The climate, the conditions of temperature, humidity, light and warm soil conditions allow for the use of certain plant species in a particular climate.
The terrain is the basis for planning, engineering, architectural and artistic solutions to design landscaping suburban area. Therefore, experts are not only a detailed plan of the site, but the list of activities and components that are used in the creation of landscape solutions. Conditions may be different, respectively, for harmonization of rules and composite solutions must be used multiple approaches to the implementation of universal ideas.
More and more people are wondering what are the stages and what principles should include a project to create a normal landscape designer solutions. A comprehensive landscaping site or the area around the home, cottage or villa includes:
Creating a project landscaping works.
Creating a network of communications, drainage, irrigation systems and the creation of different levels of illumination, construction of the reservoir, leveling defects elevation, construction of venues for recreation, active play and more.
Laying the tracks, creating an arbor or a loft, a small building, the creation of thoughtful coverage of the project site in the evening.
Planting plants in soil that is pre-processing and preparation, planting seedlings of shrubs and trees.
Carrying out cleaning of the territory, installation of small architectural forms, more decorative-making, jewelry, and more.
Organization of work in the field of landscaping and organization solutions for landscaping as determined by the plot, the volume of necessary work of preparation and processing areas of engineering and design, as well as take into account the initial state of the site. In large parts of the work carried out in a certain order, dividing the site into smaller areas to maintain landscaping. On small areas defined by the order of works based on the synchronization of work performed to implement a coherent sequence. The ideal is to create a landscape design plan at this stage, when the house is still under construction. This will allow not only save money, but to achieve optimal results in the harmonious implementation of landscape works in the territory, not to fix bugs, which can then be under the influence of planning or construction of various parts of the garden or the infield.
Principles of Landscape Design
When it comes to contemporary landscape design should take into account a number of basic principles that allow to organize the work properly and provide the ability to create good design for all laws and regulations of the activity.
The overriding principle is the unity and well-organized selection of the plot, which displays a given landscape design environment. The process of the design decisions for the landscape is bound to obey strictly formulated a unified concept. At the heart of the world-famous landscapes of parks, gardens, galleries, museums, outdoor monuments, and palace architecture is carefully crafted sequence of landscapes, which are integrated with the route by walking, the environment, terrain features, light levels and differences of surface, on which are laid track. The introduction of the so-called "landscape breaks" allowed to give the viewer a chance to rest on contrasts or too impressive species due to climate change. Compliance with this technique at the heart of modern design makes it possible to avoid a monotonous or boring pictures all over your site.
The next principle is rational and balanced organization of space by linking together into a single structure of spatial elements:
- Elements of the plan;
- Elements of architectural and spatial forms;
- Elements of the plane.
Next - the law taking into account the laws of the human eye perception of public and private space. It is necessary to consider a set of principles that are taken as a basis for putting into practice the laws of linear perspective, the optical characteristics of review relief or elongated objects, the relative position of objects on a smooth and rough surfaces, the effect of the background scenery of the sky and the angle of incidence of sunlight on the overall impression of the considered objects or landscape elements. You should also take into account the effect of expanding the review, reduce or extend the distance by optical illusions and relative placement of objects on the surface.
The following is the practical application of the principles of the law of aerial perspective. The distance from the observer to the object affects the perception of the color of the outline of the object in the visual survey. The depth of the landscape or change the perspective of distances can be accessed through the use of plantings with one or another shade of the foliage, which allows you to adjust the spatial effects.
The principles of a balanced realization of light and shadow is also very important. Changing the colors should be such as to and from the changing seasons took place adequate change of color of leaves, shades, tones on the environment, making it possible to enjoy the scenery whatever the weather and season.
It is important to respect the principles and requirements of the side lighting, which helps set off the beneficial objects to give them texture and volume at different times of day when the sun's rays fall at different angles and with varying intensity that reveals the benefits of green space, landscape elements of the composition, or small architectural forms.
Important principle and harmony in the colors of the selected solution landscape. Color range includes over 130 different shades and colors of landscape change in form takes place from 9 times a year. When it comes to shaping koloristki landscape, it is essential not only to comply with the general approach to color solutions, but also to think through the details. The task of landscape designer - to create a favorable background for a person of color, which would positively affect the body and please the eye. In making key decisions on the color composition is very important that a combination of colors and shades were built either on the basis of contrasting solutions, or as a combination of a range of colors, without the effect of color chaos. At the same colors and the light level must be balanced.
The final aspect of the principles of building a harmonious landscape design is the use of rhythm, contrast and nuance. Acceptance of the structural rhythm of the repetition makes it possible to implement individual components and the spaces between them. Lasting impression is created when the elements are repeated at least 4 (sometimes - and 6) times. Contrast allows you to create a strong expression differences between objects according to one or several selected characteristics (shape, colors, open space, light balance, etc.).
The abundance of contrasting parameters, but also welcome, as their absence. When you create a harmonious landscape of your garden plot or in the garden, it is important to combine a contrast between themselves and nuance that requires both professionalism and attention to detail. Often, parts are formed by shades, as well as skilful alternation of symmetry and asymmetry.
Skillful application of the basic principles listed above allows you to create a truly beautiful and spectacular landscape.
Alpine hill
Create alpine (rock gardens), it became quite a fashion trend, not only for recreation, private hotels and boarding houses, but also for country houses. This rocky mini garden, created in the style of fantasy or "romantic."
This landscape decision was widespread in the European estates during the XIX - early XX century. The purpose of this landscape solutions in a country or a private house has been mapping the flora of high mountains of the Alps at the ordinary landscape with the creation of a harmonious mood. These solutions do not require tight binding to a specific area of land that allowed them to place almost anywhere, limiting by small stones or decorative borders. In the central part of the alpine slide is a heavy stone or a cluster of large-sized stones, which symbolically represent the mountain peak. The main value lies in the Alpine hills of aesthetic decision and harmony, not in strict compliance requirements of the Highlands flora of the Alps. As the base material used tuff with granite, limestone rocks, often fragments of columns, small decorative ruins. With the evolution of composite solutions in the gardens and home gardens in the rock gardens and other cultivated plants, which gave the impression of plants with the alpine pastures. There is also a more modern interpretation, entitled "rocky."
Rising popularity of alpine slides was due to their decorative effect, and a departure from traditional conservative ideas about how to look farmland. In addition, the beauty of the slopes of the stones (though not as large as the real Alps) has always been attractive to human eyes. More and more people are doing on their sites are large, medium, or very tiny rock gardens. And for those who just want to get a landscape solution for yourself, give some guidelines on how to start at the alpine slide.
First, the application of this element as a component for the design of the garden is not as straightforward as it might seem at first. It is imperative that your mini-miracle, reflecting the beauty of the distant Alps, was not only attractive in itself, but also perfectly suitable for the surrounding landscape. So you can get a beautiful alpine slide, and not just a pile of stones covered with rare ornamental plants.
It is important to consider not only the compositional placement, and size of area, performance shady, light, presence of slopes and flat areas on the territory where the alpine garden will be located. The alpine slide is quite conservative-traditional element, which will require you or the professionals who will do it for you, a large area and some practical skills in the field of site development. Before starting work on the alpine slide, think carefully about the appropriateness and harmony of the landscape is the solution to your site. If the site is small, it would look too bulky and awkward, that by itself will affect the final results.
If you really want your alpine slide kept at the outset of her beauty and over the years become a more attractive and beautiful, we must observe the rules of care and maintenance of this element to your landscape design. Careful and regular maintenance of slide includes a process of regular watering, loosening the soil, carrying mulch. Watering should be alpine slide at a time when the planted vegetation begins growing season. Before watering should take into account the fact that some plants need plenty of moisture, while others are drought resistant and require little water. To account for these nuances, it is necessary to form a thorough watering schedule for all plants and shrubs that grow on your hill, watering and agree also with the peculiarities of climate and season. In the autumn alpine garden will require your careful care, because it will be necessary to clean the falling leaves, trim trees, shrubs, insulate certain plants before the onset of cold weather and protect them from frost in the spring as the soil must be compacted, to watering, to destroy pests and organize feeding with synthetic and organic fertilizers.
