How To Build A Garden Closer

First, privacy must be guaranteed. Whether it is the garden of a single-family house or a small suburban yard or a rooftop terrace, privacy is the focus of a private garden. If the yard has limited space and is close to neighbors, it can be screened by using a fence, tall trees, shrubs, or making a shrub hedge, building a wooden fence or just building a wall. If you want to maintain privacy while communicating with the outside world, you can use a relatively open fence, such as a step shape, a fence with a large gap, or a fence made of iron. Plant some low shrubs, such as dense roses, hydrangea, maidenhair, etc. with climbing plants (such as ground broom, climbing moon as well as honeysuckle, etc.) and the combination of the guardrail to achieve the effect of dense top and sparse bottom. If you want to create a completely enclosed garden, you need to add plants of various heights while setting up a tall fence, preferably with no less than three levels of height. Learn to borrow the tall trees in the common area, those already established large and dense canopy may be able to shade part of your yard. If you can't borrow shade, then you should consider planting a tall tree with a large canopy in your yard that will form quickly. Fagus, Maple, Eucommia, Tsubaki, etc. are good choices, followed by the need for some lower small trees, the height of which is better than the height of 50 cm above the fence, and it is recommended to plant Longclaw acacia, dwarf purple cherry. The last thing is to plant shrubs (such as: honeysuckle, lilac, Tianmu agarwood, etc.) and hedges (such as bamboo, Hokkaido boxwood, etc.) in the range of sight reach. With the above three levels, an intimate garden space can be created. Second, water features should be adapted to the location. Water features are the finishing touch to create a garden, and the construction of a yard water feature must be tailored to the location. If there are conditions, you may wish to dig a pool, store a pool of water, embellished with a few stone scenery, with some plants, flowers and water features reflect the interest, more beautiful. Water feature wall is the most relaxing landscape installation in the garden. Fountain water wall is a more traditional design method, but it can bring a minimal and fresh look to the garden. The dynamic water spray effect can break the heaviness of the whole wall, combining a static and a dynamic landscape elements together, making the whole garden more dynamic. Third, natural materials paving garden road paving, the selection of materials should be natural stone, logs, such as green slate, jute stone, gravel, pebbles and other primitive and simple materials, with natural materials to show the rustic rough lines, more highlight the taste of the garden. In courtyards that emphasize texture and exoticism, the use of rough red brick or brown slate works well, matching the warm color of the low wall and echoing the grass or gravel ground in the planting area. Fourth, make good use of structures. Structures provide more viewing angles for the garden, such as low walls, decks, porches, pavilions and other structures, because they do not block the view, not only can divide the space and limit the entrance, but also do not make the garden look confined and small, and the overall pattern is more coordinated. A log pavilion structure or platform can be used for viewing or resting, and walls of different heights and forms can be used as a retaining wall for seats. Fifth, how should garden plants be selected? Since it is to create a private garden, the plants are the main character, all the design is to pave the way for the plants, what plants to choose, how to match the plants, how to deal with the plants without a lot of time to take care of them, all these should be taken into account and planned well in advance. Sixth, what plants should be chosen for the garden? The villa garden has its larger space, so the range of plants planted is more, not limited by the indoor height, range. Most people want the garden to be ornamental all year round, so you can choose relatively unchanging trees and shrubs and some characteristic plants to go with them, but the plants should be as few and precise as possible, able to take one for ten, one for a hundred, with sloppy management and easy maintenance. Spring cherry blossoms and camellias, forsythia, azaleas, podocarpus, lilacs will be more ornamental; summer perennial and biennial flowers and plants is the time to open, but annual flowers and moon flowers can not be greedy; autumn can choose ornamental autumn colors of trees and shrubs and late flowering chrysanthemums; winter, you need evergreen plants, such as pine, cypress, holly, ivy, etc.. Trees plants or highly branched and well-shaped trees, which can provide more space to enjoy the green shade activities, while shrubs, ground cover should be color, level, flowering period, etc. to match, now better varieties of garden flowers and shrubs have been more, should be reduced on the greening of commonly used seedlings, to truly reflect the ornamental nature of the private garden. Seventh, if there is no time to take care of, how to choose plants? For those who can not manage the garden, you can also try container cultivation, with gorgeous potted plants with natural texture of outdoor furniture, not only save space, but also easy to take care of. Potted plants are easy to place and replace, so they are especially suitable for families who lack growing experience or have no time to take care of and look after plants. Potted plants should be placed mainly in corners, on the edge of the patio and on both sides of the steps. The potted plants should be staggered in height, and more flowering herbaceous plants can be used, such as the eight treasure scenery, which is not only beautiful and colorful, but also can soften the softening of the sharp corners of structures in the courtyard. Choose the right flower, can be a simple courtyard dyed with a special style, such as clay pots with red brick floor or antique floor tiles, to bring out the rustic flavor. Everyone has a garden dream, to create an exclusive private garden, and love people together poetic habitat, in the sunny afternoon, looking at their own carefully taken care of flowers and plants, this is called life.
