Ideas for a small suburban area

You are not lucky enough to become the owner of the estate of several hectares? Don't feel bad about it! Even the smallest plot can be a real country gem.





As in a small area to create the illusion of expanded space? Currently design a small garden is a hot topic, after all, our modern garden plots are small in size, and constitute together with the house, well, if 10 acres, do not want to feel confined in a small space like in a big cage...

The correct design of a small garden will help to create the illusion of expanded space. There are several techniques, which I will gladly share.

For example, in the United States are widely and successfully used method in which people between adjacent areas refuse fences. Do not enclose their land from the highway and between the gardens. Thus, they visually expand your boundaries.

But for our regions such methods to design a small garden is hardly applicable, but we can close the protection of the green climbing plants.





Viewed the landscape of the neighboring area above a green fence to visually extends the spatial horizons. You can make the borders between neighbors using mesh, netting, its transparency also creates the illusion of expanding the boundaries.

Well to paint it with green paint, and create the illusion of several smaller gardens. You can close the columns climbing plants, so that the feeling of boundaries disappeared entirely. With neighbors to agree on a specific style and together to agree landscape. This design of a small garden helps to achieve the effect of more space.

I want to mention that not everyone likes these methods. Not everyone is willing to share with the neighbors the rest of the city in the lap of nature. Many people are looking for peace and privacy, so for them there are other techniques of visual expansion of space.





A visual extension of the boundaries in the design of a small garden

I want to tell you about decorative paving, which visually expands the horizons within the site. Decorative material can pave framing the lawn instead of bulky stone curbs that narrow fence up visual elements.

The lawn thus looks neater, and less trampled. But most importantly, it looks bigger than it really is. Decorative paving is arranged flush with the grass.

If you correctly identify the material, it will look just great. Visually expand a small space lawns complex configuration or elongated in a narrow strip. On the edge of the they suggest to put a large plant.

Such planting will be advantageous to divide the space, showing the average plan. Recommend it to carry with bushes reaching out into the paved area or at the toe of the lawn. But on the lawn it is not necessary to plant trees and shrubs. On the contrary it will narrow the border.





Creating the design of a small garden, you can apply the method of planting green room. These secluded romantic area chamber style well cover climbing plants, so that the eyes do not linger on a nearby fence or stone wall. Inside the green room, not paying attention to the limitations of space, it is better to leave it blank. Plants for walls can be selected individually, but given the small area, must observe perfect accuracy. There should be no weeds, paths namasivaya small plates. The joints between them are tightly cemented. This design a small garden constantly it is necessary to carry out the formation of the crowns of shrubs and trees. Sensitivity is needed not to weaken the visual illusion of raising the volume.





A few guidelines that will allow for maximum benefit use of the suburban area.

1. Plant fruit trees grafted on dwarf. To contain and adjust their growth will be much easier.

2. Refrain from extensive range. For the average family enough for 2-3 apples of different ripening period, 2 pears, 1 plum, 2 cherries. Try to cultivate several varieties of the same maturity on the same tree.

Z. do Not neglect regular pruning. Running trees shade garden, get sick more often, it is difficult to harvest. Crown height average should not exceed 3 m.

4. Trees planted along the fence of the site, and ideally grow them on a trellis or guide in the form of palm trees. Now enough literature on the forming of fruit trees.

5. Do not get carried away ornamental trees. They take up a lot of space and create a lot of shade. Give preference to shrubs.

6. Combine flower beds with vegetable crops. A border of chives or curly parsley will allow you to save some extra meter square. Interesting look beets and carrots sown in the garden or a couple of bushes of tomatoes in the middle of a flower bed in country style. You can create a beautiful flower bed-the garden. Try to build the corn (3 to 7 plants), sunflower (1-3 plants), lovage, parsnip, perennial onions, dill, parsley, marigolds, calendula, chamomile, bell. Higher plants planted in the back flower beds, or center (if it is a circular flowerbed). At the edge, place the clumps of primroses, such as Primula, sowing between them the dill or parsley.

7. Take a piece of the area under turf or paving near the barbecue. In this case, you'll have a place for outdoor games or a comfortable place for a relaxing holiday in the fresh air.

8. On the edge of the compost pile (if any), plant several plants of the gourd or cucumber — they are great will feel on fertile land, but at the same time zadekorirovat unsightly structure.
