DIY landscape design

Decorating a yard, garden or summer cottage is not an easy, but very exciting activity. Moreover, this is an endless process - something is constantly changing, improving, improving. To make the site look organic, you need special knowledge about the principles of planning and design. They are known as landscaping. There is a lot of information on this topic, but first, it's enough to know basics of landscape planning and the rules of registration.

Land improvement begins boringly - with drawing up a plan, and on a scale and only then the planned is transferred into reality. The first step is to mark the location of existing large objects (house, bathhouse, garage, etc.) and access roads. Small decorative forms are placed on the free area - pond (from fountain or without), flower beds, rock gardens, gazebos. All objects connect tracks and paths and even think over where and what trees and shrubs to plant.

Something else will have to change and redo, and, perhaps, more than once. Because not always what looks good on paper also looks natural.
