Nature makes it possible to take off the bustle of the city, relax, gain new forces. Therefore, it is so important to plant on the country site only those plants and build the architectural structures that create comfort and seem to be beautiful owners.
Each owner of the country site seeks to create a comfortable for himself on him, for his family space. Comfortable both in domestic and psychological sense. Inesl ideas about household amenities in people are more or less similar, the concept of psychological comfort is very individual. One person loves expanses, the other, small closed territories. Someone landing the motley flower beds, because his eyes need a nice. Acto is limited to green lawns: the distround excites his vision, prevents relaxing.

Fantasy from wood
Photo R.Selomeventodevo- very plastic and rich "features" material. There are many decorative techniques for its processing. Wooden sculptures can be created by working with a bar (even untreated log), with a spike, board. Of the birch stems, sawed into pieces, it is easy to make a horse or a tax. A little harder to make a funny car: you will need birch sleeves,Photo R.Schelomese residents of boards and must-fantasy. If you hoist on the fuels with root roofs from the bark, it turns out the feeder "on the bitter leg". Walking through the forest, it is always easy to find intricate squigs, in the outlines of which the silhouettes of birds and animals are guessed. Surely slightly polling them and the sculpture is ready. Inhabiting the landscape with wooden sculptures, you make it cozy, "alive." This design is suitable primarily for the garden in the country style.
"Filling" landscapes - arbor, benches, reservoirs, system of tracks, flower beds and even beds are performed according to the selected style. The river garden is well put in a log gazebo, well, a "toy" mill, a flower garden in the form of a cart. Traditional attributes of the Japanese Garden - "dry" stream, stone lights, zucubai (bowl for hand ablution). All this and in the other case, a kind of landscape scenery. They form the garden space, his mood and even to some extent dictate behavior of people. Thus, the winding track system in the landscape garden has to leisurely walks, thoughts, while the strict geometry of the regular garden of a regular garden calls for a vigorous vigorous walking.
Edible flower beds
Photo M.romaknevyadisane beds today are popular more than ever. Ito is clear. There were those times when the cultivation of vegetables in garden sites was a vital thing. Now the cultivation of the neck is a hobby delivering the host enjoyment. The beds are becoming more original and sometimes even more like flower beds. Picking up the "residents" for the bed, first of all followPhoto, O.Voronina to take care of their biological compatibility. It is known, for example, that next to pea and beans, cucumbers, bad onions and garlic grow well. One of the possible options is to plant each culture separately, allowing it by alother of this, but its own territory. Methods for designing separate landings set. Cucumbers are convenient to plant in wicker "baskets", the knob of which is used as a support. Garden strawberries, dill, beets and cabbage should be placed in separate containers, lifting them over the ground level. Experts argue that at high beds, the harvest matures earlier than on ordinary flat. You can lift them at different heights: and 30-40, and 70-80cm.
The selected style will affect and what plants you will populate the site. Girl grapes, sunflowers, Malva are good for country landscapes. Flower garden from roses, surrounded by low rigid hedges, is the regular garden attribute. Very differently decorated water structures in landscape and regular landscapes. Forwards these ponds with overgrowths, leaving the impression of natural vitality, looping streams in the thick of herbs. Regular landscape reservoirs seemed to be drawn by a ruler and circulation: they are designed in the form of a circle or rectangle. Fountains here are lush, pompous, decorated with sculpture - ambitious proof that man conquered nature.
Of the most modern Russian gardens it is impossible to attribute to some one direction: this is an eclectic mixing of many styles. People travel, see a variety of landscape "pictures" and returning home, want to repeat the most likers. However, do not hurry to succumb to mass hobby alpine slides that have little in common with real alpine gardens, or to put Japanese lights where it is necessary. The presence of taste is necessary everywhere, and in landscape design too.

Wellness over water
Photo, O.Voronnina Construction of this bridge is unusually interesting, it is "flattened" from three parts: stone, wooden and cement (author Idea-landscape architect Mikhail Puchkov). Flooring and railing was made of wood. On one side, the wooden railing is continued with masonry from artificial boulders, according to other cement "snails", which are lined with mosaic and are decorated with lanterns. It would seem that the combination of such heterogeneous materials should generate chaos and nonlapitsa, but due to the careful thoughtfulness of the crossing image it was possible to avoid. When assembling between the concrete and wooden parts of the bridge, an elastic gasket was inserted.

Mazanka for Skwort
Photo of V.Nepledova, when the migratory birds have its own housing, where they can come back. The design of a typical house is simple: four boards, relying on the bottom and crowned roof. However, like any other housing, sometimes it is built on an individual project. The prototype of the birdhouse "Stanny" (the author of the idea is "wooden fantasy") has become a mazanka-close and understandable image of the house. Immediately recall the dashing of the Walking of Divcin and Pubkov in the Ukrainian village. After all, the starly cheerful bird! It seems to us that he will be comfortable in such a house.
