Decorating a garden plot with your own hands is a creative business

Decorating a garden plot with your own hands is so fascinating that it sometimes becomes even more important for owners than getting a crop. After all, the garden is a place where a person rests in the bosom of nature.

Use of terrain unevenness in design

Of course, it is optimal that the design of the garden plot with their own hands does not spoil the natural design, but only emphasizes the peculiarity of the landscape. If, for example, nature has created irregularities on the site, hills and grooves in the ground, or even the garden is located on the slope of a great hill, you can successfully beat this inconvenience. Do not cut the hills, artificially leveling the landscape, - there is a possibility of damage to the upper soil layer. Because of such rough intervention, the owner may later have to buy the soil for laying on top of the place where the mound used to be. And you can simply decorate the hill in the form of a flower bed, planting flowers of the same height. Due to the elevation of the flowerbed, it will be voluminous, all the plants will be perfectly visible even at a distance. Registration of a garden plot with your own hands on the hillside implies stepped flowerbeds and beds, which is also quite nice. And small gullies or depressions in the ground can be used for artificial ponds. Having encircled a pond or a lake made by own hands, with stones, it is possible to create a wonderful corner for rest.

Pathways in the Garden

Even the paths in the "paradise corner" can be different. Someone more will like the paths lined with paving slabs, brick, concreted or asphalt. And someone more like the naturalism of the corner of nature. Then you can plant the path with a special grass, fill it with sand or, making along the paths or by protecting the places for resting with curbs, fill the area with small gravel, with expanded clay. Registration of a garden plot by one's own hands is strictly personal, therefore nobody can dictate to the owner of the garden any special rules.

Garden figures - decoration and lighting fixtures

Today, special figures are widely used for garden design: animals, sculptures stylized as antiquities, fairy-tale characters. The design and design of garden areas with such elements is based on the individual taste of the owner and the general style of the garden. For example, sculptures that imitate works of art of past centuries in the form of charmers with pitchers or sunbathing half-naked girls are quite suitable for garden stylized areas "under antiquity." Then you should think about what will be the lights in the garden, benches, fences. Everything should "play in unison," correspond to each other, complement. And for the garden areas where children will rest, the figures of fairy-tale characters and animals are appropriate. Decorative design of the garden can even be useful if the sculptures take the role of supports for street lighting, tables, benches. Tiger, lying near the table, can serve as an excellent sofa, and the gnome will hold the lantern; A huge turtle or hippopotamus on its shell keep the glass top, and a stork standing on one leg can hold a street washstand in its beak. By the way, the figures can not only be bought, but also made independently of plastic clay, gypsum and even from soaked and wrenched paper pulp, and then painted.
