And we continue to write instructions for those who do notknows how to plan your site. Today we will talk about the most interesting and beautiful part of this task. Recently we started a conversation about landscape design and its planning with the architect Elena Bulagina. There are a lot of subtleties here, so last time we were not able to talk about all the important points. Today we will finally look at the remaining steps. Related articles Elena Bulagina, architect Elena graduated with honors from the Samara State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Faculty of Architecture. Behind her shoulders are many completed projects of residential and public premises in Moscow, Samara, Kaliningrad, Vladivostok and other cities of Russia, as well as neighboring countries. Works as the chief architect at the Kapitel architectural bureau. The work is guided by the principle - "maximum efficiency with reasonable funding." 1. Artificial reservoirs, fountains, cascades To organize a mobile pool on the site, you will have to purchase a ready-made pool, guided by the size, configuration and price. Allocate a free area for placing the pool, perhaps provide a beach area nearby, for example, for a sun lounger, a shed. It is better to place the artificial pond at a considerable distance from the trees so that you spend less time cleaning the pond of foliage or fallen fruit. When organizing a pond, it is necessary to determine its depth, the material of the bottom cover, and drainage. To arrange a waterfall and circulate water, it is necessary to use a water pump, and to create a melodic murmur, it is necessary to make an elevation, for example, from stones, and direct the water flow along rocky ledges. So that the water constantly circulates and the waterfall does not turn out to be dehydrated, think over the base of the waterfall bowl, the simplest option is to use a film. 2.Criteria for choosing green spaces To give an attractive, juicy look to a personal plot, you can use grassy lawns, they are of two types. The roll is made at the enterprise, you just have to purchase it and roll it out like a carpet on the surface of the earth. Seeded - Lawn that can be used immediately, it takes time for the grass to germinate, but is considered to be more durable. 3.Lighting and communications At the stage of designing the landscape of the personal plot, it is important to think over the lighting and irrigation system. To do this, it is necessary to lay pipes and drainage ditches, arrange electric cables in corrugations for a longer service life. The routes of pipes and cables should be applied to the layout and photographed so as not to damage them in the future. For convenience and energy savings, you can use solar-powered lights. 4.Small architectural forms We are talking about gazebos, pergolas, rotundas, arches, bridges, garden sculptures. The landscape of the site can be decorated with flowerpots and bowls with flowers. You can independently come up with unusual decor elements. It can be an old cart decorated with flowers, or even a bicycle with interesting flower arrangements. five.Large details of the landscape If the site initially contains trees, stones, relief - do not rush to demolish everything to zero, perhaps, after thinking, you can successfully fit the existing anomalies into the new landscape. When planting large plants, keep the required distances between them. And also keep in mind that the root system of the tree will develop, and if any communications pass nearby, they may be damaged. 6.Color scheme Think in advance about the color scheme of plants that you would like to see on your site. It is important to maintain a balance, on the one hand - the color of the landscape should not be too dull, and on the other hand - excessive diversity can cause fatigue. Related Articles
