Landscaping of a summer cottage.
Create a personal oasis by landscaping your garden plot.
This will not only provide you with fresh, unpolluted air near your home, but will also become a new hobby for all family members. In addition, your home will noticeably transform, become unique and inimitable.
Every year, the number of plant areas on Earth is steadily declining. Natural disasters and the wholesale cutting down of trees in forests are the reason for the weakening of the “lungs” of our country.
This also negatively affects our health. The simplest and most affordable solution to this problem is landscaping and landscaping the area near the house.
Flower bed along the house and hanging pots
One of the easiest ways to decorate your yard is to create a front garden with flowering plants along the side of your house. For landscaping a suburban area, a mix of annual and perennial plants is used. Petunias and hydrangeas, for example, bloom seasonally, and a few small evergreen shrubs will brighten up your flowerbed year-round.
The flower arrangement on the ground will be organically complemented by hanging mini-flower beds under the windows. It is better to plant flowering plants in them, such as petunias.
Site improvement project.
To begin with, you need to think about creating a sketch of the landscape plan, which marks the dimensions of the building, the length and width of the land plot, as well as the distance from the building to the fence.
If there are any plantings or decorative items on the site, they must be marked. Then you can move on to the creative stage.
Style diversity is a distinctive feature of landscape design aimed at greening your local area.
The main thing is to take into account the area; if it allows it, then on the front side of the building you can lay a lawn with a path made of decorative stone.
In some places you can plant single trees or shrubs. On the back side of the building you can put a gazebo, which will be hidden from prying eyes, or arrange your own “kebab yard”.
In the deep part of the personal plot, you can erect an artificial fountain or pond.
The project for landscaping and landscaping the local area is carefully thought out. And all the green spaces and decorative structures that you plan to place on the site must be in harmony with each other.

Development of horizontal landscaping projects
Landscaping design consists of choosing a location for various plants, shrubs and trees, as well as arranging large areas of the territory with grass. The whole process can be divided into several stages:
- Choosing a place to place lawns, which can be seeded or roll-type. In the first case, it is necessary to calculate the amount of work to remove weeds, dig up the soil and plant plants. For the second option, additional leveling of the ground under the flooring is necessary;
- Plan for landscaping and arrangement of flower beds on the site. These elements may consist of annuals or perennials. Such islands of bright colors can add colorful touches to the overall design;
- Selection of design options for natural relief features. The slopes of a small hill can be used to create on its basis a wonderful alpine slide or rock garden, which will become a special highlight of the site;
- Improvement of reservoirs located on the site. Plants around a small pond or fast stream should not only complement the composition, but also strengthen their banks with their roots. Sometimes, pseudo-reservoirs are created in the form of a dried-up riverbed, the banks of which are decorated with stones and mosses;
- Next, landscaping is designed by planting deciduous or coniferous shrubs. In this case, the direction of the winds is taken into account, since such plants are able to protect soils from erosion with their lush foliage
- Lastly, it is planned to plant different types of trees;

Composition of succulents
Many gardeners love succulents for their unpretentiousness. So why not use this type of plant when landscaping your summer cottage? To create a composition, choose plants of different heights and colors. For the top floor, take yucca or aloe, and decorate the bottom floor with creeping succulents. At the end of autumn, the plants will need to be dug up and brought indoors. A composition of succulents is organically combined with a garden composition of stones.
Landscaping.
Before you begin the process of landscaping and landscaping the local area, it is necessary to remove all debris from the site and clear it of old dried out plantings.
If necessary, level some areas of the ground. You can build a gazebo, fountain or pond with your own hands, but in order for the end result to be of high quality, it is recommended to contact our specialized staff.
Our specialists will carry out all the landscaping and landscaping work required by the customer, quickly, efficiently and at an affordable price.
High quality and fertility of the soil is the key to the success of planting ornamental green spaces. If it is poor in fertilizers, then most of the plants will be frail.
To ensure that our efforts are not in vain, our employees will analyze the soil and, if necessary, fertilize the soil in accordance with laboratory instructions.
Provence style garden wheelbarrow
An old wooden wheelbarrow on three wheels, covered with ivy and flowering plants, looks perfect in country houses. The cart is loaded with soil (be sure to keep it moist at all times) and ivy and flowers are planted, which will hang over the sides of the cart, as if it were overflowing with fragrant buds. Fushias and petunias of different shades are suitable for such a composition.
Pond on the site.
Many of our clients want to make an artificial pond on the site of their house. Pond, stream or cascading waterfall.
Such a pond will give the site a fabulous, cozy look and add the missing diversity. It's so nice to watch the water in your own area.
You can order all work on installing an artificial pond on your site from our company.
Composition of hostas and hydrangeas
Lush greenery and large white flowers of hydrangeas and hosts look great in one garden ensemble. Tall hydrangeas are planted along the walls of the house, and hostas in front of them. To prevent the flower bed from looking “bald” in winter, complement the composition with several evergreen shrubs. Both hostas and hydrangeas love shade, so such a flowerbed can be safely organized on the shady side of your site or near mature trees.
Paths at the dacha.
Often, land owners do not pay enough attention to the construction of paths and paths in their dachas. Nevertheless, this is one of the most important stages in landscaping the site.
Properly designed and executed paths will be easy to use and will add a big plus to the appearance of your site.
Flowerbed from an old bicycle
If during an inspection you find an old bicycle in a storage room or shed, do not rush to throw it away. It can become the basis of a decorative composition. First, you will need to clean it and paint it in the desired color. Install two medium-sized wooden boxes in front of the steering wheel and on the trunk. Fill the boxes with soil and plant spreading flowering plants, such as petunias. They will hang beautifully from the edges of the drawers.
Improvement of the facade of the local area.
The front part is the area that runs along the entire perimeter and separates your site from the neighboring house. Its landscaping and improvement can be done with the help of a hedge, which will certainly protect you from prying eyes.
This decorative element is an excellent alternative to banal fencing made of wood or metal. Not only shrubs can be used as a hedge, but also:
- Fruit and berry or ornamental trees;
- Currant, gooseberry or other berry bushes;
- Lilac, jasmine or other flower bushes.
It should be noted that such landscaping elements will not only hide you from prying eyes, but will also give you pleasure with their wonderful smell during flowering in the spring.
Minimalistic cinder block flowerbed
Even from such a rough material as a cinder block, you can independently build an unusual flower bed. This idea is perfect for landscaping your site with your own hands. You need to make a rectangular deep box from cinder blocks. To make the flowerbed more interesting, place some of the blocks perpendicularly, they should protrude, and inside each block there will be a little soil and a succulent in it. In such a cubic flower bed, in addition to succulents, moss and evergreen ground cover plants will look good. If desired, the finished flowerbed can be painted.
Arranging the territory of the house.
The interior is the area adjacent to the house. The development of this territory is an important task. Improvement and landscaping of the territory of the site from the inside can be carried out by placing bright flower beds and plantings near the borders.
Garden paths, ponds and fountains erected as decorations will give an elegant look to the interior of the garden area.
It’s also worth focusing on climbing plants, which can not only hide unsightly fences or outbuildings, but also decorate recreation areas.
Border of potted flowers
For beginner gardeners and busy people who don’t have time to constantly care for a flowerbed or border, the idea of potted plants outside is a great idea. Dig ceramic pots with indoor plants or bulbous flowers into the ground along the plot or path. You can cover the pots with decorative pebbles.
There will be no need to weed around such a composition, tender bulbs will be easy to get at the end of the season, and green plants will be easy to bring into the house. You will also save significantly on the purchase of soil and fertilizers, because you will not need to fill the entire border with them; you just need to carefully pour them into the pots.

It is for this reason that when carrying out landscaping work in the intermediate part, it is necessary to think about the drainage system, watering and irrigation capabilities.
Flowerbed around a tree
In landscape design and landscaping, owners often face the problem of how to decorate the area under large spreading trees. The problem is that most flowering annuals need sun, which is very little under the canopy of old trees. To build a flowering island around a tree, choose pansies, begonias, colius, and alyssum. These ground cover flowers thrive in shade and will bloom profusely even under the thickest branches. To keep a round flower bed neat, line it with bricks or paving stones. This will prevent the soil from spilling onto the lawn surrounding the tree.

Landscape design and improvement.
Evergreen topiary
If you want to beautifully decorate your home area, but you don’t have time to constantly care for plants, opt for compositions made of juniper and boxwood. These plants and their relatives remain green and attractive year-round and require minimal watering. When they are strengthened, they will not be afraid of either cold, wind, or dry soil. From junipers you can create topiaries - fancy copies of trees. The ground around the plants can be covered with wood chips or decorative stone chips. You can always supplement the composition with several flowering plants.
How to choose a style
The main thing is not to get confused when choosing a style. Even if you have certain sketches of your own, it is better to carefully plan everything on paper or use 3D graphics services. Considering the orientation of the main styles, which are: geometric, natural and mixed, you can choose the most suitable one for yourself.
Geometric style
It is also called regular. This style is characterized by clear, strict lines and figures, often arranged symmetrically. Borders and other structures with distinct, strict lines are optimally used, such as arches made of timber or polymer pipes, pergolas, various canopies made of climbing plants, or certain trellises that serve as supports for plants - trellises. You can also place rows of flowerpots with colorful vegetation near the house. You can also decorate the roof by hanging beautiful containers with hanging plants. A hedge in the form of a labyrinth will be fun for both adults and children.
Regular style
Natural style
It is also called eco style or landscape style. It is quite popular today in landscape design, despite the fact that there are no particular difficulties in its implementation. If you like wild nature and natural vegetation, then this style is just for you. This style is characterized by the fact that the terrain remains virtually unchanged. Fragments of natural nature are preserved. If there is a natural body of water, it remains intact and so do its inhabitants. The presence of stones of different shapes among the vegetation will also not spoil the natural style. As for the lawn, it should also reflect a natural theme, for example a Moorish or clover lawn would work well. Flowers should be harmoniously woven into the eco style. Wildflowers such as chamomile, cornflower, and special varieties of decorative flowers that will be combined with wildflowers are best suited. Also good are bulbous plants of wild species, such as lilies of the valley, crocuses, irises, daffodils, and tulips. Ornamental trees such as rowan, willow, maple, oak, and birch will harmonize well with forest trees.
Eco style is economical, easy to maintain and can be created on a plot of any size and shape.

Mixed style (or combined style)
Combines several areas of different styles. This style is for creative individuals who are not afraid to bring the most incredible ideas into reality. And, nevertheless, certain rules must be present. A combination of several styles may look, for example, like this: the front entrance can be decorated in a geometric style, where clarity, severity and symmetry of lines will be quite appropriate. The central part can be diluted with antique elements, where small ancient sculptures, lanterns, as well as ponds and rockeries will immerse us in ancient times. Or take elements of eco style, regarding natural reservoirs and nearby vegetation. Throw a beautiful bridge over a stream, improve the banks, or allow natural vegetation to grow on its own without outside interference.
Of course, no matter what style we prefer, the main thing is that our summer cottage brings us joy. Everyone’s concept of beauty is different, but by adhering to the basic rules and landscaping the area to our taste, we will enjoy the work of our own hands and a beautiful green oasis.
Log planters
Flowerpots serve as a real lifesaver for the owner of large yards. You can plant plants in them and make caring for them much easier. In flowerpots, plants do not have to be rid of weeds; they are easier to water and fertilize.
An old log, for example, can serve as a beautiful and environmentally friendly alternative to large plastic and ceramic flowerpots. The tree cut needs to be hollowed out from the inside and the cavity filled with soil. In the same vein, you can use old unnecessary stumps or wooden barrels.
And once again about the main thing
Absolutely flat terrain is extremely rare, so you should think about how to turn the disadvantages of the terrain into advantages. The most level areas should be allocated for residential and utility premises. A high hill could possibly be turned into an alpine slide. If there are a lot of hills on the site, then it is preferable to make ledges on their slopes and plant a garden, or create vertical gardening. Sun-loving plants and trees, such as certain varieties of cherries, should also be placed at higher elevations. In the lowlands you can plant moisture-loving plants, as well as set aside space for ponds, make a pond, dig a well, place fountains and place a gazebo in lush greenery. If a ravine is trying to “spoil” your territory, you can make an artificial stream bed in it, and throw a bridge or several bridges on top, also picturesquely decorating the banks with moisture-loving vegetation.
How to turn the disadvantages of a site into its advantages
Preparatory work
Once you have completed all the preliminary work mentioned above, start moving on to the preparatory work.
- The relief should always be adjusted or specifically leveled if necessary;
- It is better to fertilize the soil with organic fertilizers and minerals;
If the soil is clayey, then it is better to add sawdust, manure and straw, as well as a sand-peat mixture;
- Install a drainage system and water supply and irrigation systems.
- It is better to buy unpretentious garden herbs that can grow under trees;
- Flower beds and hedges should be designed in a certain style to maintain a single theme of landscape design
