Tips for registration of the suburban area

Before you start planning and designing your site, it is important to familiarize yourself with several useful tipswhich will surely come in handy in the process.

• First board: select the right color scheme. Obviously, the main colors in any garden area will be green and brown. Therefore, you need to make some variety in this color scheme. To do this, you can use flower beds with beautiful flowers, unusual flower pots, patterned fabrics etc.
• Tip two: use old unnecessary things. Do not mindlessly throw old things out of the house. An old dilapidated chair, glass bottles or dishes, a broken TV and a ridiculous lamp shade - all these seemingly unnecessary things can easily find a new life in the summer cottage and revive the country landscape.
• Tip Three: decorate your site with various art objects: sculptures, compositions from natural materials, forged products and so on.
• Fourth Council: actively apply creativity and fantasy!

This is perhaps the most important advice, because without creative imagination it will not turn out beautifully and interesting to decorate your summer cottage.

Variants of suburban area design

Consider a few basic design options suburban area, which depend, primarily, on the shape and size of a particular site.

• Standard rectangular section. This is the most common form of suburban area and the most convenient option for planning objects. Planning such a site can be done as follows. Cottage house is better placed closer to the entrance to the territory to the left of it. On the right side, opposite the house, it is convenient to organize a recreation area. Directly behind the house, it is best to place an orchard, and behind the recreation area - a vegetable garden and various outbuildings.
• Narrow stretch. This form of the site is quite common, and to plan it correctly is quite difficult. First of all, an elongated garden area should be divided into two or three transverse zones, so that it is not fully visible. You can divide the space of these zones with the help of buildings and structures, hedges, or groups of trees and shrubs. Most optimal design Such a site is as follows: the house is located on the short near border of the site, and additional outbuildings (toilet, shower, shed etc.) - on the opposite side. Thus, a garden and a vegetable garden are organized in a large middle part of the plot. There are various tricks with which the elongated section can be visually shaped to be close to the standard rectangular. To do this, along the long sides of the plot you need to plant groups of small flowers with cold colors, and near the short side (at the entrance to the territory of the plot) large and bright plants.
• L-shaped plot. Also a very common form of the suburban area, non-standard irregularities which can be used favorably. The projecting part of such a plot seems to be created in order to organize a separate recreation zone there. The rest of the plot is planned on the basis of a standard rectangular plot.
• The plot is triangular in shape. The rarest form of the dacha, the planning of which, at first glance, seems to be a complicated process. The house in this case is traditionally located in the center of the plot. Behind it is a recreation area, and in front of it are vegetable gardens and flower gardens. The outbuildings can be placed in the corners of the triangular area, and along its perimeter you can plant fruit trees and bushes.

Styles design suburban area

Having decided on the option of planning your summer cottage, you can proceed to the choice of its stylistics. There are several main styles in the modern design of suburban areas.

Classic style - the most popular style, which is characterized by simplicity of perception, clarity and correctness of forms. The benchmark and prototype of the classic style in the design of the site is the park of Versailles with its skillful lawns, fountains and sculptures. To emphasize the perimeter of the dacha in the classical style, you can use linear forms low trimmed shrub.

Country style - ideal for registration of a country site. Garden area in this style is located as close as possible to a residential house. Next to the color, it is necessary to place the so-called "edible" flower beds with parsley, dill, lettuce and other greens. An obligatory attribute of a site in style of a country is the wattled fence with the clay pots impaled on columns. An artificial well or an old wooden cart will also look good on this site.

Japanese style - Another favorite style of the owners of country houses, fans of Oriental traditions. Who does not want to create a small Japan in their summer cottage? Mandatory elements of the Japanese garden - stone paths, ornamental ponds, small trees of circular shape. In the design of the site in the Japanese style should avoid bright colors, it is preferable to choose a monotonous range.

Zoning suburban area

Under the zoning site understand the conditional division of the territory functional areas. As a rule, in the summer cottage there are four of them:

• living sector;
• horticultural zone;
• rest zone;
• zone of outbuildings.

The largest in size is garden area and gardenа — около 70% от общей площади участка. На recreation area обычно отводится около 15%, и от 10 до 15% территории — под жилой дом и хозяйственные постройки.

There are certain requirements for the zoning of the dacha:

• Planning of the dacha should be started from the choice of the location of the residential building main object cottage development;
• the area of ​​outbuildings should be planned in the back of the plotso that they are not so conspicuous and, preferably, on the north side;
• horticultural zone must be placed in the most open and sunny part of the site;
• recreation area It is best to isolate from the rest of the site with the help of paths, a small reservoir, ornamental shrubs and flower beds.

Gardening suburban area

The process of gardening begins with the study of the features of a particular suburban area. Here, first of all, you should take into account such parameters as:

• soil;
• microrelief of the site;
• climatic conditions of the area

For the purpose of landscaping, the entire territory of the dacha area can be divided into two zones:

• external (the perimeter of your site, bordering the road, neighborly households or no-man's territories);
• and, actually, the inner.

Before proceeding to the landscaping of the territory, you need to make an approximate landscaping plan plot, as well as pick up a list of plants that you are going to plant, taking into account the climatic features of the area.

When organizing a two-row hedge, a row of trees should be supplemented with flowering dense shrubs. Perfectly fit boxwood, honeysuckle, lilac or currant.

It also happens that you inherit a plot, the boundaries of which are already overgrown with vegetation. In this case, do not waste time and effort on the destruction of these plants. It is enough to ennoble this wild vegetation, give it a certain shape, plant a number of flowers - and you get a great hedge.

Having issued the outer perimeter of the suburban area, you can proceed to the landscaping of its internal space. And here - a huge field for creative imagination!

The inner zone of the site can be landscaped using beautiful flower beds, along the tracks you can land low growing border plants. To cover up unsightly buildings, you can use a variety of climbers: grapes, ivy, vines, etc. They can also decorate the gazebo in the recreation area.

Equally important is lawn decoration: for them it is worth picking up unpretentious types of grassy plants. You can use ready-made lawn that easily take root in any conditions. Country lawns can be very successfully supplemented with a stone alpine slide or a vertical garden design.

It is appropriate to plant several evergreen plants on your plot so that your cottage looks attractive in winter.

• security (lighting, ensuring the protection of objects, it is located near the entrance to the site, near the outbuildings);
• architectural (the purpose of this lighting is to emphasize the architectural forms of the buildings on the site);
• decorative (lighting, which is the illumination of the dacha plot in order to decorate its individual elements).

The purpose of functional and security lighting is to make the movement of people around the site safe at night, and also to protect the site from unauthorized access. In this case, the light should fall from above and cover large areas. Lanterns and lamps It is recommended to install at a height of at least one meter. You can also use motion sensors, thanks to which the light will turn on when people approach.

Decorative lighting can favorably emphasize the individual elements of the garden: alpine slides, artificial ponds, fountains, flower beds or terraces. Looks good dim backlight garden paths, with the number of light bulbs, it is important not to overdo it, otherwise the effect will not be the same.
