Ways to implement the plan:
independently;
by the masters of a company specializing in the performance of landscaping;
by wage workers, which are organized and controlled by the owner of the house.

The execution of any fantasy, limited only by available means
Plot of small area intended for recreation and gardening. Due to the minimum space, the planning of mini-zones of the landscape of the yard is provided
In addition to the above features, each type of private house has characteristics that affect the main design decisions in the development of the zonal landscape design of the courtyard.
Cottage. The advantage of this house is the strict observance of SNiPs during construction, and the minus is the architectural requirements prescribed in the contract and controlled by the administration of the cottage village. Buyers, entering into a contract, automatically undertake to follow them when erecting additional buildings on the site. These restrictions apply to farm buildings, secondary buildings, green spaces. Sometimes the papers may even indicate the impossibility of placing a bath.Therefore, with the owners of an estate built in the Empire style, with a sudden craving for agriculture, it will not work in a few years to erect a small chicken coop or a container for compost in a remote corner of the courtyard. It is possible that even a planted tree with its silhouette will violate the general architectural concept, and therefore it will have to be cut down.
Country house. Good in that it can be erected, combining different styles. It all depends on the desire of the owner. Outbuildings are allowed, located on the territory of the courtyard in accordance with sanitary standards.
Mansion in the historic city center. Owners expect great difficulties in preparing documents for the construction of a garage, other utility buildings that violate the historical appearance. To convince the management of architecture is almost impossible.
The estate on the territory of extensive land. It requires a monumental project and remarkable talent of a landscape architect working in tandem with builders to ennoble a huge space, subordinate it to the logic of creative design, divide it into zones according to the principle of use, and then combine it into a harmonious ensemble.
Cottage in a garden partnership. A compact, comfortable space, the design of which requires a small area of the yard to place everything you need for a good rest. Exit: set the minimum dimensions of what you want to have. It is also worth considering optical illusions. Just as a well-visible perspective can make even a small area more voluminous, so a mirror framed by plants at the end of the alley can significantly push the boundaries.
Layout of private areas
The styles most often used in the design of the courtyard of any private house are the English landscape, Japanese kindergarten, French regular, Mediterranean, the style of the Russian estate, as well as the “domestic” style free from all signs, that iseclecticism, a combination of a variety of elements. Realizing the landscape design of your possession there is no need to maintain the style completely, you can limit yourself to just a few tricks, to "throw" a stylistic fleur on the object.
No matter how you position the house (it is recommended to plan the construction of the main building so as not to obscure the garden zone), it is still the center of the yard. Walking paths, an access alley are striving for it, the rest of the estate's buildings are tied. Each of the elements should correspond to the main building on the site, emphasize it, present the author’s design of the courtyard of the private house in the best way to present the visitor who came.
All private ownership can be divided into three large areas, according to their purpose. These include: a resting place, a territory bordering the main house, a green zone with outbuildings.

The recreation area can be divided into a pastime of the active part of the family, the “summer kitchen” sector and a relaxation area, a relaxing holiday. The first includes a gazebo, a children's corner (sandpit, swing, ladder), a tree house, a sports ground. The second is represented by barbecue, barbecue, stove complex. The third unites a pond, a bath complex, shady corners of the garden: an openwork bookstore bench under a tall tree, a summer house of creative solitude. They should be decorated with flowerpots that support the general garden color. The combination of color, peace and aroma - this is the rest in a country house.
The "green" zone includes a vegetable garden, orchard, hedges from berry bushes. It should be located away from the entrance to the site to minimize the ingestion of roadside dust and exhaust smoke on plants. Outbuildings can be solved in rural or fabulous styles.A fad that has become fashionable for absolutely urban residents - a chicken coop made according to an original design will decorate the site. And the cellar - the bilbo hobbit house with an earthen grassy roof - will allow you to show creative imagination.
Children's house on the site
Sometimes it is recommended to make the green roof “pseudo-grassy”, replace freezing grasses that require a significant subgrade, top dressing, regular watering, drought-resistant creeping succulents, stunted stonecrops. These plants create a spectacular voluminous carpet that does not require special care.
The local area, consisting of a front entrance zone (entrance group, parking, garage, gates) and a site adjacent to the house from the back, is a business card of the owners. It is very important not only what is behind the fence, but also what others see when approaching the house. A paved access road, an attractive fence, a beautiful mailbox on a gate or a stone fence post, blossoming bindweed - all this creates an atmosphere of a friendly, hospitable house, pleases the eyes of neighbors, and delights people passing by.
The private side means the exit from the house to the garden, the presence of a patio where groups of forged or wicker furniture are placed, blooming flower beds, Alpine slide or man-made fountain. Plan the design of the courtyard so that a beautiful view opens from the window of the living room, the central room in the house. Looking at the garden changing from season to season - snowy, blooming, bright autumn - you will every time admire the work of your hands.
Special objects of a large-scale estate
When designing a large space, the priorities of the owners, the direction of their activities, hobbies are taken into account. On the estate, special areas stand out for stables, alleys for horse riding and walking, a garden, a park with woodlands connected by lawns.For the owners, their adult children, maintenance staff provides several buildings away from each other. Other buildings - a garage, which houses a collection of retro cars, a pseudo-barn, as a place for an art gallery, a gazebo on an elevation that allows you to view the surroundings, an indoor pool, a winter conservatory - reflect the hobbies of the owners. Can also be planned tennis court, soccer field, mini-golf course, boat pier, extensive ponds ringed by canals, with bridges and transitions connecting the separate corners of the estate.
In addition to large objects, it is necessary to saturate a large space with “zest”, corners where it is interesting to look, and once you get there, you will not want to leave. Arbor, twined with grapes, a white statue in the thicket of blooming jasmine, a deck chair behind the vegetable wings where you can hide from home, feel the taste of solitude, merging with nature.
As a special decorating technique on the territory of a large estate, it is interesting to use signs with the names of routes, designed based on the stylistics of the overall design. This is organizationally correct, and in addition, will allow you to play with guests in Find Me.
Planning a courtyard terrace with pool
Garden Fun
We pay a little more attention to the design of the "green" zone of a private house. In garden design, the favorite of recent years has been a regular garden, a replica of the French royal gardens. In addition to the aesthetic impression, this option of arranging the garden area is convenient when leaving and working in it. Paved paths, high curbs, bordering beds, symmetry, clear lines, respect for proportions make it almost ideal. Plant objects planted, as if by a ruler, necessarily ranked by growth, bushes supported by annual forming pruning, fruit trees on trellises - all this makes the garden mathematically harmonious, visible in different planes with a pronounced volume of detail. And lush colors of garden vegetation smooth out the impression of a soulless standard, introducing a seething life.
Regular planning well organizes a garden of minimal dimensions. Clearly calculated space required for each plant, tall or stepped beds, flatly distributed branches of fruit trees that take up less space, compacted plantings of vegetable crops make it possible to fulfill all desires, to show an unlimited flight of imagination in a limited area.
The exact opposite of regular is a free-style garden where different plants are mixed, and their presence is determined only by desire. Following the principle of "dear to my heart," here are placed next door rose bushes, ornamental cabbage, marigolds, potatoes. The garden is separated from another space and the barbarity of pets low fence. A guard in front of the gate can be a figure of a funny man in a wide-brimmed hat. An interesting technique is planting in the fields of a hat in a thin layer of succulent substrate, which does not require a lot of earth and moisture.
Site lighting - a spectacular design technique
The landscape design of the courtyard does not appear without lighting in the dark. At night, the garden and houses take on a different shape, emphasized by the rays of the fixtures, selected according to the style and material of manufacture to the overall design of the house area.
You can organize the lighting of the tracks by laying a network of electric cables, feeding them from the main source of electricity, or provide for the use of completely free solar energy. When using the last option, enchantingly bright lighting will not work, but the main function - to ensure the safe movement of people along private paths in the evening - the storage batteries will perform properly.
Light can beat a special object of the house adjoining space. Thoughtful light groups will limit the recreation area, enveloping the path, highlight a pond with shining lights on the water surface - a charming sight that attracts like a magnet.Sitting on the shore of the illuminated reservoir, looking at the stars - for the sake of this pleasure, a country house is being built, the design of its yard is thought out.
