can be used for decking an open veranda or terrace, near the pool. An example of its use around the pond you see in the photo.

You can also lay out the space around the pond with slabs of stone. This arrangement will take more time, but many people like this option better. To all the decoration will not “float” will have to remove part of the soil, pour crushed stone, tamped, on top – a layer of sand. On it you can already lay the slabs. Spaces can be filled with a mixture of sand and cement, excess carefully sweep out, and then either wait for the rain, or water the pavement – the cement will set, fixing the slabs. The pavement will be secure.

Using the same technology, you can lay out the edges with boulders collected on the riverbank (or bought in the garden center).

If the paths in the garden are made of paving stones, it makes sense to formalize the shore of the pond as well. The technology is known, only the material is different.

Decorating a garden or cottage with improvised materials

As you probably realized, you can make a decoration for the garden from any object or thing. The main thing is the idea, then – a little imagination and labor, and the decor is ready. For example, around the tree you can make a table, a small terrace, a bench and use this corner for rest.

Often there are stumps left on the plot. Uproot them for a long time, in the process trample all around… They stick out until they become rotten and fall apart themselves. And you can make very interesting things out of stumps. For example – to use as a flowerbed.

Or make an interesting figure from it for the garden.

About prosaic, but necessary – toilets

These buildings sometimes appear before fences, because without them – trouble. Builders will master all the nearby cubbyholes, and who, I wonder, will like it. So the most necessary, perhaps, building on the site – the toilet. And why are we talking about toilets in relation to the decoration of the site? Because this building can be made so that it does not have to be hidden. To put on display – also not an option, but it is not necessary to camouflage. For example, a standard birdhouse can be made of logs. It will turn out to be a mini hut.

Plant around plants, make a nice path, and this corner of the garden will also be attractive. For example, like the photo below.

A few more variants on the same theme. One and the same simple design can be decorated in different ways. Style you choose depending on the one in which the dacha or homestead plot is decorated.

Well, if you need a stone toilet, why not design it in the style of a medieval castle. Only crowds of tourists will need to drive away….
