From building a plan before selecting suitable plants - we tell in detail how to properly plan the country area.
The originally decorated and well-groomed house territory is a dream of any dac. Many are confident that the embodiment of this dream is possible only with the help of specialists. But you can cope and yourself. In the article we tell where to start the design of the country area and how to get a good result for seven simple steps.
How to make a project of the country area

7. We choose plants
1 Where to start the landscape design of the site: Build a plan
Designers do it in special programs on the computer. If there is such a skill, work will be much simplified. But without a computer, you can build a good landscaped project. It is desirable to start with a detailed analysis.
What you need to know for a full analysis
- The presence and level of groundwater occurrence.
- Type of microclimate.
- The predominant direction of wind movement.
- The composition of the soil.
This information will help determine the location of buildings and decorative designs, choose plants for registration, adjust the possible deficiencies of the site. Then proceed to building a plan. To do this, you need to correctly carry out measurements. Support roulette, compass, level. Tools are needed to clarify the position of objects.
First measured the perimeter of the site. After that, they begin to measure the so-called unchanged objects. These are built, large trees, flower beds that will remain in place after redevelopment. Not only their length and width is measured, but also height. In addition, the distance from each such object to the fence and other points of binding is carefully measured.
The collected dimensions are transferred to paper. You need to start drawing from choosing the scale of the future plan. It is best to choose a large, approximately 1:50 or 1: 100. Further apply according to the instructions.
Stages of building drawing
- Draw the borders.
- We celebrate buildings, residential and non-residential.
- We note unchanged objects.
- Show tracks and their direction.
- We indicate the direction of the sideways of the light and the wind rose.
The drawing transfer data to comprehensive analysis. Color pencils of different colors mark sites with high humidity, different soil composition. Focusing on the height of objects and their location, determine the illumination zones: solar, shaded and moderate. Good Tip: Perform the schemes of individual fragments of the territory on the tank. It is applied to the main scheme and transfer data. So novice designer will be easier to deal with a large amount of information.
If there is a skill working with design programs, such as SmartDraw, Garden Planner and similar to them, do not need to build a scheme on paper. The entire array of data received is loaded into a computer designer, after processing it will give a detailed plan. Plus such programs are that it is enough to add objects to create the project, to compose them, etc. It simplifies design.
2 zoning the territory
In the instructions, where to start the design of the site, it is impossible to get around a clear zoning. This means that several zones with a certain purpose are distinguished on the site. Their minimum is three. The first - residential, where the house is located, the veranda, the patio. There is a garage, shed, garden, if needed. The recreation area establishes a gazebo or pergola, swimming pool, children's playground, etc.
For each selected fragment, it is desirable to make a list of objects. This will help you not forget about the design process. Ideally, the designer project is being developed at the design stage of the house. That is, when the territory is empty. In this case, the easiest way is to draw zoning, make a list of necessary objects, conveniently place them. If the construction is already worth it, it will be more difficult, but also possible.
The boundaries of each zone must be denoted. To do this, use fences, live swelling, flower beds, tracks, etc. It is important to choose the right height of the design. For example, a rest corner is desirable to disappoint a relatively high structure. It can be a wicker hedge, pergola or a fence, seized by decorative liaans, plenty roses or other curly plants. They will protect from the sun, dust and wind.
But there is no high fence everywhere. The country area will look clumsy and small. It is better to experiment with low fences: borders, narrow flower beds, low decorative trees, shrub. You can designate the boundaries of the tracks. They lay them with gravel, paving tiles, decoing, wood, wood, stone.
3 Place the buildings and small architectural forms
Now you need to plan each of the selected zones. It is convenient to do on the fragments of the total plan on the tracing. Checking with a list, place all the necessary objects. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account several important factors. The first is the direction and size of the shadow discarded. It is best to put high buildings and designs with a northern or north-west side so that the shading is minimal.
It is necessary to familiarize themselves with the current construction techniques so that in the process of legalization of the building did not have problems. Buildings must comply with regulations. When planning, the features of the site are taken into account. The slope can be terraced to make it convenient to build. A low-spirited nizena or to equip a decorative pond, in which you can collect water from drainage trays.
The approach to all buildings should be free. It is necessary to think through the entrance to the house and economic structures, if required. For example, for an associate machine that regularly pumps septic. The design of the economic zone is somewhat more complicated if a garden is needed. Traditional beds in the form of Khololov on Earth are desirable to replace with modern modifications.
The vegetable garden with high beds is more difficult to equip, but care is easier. Yes, and the appearance is much more attractive. Ridges are equipped in frames from boards, bricks, concrete, decong, metal plates. The tracks between them are lined with rubberoid or film, fall asleep with gravel or lay out paving slabs. If necessary, close to plants.
4 We plan engineering communications
To ensure normal life, it is necessary to bring water, sewage, lighting. Think up the drainage system. The diagram marks where tubes, trays and cables must be laid. It is advisable to put them so that they do not interfere with the work on the arrangement of the territory. If it is impossible, then provide them with protection against accidental damage.
The plumbing is supplied not only to the house, but also to the garage, to the garden. We must think in advance the system of watering green plantings. Otherwise, it will have to be afar wearing water watering water for flower and lawn. Convenient option - automatic drip watering. Its arrangement will require the laying of a large number of pipes throughout the area. But it's worth it.
Comfortable space is impossible without competent lighting. In the dark, it will be necessary to at least minimize the house, household buildings, recreation area. It looks very beautifully illumination of paths, large plants, decorative designs, artificial reservoirs. This is how the atmosphere of the magic fairy tale is created. To reduce the amount in electricity bills, you can turn on the lights and lights on solar panels.
5 Place an artificial reservoir
At the local area, artificial reservoirs are placed. The type of structure depends on what purpose it is established. Good small ponds. The coast lay down a stone, brick, fall asleep by gravel. Water compositions look good around the water. If the place allows, the mini-waterfalls are equipped when the flow flows from the stone elevation. The pond can be functional if you send drainage in it. Accumulating water can be used for technical needs.
The pond is not recommended to be placed on the sun. Ideally, straight rays should cover it no more than six hours. Otherwise, it will destructively affect fish and aquatic plants that can well live in a reservoir. Do not equip it near the trees and lush shrubs. From them in the pond foliage, broken twigs, another garbage. The owner will have to constantly engage in cleaning, otherwise the wet organic starts to rot.
Another variant of the countrywater is the pool. It is installed on a spacious platform. About the bowl preferably put a canopy, equip a place to relax and sunbathing. Dimensions and shape of the design can be the most different. As the basis, the PVC container is taken, which is completely or partially bought into the ground. Put the board, set the scene, ladder, etc. Such a pool in front of the cold is preserved. You can put a temporary bowl, it is simply cleaned for the winter. But about decorative design, then you have to forget.
6 Planning tracks and sites
The diagram outlines the tracks that will link zonated territories among themselves. If you need to emphasize the clear geometry of landscape design, they are planned with straight lines and angles. To make the design of the most natural, close to natural, in the markup avoid direct angles and lines.
Different materials are chosen for paving: blocking, garden tile, brick, stone. You can float them with sand, gravel or rubble. But in this case they will have to be periodically plundered. Decinc is good for decorating a holiday platform. It is easily clean, withstands any adverse effects. Woodwear will look beautiful. The platform for barbecue or parking is discharged with a peeling stone or sidewalk tiles.
7 Choose plants and decor
It remains to choose plants. Start with tall. They are "placed" on the plan, taking into account their size in adulthood. Determine the magnitude of the shadow where they will throw it. Important moment. Large trees should be placed so that their powerful root system does not damage the tracks, communications or foundations of buildings.
Picking the varieties for the flower garden, try to collect plants with a flowing replacing each other so that the flower beds are always bright. It is important not to overestimate your strength. A large number of beds is beautiful, but takes a lot of time and effort. Perennials easier to care. You can comply with flower beds only of them or "dilute" by annuals. Color gamma is selected arbitrarily. Someone prefers a violent multiwall, someone is a concise monochrome landscape, occasionally "diluted" with bright accents.
In the latter case, lawn is required. It is beautiful, but requires constant attention. It is difficult for a green lawn to care for, it needs regular haircut, feeding, watering, weeding, jerseys. Landscape decorative elements: flowerbed from an old bike or carts, chubs or vases with plants. Good fountains, garden sculptures, bird feeders. All that is enough fantasy.
We dealt out where to start a project of the landscape design of the country area. It is always difficult to start, but do not be afraid. If there is no confidence in your abilities, you can start with a small platform, then expand the territory. It is necessary to learn the theory, work out in practice. Then, with time, the cottage will turn into a fabulous corner.
