1 plot with pit
If you got a plot with a noticeable deepening, you can get rid of it, falling asleep the earth and landing the lawn. Or you can try to make an interesting decorative element from this pit.
- Working a bit above the shape and depth, you can make a pond. For a small pit, a plastic decorative bottom is suitable. For a large pond, more than 10 square meters will have to make a concrete bottom. It is a durable, but expensive and causes difficulties in creating. But the middle pond can be made with their own hands with minimal effort: give the deepening the desired outlines, clean the ground from sharp stones. Then shook the film: PVC, polymer or butyl rubber. The latter will last about 50 years, and the service life of a dense film from PVC is about 10 years. Further, lay out the gravel layer on the film, fill in water deepening, let it stand up and start planting plants and the placement of another decor.
- Another way to beat the deepening is to arrange a zone for recreation. In this case, it will be necessary to dissolve the bottom and walls, lay out a wooden base or pour gravel and arrange garden furniture. It looks like this solution is very unusual and original.
2 plot with hill
Get rid of the hill in the country area is more difficult than from the pit - you will have to order large techniques, get rid of unnecessary land or distribute it throughout the area. Instead, you can try to beat this landscape feature.
To do this, try to equip the Alpine slide on the hill. Such a landing imitates a mountain landscape with low-spirited and curly plants, so the bulge on the site will not stand out even greater, as it were, if you were put on us ordinary plants.
To create a beautiful composition, you will need to give the hill a clearer view, to highlight the tier steps, choose boulders and large pebbles to create a natural, close to nature, effect. Plants choose for such a composition easily - everything is suitable for you that grows on real alpine rocks: dwarf coniferous and shrubs, perennial flowering herbs. If you want more colors, land Lavender, Iris, Barbaris and Adonis.
3 plot in the shade
If it happened that you have a small garden, and most of it is constantly in the shade of home or from trees for the neighboring fence, you will have to think about how to make it comfortable for relaxing and successfully planting plants. There are several ways to beat such a garden.
- Pick up the teothelubile plants. For the vegetable garden is a salad, beans, cerema, celery and leek. Astilba, Volzhanka and hydrangea are suitable from decorative shrubs. You can also plant some varieties of colors: Koleus, forget-me-not, violets and irises.
- Make it in the style of minimalism. If the shadow covers the garden most of the day, perhaps it makes sense not to deal with the conditions, but to abandon lush flower beds and a wide variety of plants. Square high-quality lawn, pick up beautiful garden furniture, put several plants in pots and enjoy the rest.
- Make a heated pool. An ordinary pool in the shadow garden is not the most successful idea, especially in the middle lane of Russia. A pool with the ability to heal water will solve the question than to fill the site and how to spend time.
4 plot with bad soil
Soil in the garden can be stony, sandy or just impoverished after many years of use. If you know that it does not grow anything on your site, try to approach the landscape design differently.
- Distribute a thin layer of fertile soil on the area and fall out the lawn.
- Use wooden podiums to create a large and comfortable recreation area.
- Use plants in pots and containers. They can be applied to decorate tracks or space in front of the house.
