You need to start with the tools. Nothing special, just a compass, a roulette longer and a pencil with paper.

Planning a suburban area
First, carefully measure the area - the length and width. Plan where the house, the economic block, the toilet will be. Do not forget about the tracks. Compass need, to understand where the south is. On the south side will need to navigate when you plant plants.
It seems that everything you need is planned. But no. Think about why you need a cottage? Let's say to relax after the hassle of work, rest from the city noise. In this case, where without a bath? And you also need a place to swing ... Well, the most important thing is barbecue, barbecue, for it, too, need space.
If the country is most important to you garden, over time, it may be that the area allocated for vegetables and fruits is small. Yes, and a summer shower after work day would not hurt.
What is this all about? Yes to what then add unplanned construction it will be difficult without breaking the rules of construction. In order not to make excuses to the fire service and feverishly to think about how to move a couple of meters, say, a bath, you should know the basic rules.

Distance between buildings can not be less than 6 m. This is if the building material is fireproof. If the roof is made of flammable material - 8 m. In case the buildings (both the roof and walls) are not fire resistant, the distance should be increased to 15 m. These are the requirements of the fire inspection. The house itself, as a rule, is erected not less than 5 meters from the edge of the site. - Planning your site, be sure talk to the neighbors. Imagine how uncomfortable it would be if it turns out that your compost pit is located near the neighbor's arbor. However, their resting places should be separated with shrubs.
- The location of the house is, as they say, the master's. But often the house build "face" to the road. It happens that the site is very narrow and long. Then it is better to have the house on the short side - so beautiful.
- Do not forget the wind rose, about the location of the sun (their designers-beginners just often do not take into account). If the table or garden swing is located on the west side, then you will soon feel the mercilessness of the sun's rays. As for the brazier, then if you do not take into account the wind rose, you will suffer from flying sparks.
And now the most difficult thing: the transfer of the plan directly to the site. For this we need square plywood sheet (plastic) with sides of 40 cm. This sheet is fixed on the rack. Rack bottom, pointed end will be fixed in the ground. Plywood draws two perpendicular lines that intersect in the center of the sheet. Nails are hammered at their ends. Then the cord as it were repeated a straight line. Places for planting trees are marked with a tape measure and a peg. Similarly, perpendiculars are determined and all buildings are transferred from the plan to the site.
Plants in landscape design
No matter how conveniently all the buildings on your site are located, the cottage will not be pleasing to the eye without ornamental plants. What are they like?
- Trees. They will not only hide you from the wind, will give coolness and protect from prying eyes. They are just a pleasure to watch. Fir and thuja, which are popular now, are good, but they do not shade very well. Fruit trees will be better hidden from the sun, and with time they will be given juicy fruits. In general, any tree is suitable for the dacha. If you correctly beat, then everyone can be a great element of the landscape.
-
Lawns. They too very common among summer residents. There are many types of lawn grass, and the choice depends on the willingness of the owners - whether they prefer to walk barefoot or just admire the lawn. Grass can be purchased in the floorings, and you can plant yourself.
-
Weaving (curly) plants and shrubs. They perform not only a decorative role, but also delimit the territory divide it into zones. It is interesting when the shrub is planted in the form of labyrinths. Children will be happy to "get lost", hide and look for a way out. Curly greens not only beautifully frames the gate and shading arbors. She can braid frames, creating fancy shapes. Well, and flowers - here it is possible to be shown as the artist, having decorated a site with a multi-colored flower mosaic.

Speaking as a designer, connect not only fantasy but also humor, ingenuity, courage. What can you do on your own?
First, you can start with flower beds. Cottage without a flower bed is not a cottage. But why do you need a standard flower garden? It is trite. Look for old watering cans, ask your friends for useless drilled barrels, tubs. Let them become flowerpots. You can refine all this trash with the help bright paint. In the absence of all this, you can go to the forest for an old stump. From it is easy to gouge out the middle and plant flowers in its place.
Do not want to mess around? Well, then you have to donate an old chair. In the seat, cut a round hole, place a flower pot in it - this design looks very original.
Pond. For many, this is a mandatory attribute of the problem. It will wonderfully decorate your site, breathe life into it. But it is important not to be mistaken with its location. Under direct sunlight, it will easily bloom, and all its “inhabitants” will die. It's great if you can run fish into the pond. And you can also make a "almost real" beach of stones.
What else to decorate the cottage? Like many small sculptures. They will make your site memorable. The main thing here is not to overdo it and not to allow disharmony of summer cottages, other buildings with the style of sculptures. Against the background of a tiny country house and humble garden big pieces will look awkward.
Magic lanterns, so popular in recent years, will give you a good mood, and give your site festive look. "Magic" does not mean expensive - they will cost you free. They are easy to make from cans. Yes, ordinary glass jars, decorated with paints. Inside - paraffin candle. And in the dark these lamps will cast away. unusual shadows.
