Garden paths

In some regions, the soil is so viscous that you can’t pull your feet out of the mud - it sticks to your shoes in a heavy lump. The only way out is to provide aesthetically pleasing paved passages between summer cottages.

- compacted fine gravel and sand;
- homemade paving slabs;

The bottom of the trench is compacted with gravel and sand, regardless of the type of paving material.
Next, you need to organize formwork for concrete with filler or sides for large blocks. Low log pegs and rows of glass or plastic bottles of the same size dug upside down are suitable as decorative borders.

Between the formwork, a compacted trench is filled with a concrete base for recessed finishing materials. Between the pieces of mosaic path tiles, you need to carefully fill the seams.
Alleys made of bricks, blocks and solid tiles (without connection cement mixture) sprinkle sand along the seams.
When laying tiles or bricks on sand, use a rubber or wooden hammer– for adjustment and alignment.
The horizontal is adjusted using the building level.
If the site is located in a lowland, be sure to organize drainage, otherwise the alleles may turn into drains during a rainstorm. The situation will be saved by a shallow drainage ditch parallel to the garden path, paved with ceramic fragments or filled with cement.
Design ideas for the dacha will be implemented the best way, if all stages of the path construction and its decoration are done slowly and efficiently, following the laying technology. The easiest way is to use ready-made lattice templates for homemade paths made of cement with filler, as in the photo.

Hedges are a great way to save money on zoning your summer cottage with your own hands. Suitable shrubs for pruning, regular or standard roses in the form of a tree. Low-growing border roses are planted between them, creating a two-row flower wall.
The simplest side is made from plastic bottles. Containers of the same color are filled with sand, gravel or soil. Bottles are dug halfway into a small trench and covered with earth or stone chips. They may be empty, but they last longer when filled with something.
Attention! Plastic bottles cannot be filled with water - lenses form under the sun's rays, which burn nearby plants. There might even be a fire.

Depending on the climatic conditions of the region, grapes or fragrant flowers may spread along the top of such a gallery.
In hot climates it is better to make an indoor gallery. Remnants of light-transmitting ones will also work. roofing materials. Canopies along decorative paths can only be on the south side, but at an angle to provide more shade. A wire trellis is stretched between the posts where the plants will climb.

Landscape design with a children's playground
So that children don’t get bored at the dacha, and they don’t waste time while working in the garden and beds, there is a solution - a children’s playground with a sandbox and funny homemade figures.
An important condition is that the place for children’s games should be clearly visible from different angles of the summer cottage in order to observe what is happening.
The sides of the sandbox can be easily built using available materials:
- palisade made of logs;
- painted boards;
- wide wooden box;

More original ideas They will prompt you with a photo from our gallery.
A house “like in the picture”, paths that are dry in any weather, a paved area in front of a well and a bench, smooth and well-groomed beds, bright flower beds - isn’t this the dream of any summer resident? Anyone can create comfort in their dacha plot: the main thing is not to forget about aesthetics in the whirlwind of dacha worries.
The house and its surroundings
It doesn't matter what yours is made of. country house and what size it is. In any case, it should look neat and always have a presentable appearance. The impression of being well-groomed is not difficult to create by three simple components: fresh paint, clean windows and flowers in containers.
If your house is surrounded by lush bushes that deprive the room of sunlight and introduce dampness, it is worth considering whether you really need them in your garden. Neglected mock orange and lilac bushes or rose hips mixed with weeds are not suitable for decorating the facade. You can try to improve them by carrying out rejuvenating and shaping pruning, or replace them with more useful and beautiful plants.
By the way
Piling up “much needed items” against the back wall definitely doesn’t add to the beauty of your home. That's what sheds are for. And it is better to place essential items such as gloves, pruning shears, hoe and shovel close to the place of work. Arrange a shelf in a greenhouse or build a small extension to a toilet house or woodshed. Such structures will not require serious expenses, since they are easy to put together from shipping boxes and construction pallets or croaker.
Garden culture
The summer resident usually gives the best places on the plot to the orchard and beds. To make your garden beautiful and comfortable to work in, provide yourself with the right conditions. If you do not have the opportunity or desire to pave the walkways, cover them non-woven material or agro-cloth, or mulch with mown grass in a layer of at least 10 cm. Deprive weeds and lawn grass of any possibility of getting into the beds using strips of iron dug along their perimeter or special border strips 15-20 cm wide. Lay out the garden so that there is no room in the aisles. only stand, but also sit on a small bench or work in knee pads. And in the shade next to the beds, install a comfortable bench for relaxation.
Don't forget about the eye candy! It’s more pleasant and even somehow easier to work on smooth and beautiful beds. Plant edible and medicinal plants such as calendula, nasturtium. Ornamental shrubs such as bladderwort, Japanese spirea, and hydrangeas that are resistant to diseases and pests are quite appropriate in the garden area. Do not leave bare land after harvesting part of the crop; occupy it with fast-growing green crops.
Do not throw buckets, hoes and rakes around! Not only is it dangerous, but it also looks messy. At the end of gardening work, always leave a little energy to put your gloves and equipment in order, so that next time you start working with dry gloves and with working tools.Relaxing places
Recently, relaxation in the garden has become more and more diverse thanks to swings, barbecue houses, swimming pools, trampolines, children's playgrounds. In order not to feel like you are taking a walk in a city park, this “economy” must somehow be hidden from prying eyes. In a small area, when there is not enough space, compact plants with a dense crown and trellises entwined with vines will come to the rescue. At the same time, they will help to successfully divide the space into zones.
Pay special attention to the “living screen” for the pool. Leaves and flower petals falling into the water can pollute the water, so it is better to surround the pool with evergreen coniferous plants. A green round dance of specimens of thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’ planted every 1.2 m will do the job perfectly. Thujas can be planted either in a checkerboard pattern (for a denser canopy) or in a row. A planting that follows the shape of a reservoir, for example in the form of a crescent or a horseshoe, looks more interesting.
All according to plan!
It is better to start any alterations on the site by drawing up its plan. If you are computer friendly, then in a special program you can not only design a garden, but also see it in a mature form, and even take a virtual walk through it. A diagram drawn on paper, of course, does not provide such an opportunity, but it is quite suitable for taking into account the degree of illumination of each corner, understanding where and how best to plant a vegetable garden, plant a garden, build a shed or sow a lawn. Making a plan is very useful, even if you are an experienced summer resident, and the plot is more than one year old. In this case, all plantings and buildings are carefully marked on it, and the most significant of them are noted. It is possible that when you look closely at the diagram you will want to change something.
At the source
If previously a well was the property of several households or even an entire village, now this structure can be found in almost every garden plot. To protect from precipitation, dust and plant leaves, the well is usually covered with a lid or a “house” is built, the design of which often echoes the general style of the house and other garden buildings, and some craftsmen even build real masterpieces, decorated with carvings, tiles or decorative stones.
The easiest way to get rid of the clutter around the well is to pave or concrete a small area. Even if you raise water not with a bucket, but with a pump, the platform will not only give the well a finished, neat look, but will also extend the life of the well house and make it easier to maintain.
Every person probably dreams of always being surrounded by beauty. Beauty should surround us not only in the house, but also on the street. Today it is customary to decorate not only inner space dwellings, but also garden plots. A professional designer can do everything to the highest standard. But you will have to pay a lot of money for his services. And if you don’t have huge sums of money, then you can do it on your own. Indeed, in order to make your yard attractive you do not need to spend a lot of money. In this case, you can get by on a limited budget. Remember that garden design for the poor with your own hands can make absolutely any summer cottage attractive.
Planning an economical garden design
It is important to say at the beginning that it will not be possible to improve the area without spending any money. Therefore, you should first calculate the amount of finance that you can allocate for improvement. Below we will describe the sequence of actions with which your garden will become more attractive.
We are looking for materials for the arrangement.
There is probably old trash at your dacha. As a rule, it is stored in sheds or storage rooms. You will use items suitable for garden design. In this case, the following may be used in decorating the garden: boards, logs, old car tires, holey barrels and buckets, pieces of reinforcement. You can even use holey shoes to arrange small mini-flower beds. And an old bathtub and a broken stroller can be used as a flower garden.
We are assessing the site and future work.
If you are interested in design garden plots with your own hands, then you can look at some photos for inspiration. Thanks to them, you can find the perfect solution for yourself. Before you start decorating your garden, it is important to assess your site and draw up a rough plan. In this case you can use computer program, and if you don’t know how to use a computer, then you don’t need to despair. Arm yourself with a pen and notebook and go to your yard. You need to sketch out a rough plan of your site on a piece of paper. In your notebook, designate the house and those buildings that are involved as outbuildings. The plan should indicate the location of the cardinal directions. It is also necessary to assess the configuration of the site. Write about your soil and note any unevenness it has.
If the house was recently built and there are no plantings next to it, then this is a good situation. But in practice it is completely different. And that’s why we all want to change the situation and produce inexpensive landscape design for a summer cottage. As a rule, cheap materials or those materials that are at hand can be used here. You need to think about the layout of your garden plot. What changes will you make in this case? If you intend to move your garden, then think in advance about the work that will be carried out.
Those plants that are already growing in the country are written out on a separate sheet. In a separate column, indicate those trees and plants that do not make sense to replant. You can change the look of your garden quickly and cheaply with perennials. There is no need to buy plants. Just ask your friends who can give you their shoots.
Planning details.
Out of hand experienced designer may come out beautiful drawing and a plan for describing actions to improve the garden plot. But even without any skills, you can do just as well. On the plan in a regular notebook, you should draw with a pen the details that you want to obtain. In this case, it is necessary to place explanatory notes on the side.
On the plan, flower beds are indicated by an oval or a square. It all depends on the form they will have in the future. Straight or winding lines indicate paths in the garden. Large circles are large trees. Small circles are bushes. A number is placed in the center of the circle. And then on a separate piece of paper opposite each one we put the name of the plant.
In general, you need to develop your own notation system for design elements. This system should be convenient and understandable for you. At the same time, you can change your plan taking into account your capabilities and desires.
There are a few tips to keep in mind when planning your garden design. In this case, you can make the right decision and make your garden very beautiful.
We take into account the location of the cardinal points.
- In the garden plot, everything must be located correctly relative to the cardinal directions.
- The north side will always be in the shade. Therefore, it is better to place a place to relax in this area.
- On east side Sun rays stay from sunrise until noon. In such an area, it is most pleasant to drink a cup of tea early in the morning and listen to the birds singing. Therefore, it is recommended to place a table or bench here.
- The western side is well illuminated by the sun's rays. This usually happens from midday until sunset.
- The south side is considered the best in the garden. The sun is located in this part throughout the daylight hours. Therefore, it is recommended to place all design elements, as well as flower beds, in this area.
We divide the area into zones.
Even the smallest can be divided into certain zones land plot. In this case, you won’t have to build huge walls or plant expensive shrubs. Here you can get by budget option. To divide the area, just drive a couple of stakes and pull the string. A climbing perennial or annual plant should be planted nearby. The effect will be amazing. You can also string string between two trees.
On a strong support that can last for more than one year, you can use: various varieties grapes, clematis, honeysuckle. You can divide the area using: arches with looping plants, trellises or some kind of decorative walls.
Paths and paths.
Ordinary paths and paths in the country are not the best solution. As a rule, walking on them is not very convenient due to dirt and weeds. The solution to the situation is simple. The paths are tiled. It's convenient and beautiful. You can also fill them with crushed stone or gravel. Naturally, the second option is cheaper, but if you have the opportunity, then choose tiles.
An excellent solution for the garden would be a grass path called “bird knotweed.” This weed easily colonizes any surface. He is not afraid of trampling, but summer time Walking along such a path is a real pleasure. This grass grows high speed. Therefore, its growth can be reduced by trimming with trimmer scissors.
A wonderful and very comfortable path can be made from birch logs. These logs are simply sawn into circles, which should not be too thin. After which, the path is laid out in circles. The result will be very beautiful, and the path will last you a long time. 
On a note! A path of birch circles should not be laid out in the place where children play. They may trip over the mugs and get hurt.
And some more tips on arranging paths and paths.
- For a solo hike, a path 60-80 cm wide is suitable.
- For paired paths, a path 1.2 meters wide is constructed.
- To approach the house, a path is built, 1.2-1.4 meters wide. Moreover, the garden path on the approach to the house should gradually widen.
- The shape of the path must be chosen taking into account landscape features your dacha plot.
- If the path has sharp bends, then they are masked. As a rule, in this case they use ornamental trees or shrubs.
- There should be a flat and wide road from the front exit to the gate.
Let's talk about curbs
Borders are an integral part of any summer cottage. They can be built from different materials. Suitable in this case: tiles and border tape. But sometimes such materials are not available at the dacha. The way out of the situation is very simple. Take disks and planks of wood. But they should first be soaked with used machine oil. This action will prevent rotting of the material. Such borders may not last long. But during this time you will be able to find those materials that will become a replacement and form a beautiful border.
Lawn at the dacha.
In this article, we list DIY garden design ideas. In addition to tips, you can also see photos here. Lawns are quite common in landscape design. But this element is considered the most difficult to care for. And if you don’t have the money to buy seeds, but really want to have a plot of land with a lawn, then you can get by with a budget option. In this situation, select an area with grass that is regularly mowed. Remember that when you constantly mow the grass, weeds lose their ability to grow and also reproduce. After a couple of years of such actions weed will leave the site completely, and she will be replaced beautiful herbs, which usually grow in the meadow.
A lawn of meadow grasses will not be very beautiful. However, caring for such an area is extremely simple. They mow it once a month, but do not remove the grass; it will act as fertilizer. In addition, it will be difficult for weeds to grow through it. This type of lawn has several other advantages. For example, it is not afraid of trampling and it is so pleasant to walk on it barefoot in the summer to harden the body.
Small forms of architecture.
MAFs are auxiliary elements in the decoration of a garden plot. MAF is small architectural forms. They can be: benches, gazebos, arches, pergolas and other elements. Some of these elements are easy to make yourself. At the same time, you won’t have to spend enormous amounts of money. For example, it’s very easy to make benches. And to add beauty or from strong winds, a trellis is installed behind the bench, which is made of slats or slats. Also, for beauty, you can plant vines that will beautifully entwine this support.
Quite often you can see gazebos in the garden area. But it’s not so easy to build it with your own hands. Yes, and this event is costly. You can do it differently. Take reinforcement or high poles from which to form a hut. Climbing plants are planted next to such a structure. Naturally, such a gazebo is not capable of protecting from rain and precipitation. But it is quite possible to hide from the sun. In addition, such a product will be an excellent decorative element.
Flower beds and flower beds.
Just digging up the area and planting flowers on it is half the battle. It is worth remembering that even the most expensive plant varieties will look ridiculous in poorly maintained beds or flower beds. Best used in composition fewer plants. However, it is worth thinking about combining them.
At the dacha, flower beds and flower beds can be of completely different shapes. Moreover, the size can also be different. Construction beautiful flower garden is not an easy task. But, if you take into account some rules, you will succeed. 
First of all, the selected location and environmental conditions are assessed. The area for planting flowers must be consecrated and have fertile soil. Plants are planted only in suitable place. They are grouped according to watering requirements. In this case, it is highly not recommended to plant a moisture-loving plant with a plant that likes moderate watering. In such a situation, one of the plants will definitely suffer.
When planting flowers, you should pay attention to the tiers. In the foreground are low flowers. But plant the larger ones in the back. Small plants should frame the entire flower garden if it is clearly visible from all sides. But large flowers are planted in the center.
Throughout the season, the flower garden should play a decorative role. Before you plan your flowerbed, you need to know the flowering dates of the plants you plan to plant. Pay attention to decorative foliage plants. They are quite diverse. Therefore, you can easily find everything you need.
Everything in the flower garden flowering plants must match in color. A flowerbed with flowers must be carefully selected. A good option are flowers white. They can be combined with flowers of any color. But the 50:50 color ratio is not particularly beautiful. The correct combination is 1/3 and 2/3.
Flower beds made from handy materials

Cash you only have to spend on planting material, but to create flower beds you will need handy materials.
