Certain arrangement rules are universal, regardless of whether we are talking about decorating a house or a garden.Here and here you need to take into account the position in relation to the sun, proportions, deviation from the ground level, etc.
Effective design is characterized by the optimal use of space. Just like at home - everything has to be in place. The composter should be out of the way, the rest corner in a quiet garden, and the terrace in a sunny place.In this way, independent spaces are created that, on the one hand, retain their individual character, and on the other hand, coexist coherently with the entire environment.
In such circumstances, it becomes necessary to divide the space with the use of available elements of small garden architecture, hedges, assumptions made of ornamental plants. However, it is not the number of separating elements that is most important, but that they are in their place. How to check it?The easiest way is to use a pencil and a piece of paper, on which we apply a scaled plot of land.Where the dividing lines overlap, you would need to enter a divider. It remains to decide how tall it should be and how long.
Separating elements do not need to form a defensive wall to separate effectively.Usually, a symbolic passage accentuated by a simple picket fence, a line of plants or a path.Anyway, borders can be marked not only with spatial (three-dimensional) elements, but also with flat elements, which differ in color and texture, the best of which is an example are the materials used for pavement hardening.The transition from one zone to the next can be marked with stairs or a threshold, especially if the terrain is uneven.
Simple way to mark the border
The separating elements may be permanent or temporary, installed seasonally as needed. The easiest way to mark the border is to place potted plants. Evergreen plants or grasses are very well suited for this purpose. Among the first, we can recommend thuja, yew, boxwood, among the grasses it is worth mentioning sedge, fescue or slender hakonechloa.
Large separating elements such as walls and hedges break the viewing axes. However, they are useful, because they protect from the wind, provide shade, and protect our privacy.Erecting a wall of natural stone, brick or concrete gives an immediate utility effect, although it may be laborious.
No less than getting a hedge from young cuttings. The difference is that a green fence is cheaper. At the junction of two zones, the presence of a pergola or wicket is also justified. Then no one will have any doubts that we are entering a different space.
