The process of ennobling and arranging a personal plot can be confidently compared in terms of labor intensity and costs with the construction of a house or the creation of the interior of the entire housing. However, in order to properly organize the territory and translate the conceived ideas into reality, it is not enough just to purchase the necessary materials, décor and at an accelerated pace with a shovel in your hands to start digging up the former garden and planting flowers.
To create a practical, cozy and attractive courtyard, it is necessary to take into account many nuances and act taking into account the recommendations of experienced specialists in this matter. After all, you must admit that it is much more pleasant to realize that you have arranged everything correctly, and not to transfer flower beds or a picnic area, because there is a need to repair the water supply on the plot of land under them.
Features of landscaping of the infield
If you decide to radically change the landscape of your personal plot, first of all you need to put things in order on the future “battlefield” and get rid of the garbage accumulated over the years, unnecessary things, dried shrubs or boring trees.
Next, you should develop a detailed plan or landscape design project, taking into account the characteristics of the site, the location of buildings and other details.
It is important to take into account all the little things, ranging from a cozy gazebo and perennial flowering, to which you gave a second chance, to structures made of decorative stone near a small artificial pond with which you plan to decorate the yard.
Choosing a fence
Installing a fence or fence around the land being developed helps to hide it from prying eyes and thereby provides a feeling of comfort and security for the owners. In addition, due to the variety of options and visual appeal, they also have a decorative function.
The choice of a suitable fence is based primarily on the size of the site, the general style of landscape design and, of course, your preferences. Modern fences are made of brick, metal, wood, concrete and plastic.
An equally original solution for a personal plot can be called a fence in the form of a hedge or wattle.
We equip the paths
All kinds of paths and paths perfectly decorate the local area and serve as a connecting element between the garden areas. The paths between the gate and the porch, as well as between residential and farm buildings, are among the main ones.
Garden paths, passages to the beds and between them can be called secondary. Due to the use of special tiles or stone, a more harmonious look is achieved. However, this type of decorative materials requires certain costs. Therefore, as an option, you can replace it with brick, crushed stone, pebbles, sand or concrete. The last of the materials allows the owners to show imagination and create paths of unusual shape.
Green spaces
When starting the selection of plants for a personal plot, it is necessary to take into account the type of soil, the climatic conditions of the area where your house is located and the features of the life cycle of the specimens you have chosen, for example, their ability to change color, volume, and so on.
One of the integral components of any project for the arrangement of the site near the house is the lawn, which can act as an independent decoration of the territory, and be part of the overall composition. It’s just the perfect backdrop for the rest of the vegetation and decorative elements. This type of landscaping can be grown independently or purchased in ready-made rolls.

In order for the entire site to look harmonious at the final stage of arranging the backyard territory, it is necessary to carry out all activities and select components taking into account a single style direction. Landscape or English style involves a smooth transition from strict forms to natural and natural lines. Winding trails and small bodies of water will be appropriate here.
The French style, which is often called regular, is based on the presence of artificial forms. It can be evenly trimmed shrubs, straight alleys or gazebos with round columns.
Country-style landscaping is natural and simple. In this case, the use of stone, wood, metal elements and décor made of vines, as well as the presence of tubs, jugs, wheels and other man-made masterpieces is relevant.
In fact, to translate into reality all the recommendations of designers regarding the improvement of the site near the house is not as difficult as it seems at the first time. We compare desires and opportunities, create a project, provide ourselves with all the necessary materials and start creating our own paradise!
