Already at the design stage, it should be taken into account that the house and garden should fit together.Country-style buildinglooks good in arustic garden,which, for example, does not fit in with a modern, industrial solid made of concrete and steel. The raw facade of such a building is best harmonized with a green arrangement with a small number of colors, dominated by clean, straight lines and forms.
Climbers - green walls
The best idea for merging a garden and a house is to cover the outer wallsclimbing plantsAlways green ivy or shedding leaves for the winterVirginia creepercan climb on vertical planes, even without the help of additional supports or frames.Large annual increments ( ivy- up to 1 m,wild wine- up to 1.5 m) prevent us from waiting long for the walls of the house covered themselves with a thick green carpet of leaves. However, remember to carefully prepare the surface, as the sticky roots and plant rebates firmly stick to the plaster and are difficult to tear off, and young growths enter every crack. In the case of freshly applied plaster with planting of climbers, wait 1-2 years.
Theclimbing hydrangea , which blooms in June-July, decorating the house wall with creamy white inflorescences, will also do very well on the shaded, rough surface of the raw wall. On the other hand, flowering stemswisteriaandhoneysucklewill decorate sunny facades perfectly, but the stems of these plants need support.
Discounts right next to the house
A harmonious combination of a building with a garden can be a perennial bed between the house and the path, especially when taller plants grow close to the wall, and the lowest or ground cover species on the edge of the path.The problem with too dry a substrate for these perennials may appear at the southern wall and under the wider eaves of the roof. In such places it is worth using a drip system of soil irrigation.
Trees and taller shrubs
Such plantings, placed in front of the house or next to it, allow for a gradual and gentle connection between the house and the garden. A lush green pergola plays a similar role, but in both cases the plants should not obstruct the windows too much.He althy treesare not a threat to your home, but brittle trees should not be planted near itpoplaraniacacia robiniiTree roots are not dangerous for concrete foundations.
Plants in containers
The walls of the building and the passages between the house and the garden gain an additional attractive appearance thanks to plants in pots or boxes. However, they require morecare , even when it comes to watering - even twice a day in summer.As a rule, the containers are refilled every year.
"Green living room "
"The great advantage of open air lounges, which in good weather are an extension of the house, is the possibility of changing the decor by moving garden furniture and pots with plants. The furniture should be durable, therefore it is made of special speciesexotic wood , as well as aluminum, modern plastics and rust-resistant steel. In this way, the equipmentof the green living roomcan be left in the garden throughout the season. "
