This garden is changing along the whims of the sun and rain. In cloudy weather, the English landscape garden, in the heat he brings the memories of southern travels.

It is worth entering the hospitably open the garde gate, and for some reason ITALY is immediately remembered. What is the reason? The visualness of the summer day or in smooth outlines of uneven, as if flowing down to a cozy arbor, relief? The garden was thinking more like English landscape, but the Sun transforms him into several times a year. However, it is enough to get here frowning in the morning to feel the whole poetry of the "foggy albion" in the transparent watercolors of flower beds and the gloomy shades of wet needles.
The garden is changing along the whims of the sun and the rain, according to the daily laws of nature. It seems he has already forgotten about his man-made, because from the time of its creation passed 7 years, the plants managed to grow and get used to each other. Probably, only the owners and designers, created this "oasis", remember his story ...
The corner of the garden occupy coniferous shrubs. They are beautiful at any time of the year. Asima, when wet snow falls asleep, their silhouettes acquire the sculptural expressiveness of the earth (15 hundreds) after a long construction was a slightly attachment of the clay platform, on which in the middle, occupying a significant area, stood a house. Rear and left of the solid structure remained quite a bit. A little better, the case was with the entrance and the right of the wicket side. Although the wide road from the gate before entering the garage clearly prevented the coast of architectural thought and did not very harmonize with the already originating idea of the landscape composition. AESLI Remember the difficulties of eight-year old with a search for suitable plants ... The anadeal of large trees and shrubs could only dream. Awards from the construction troubles of the owners wanted as soon as possible to hide behind the saving greens of the garden, sit for a cup of tea in a cozy corner of the arbor, move into the affectionate world of natural, slightly unusual, and therefore even more attractive nature.
To get out of the circle of complex tasks and turn a lifeless "building site" in a beautiful and fancy garden, long-known landscape architecture techniques helped. The prototype of the composition was the English parks with their elusive ghost and romantic mood, with paths connecting small closed spaces into the overall plot, each with their character and history. But the most important and very bold decision was the project of a significant change in the relief of the site.
Creating an artificial relief is a new, but very risky. Harmoniously enter the "Mountains and Canyons" to our usual "plane" is far from everyone. This case of vertical redevelopment was quite successful. The desperation of success, apparently, in solving a landscape architect, not to go beyond the boundaries of the natural difference of heights, and working within it, forming, like a sculptor, relief from the original "clay piece".
Around the lantern in the porch blossoms bluish flusted phlox. His bright twig even climbed under the dwarf. In a row, the buds of a pink bush from the right southern corner to the far north level of land dropped almost a meter. This difference was increased by another 1.5m, and a wonderful closed area appeared from the fences and home corner. There was a place for gazebo-pergola and barbecue. From the side of the fence, the soil strengthened with a powerful retaining wall from the reinforced concrete, licens it with a multi-colored granite blocking. According to the contour of the site, between the retaining wall and the fence, a fairly wide soil strip was left at the initial level. It created a living fence from Barbaris of different varieties. Even in the first week after planting young bushes, the site was closed from the northern winds and neighborhood. Now this is the most secluded and quiet place in the garden. The rapid wall, walking along the house, is arranged pretty cool mound, it is located roccage. The clocking of granite walls and stairs he looks very naturally like a slope of a rocky hill, a low coniferous shrub, from which large boulders and low neat grass peeking out. The clay, moved from this area of the site, served as a good material for the formation of the terrace in front of the house. The triangular, bordered on two sides by the retaining wall of the terrace turned out perfectly horizontal. Extended from the "zero" level, from the wicket, the horizontal emphasizes the soft downstream of the relief in the direction to the house. The wide ribbons of flower beds, reaching along the retaining walls, are made in English style and please the eye with gentle paints of flowering plants from the last spring to the first autumn frosts. These straight elegant bands equilibrate the strict architecture of the house and live, fluid plastic garden. A boring gray "garage" road and a mixing space around the building seem just a frame for "pastel painting" of colors.
The left corner of the site is decorated in the form of a stredized lawn, surrounded by a flower bed in the same English style: large, replacing each other spots of watercolor tones and groups of decorative shrubs. Sandy side Composition made of coniferous plants All year round covers the staircase leading down to the gazebo.
In the living hedge of Barbaris Tunberg bushes alternate plants with green and purple foliage. This makes an additional diversity in the picture of the gardening part of the site, parade. It wonderfully beats the architecture of the house: its main entrance is located in the depths of the garden and is not visible at all from the wicket. This made it possible to create a fairly extended, smoothly curved track, leading from the entrance to the plot to the main accent of the composition-elevated round pad, which, like a carpet, is stretching at the porch steps. The track is laid on a small valley. The relief here is skillfully formed by moving the soil to the edges of the site. Barely a noticeable decrease in the relief towards the house was transformed into terraces, upper and lower. They gently flow one into the other, and this soft "wave" thoughtfully emphasizes the velvet greenery of the lawn. Only where the upper terrace is found with a bulk platform, a small retaining wall appears. But it is splitting, ending with "dilapidated" stone steps. An easy hint of the romance of overgrown park grots is guessed. The sides of the wall continues the scattering of boulders. They seem to be washed with rains from the creepy slope of the hill. Separate large boulders seem to grow in herbal carpet and rise above, forming a second rocky garden, consisting mainly of coniferous shrubs. Further, both terraces are gradually merged.
The look stops on a living two-color hedge. It hides the traditional part of the Russian garden. This favorite hostess is so successfully hidden that it is possible and not to know about its existence, if you do not lead here. Agave here there is something. Neat beds are framed by walls from the granite blocking, the spaces between the beds are covered with small gravel, everywhere clean and order. Ogorod is well protected by a lively hedge, which quit the wind. Warm air is a cloud in this "living room", plants in such greenhouse conditions live freely and comfortably. Behind the house is another economic detail- wooden design for drying linen. She, like everything here, was performed on an individual project. A small shopping area is completely hidden by decorative and fruit trees and shrubs. The path passing around the house leads to the second granite stairs. She returns us to the "living room", to the cozy, overgrown with the girlish grapes gazebo. Here we will say with the garden, which for many years already gives her calm beauty to people in response to their constant care and love.

Special attention deserves the device of the Drainage Garden System. The level of groundwater on this territory is quite low, but a plot with a complex relief, with closed by a broken spaces during the melting of snow and the protracted summer-autumn rains threatened to turn into a "swamp system". Pottery drainage was performed to prevent such serious danger. At the platform for recreation, at the lowest point, the well died with a diameter of 1.2 m and a depth of 2.7 m (an additional layer). He was laid "dry" brick, filled with butt and poured on top of gravel. The second well is under a round gravel area at the porch. There is a system of stormwater drains coming from home. The locations of the wells are marked by large boulders. In order for water to be stored at the foundations of the retaining walls, drainage pipes were carried out along them, also connected to the wells.
