Decoration of beds by own hands
Experts insist: do not be afraid that all work will need to be done independently. It is only necessary to first think over how to decorate the garden and get down to business.
The main thing is to follow certain rules and not to make mistakes, and, after a certain time, the result will exceed all expectations.
How to make a flower bed
Any flowerbed-flower garden should be in harmony with the overall garden stylization and at the same time form a holistic visual perception of the overall picture. Any landscape fragment should be properly located, so that it is beneficial to complement the overall landscape.
Planting plants of different varieties along the entire perimeter of the land plot is unlikely to help achieve the desired results. There is no sense in greening the entire backyard area at the same time. To start better with a small square footage, maximizing all the nuances, creating a unique and complete picture.
The color palette for decoration of the flower garden should be chosen competently and harmoniously. A tinted combination of different cultures should not tire the eyes. Too much variegation will have a tasteless appearance. It is much better to look like a flower bed with a maximum of three dominant shades.
When choosing crops for planting on the site, one should remember about their combination with each other. Many people know that there are plant varieties that are quite oppressive to other species that grow nearby.
Considering the formation of the flower garden, the choice is to stop on those varieties that are first of all pleasing to the eye, and the second, do not cause problems with planting and leaving (the ideal option is those cultures that the owners had previously dealt with: planting, growing, watering, leaving and so on).
With regard to the correct design of the flower garden, it is worth remembering the principle of planting plants in several tiers. For example, a flower garden with one deaf side can be designed as follows:
- closer to the rear is to plant plants with longer stems
- in the middle it is desirable to place cultures with an average stem
- for the foreground, the stunted and crawling ones are quite suitable.
Before you start working on creating a flowerbed, it makes sense to sketch out an approximate drawing plan and think carefully about what, how and where to plant. Each sort of flowers throws out buds at different times. Given this fact, the flower bed can be arranged in such a way that it will be pleasant for a long time (several months) with bright colors.
Before planting plants, it is necessary to decide on its architectural design. It is very important to take into account the size of the land and its shape, as well as the type of landscape. For example, in a more flat terrain, flat compositions will be ideal, if there are slopes, you should not even think about another option, it is necessary to create an alpine hill.
Arrangement of flower beds
The arrangement of a flower bed is an art that is subject not only to qualified specialists, but to novice amateur gardeners. Possessing a designer's vision and excellent imagination, you can add to your personal plot of splendor and sophistication by creating an interesting landscape element.
And now it's time to consider which types of beds are used most often.
Ground floor. Such a flower garden is located on a large territory.
Its constituent parts are a large number of lawns and flower beds, which have the appearance of geometric, symmetrically placed figures. In the creation of the stalls can be involved and various architectural fragments (sculptures, statues, fountains and the like).
Creating a similar flower garden on your own site requires considerable financial expenses, physical strength and time. In most cases, they can be seen in city parks or park palace complexes.
Rabatka. It has the form of a rectangle.
Often, the location of such a flower garden occurs next to buildings or structures, fences, paths in garden areas. The width of such a flower bed can range from 0.5 meters to 2. Planting plants in the rabbit can be variously. Beautifully look and those that are planted with one grade, and those on which the compositions of several are decorated.
Also here you can use a longline planting: in the central part you will place more bulky and massive plants, and nearer to the edges you will place smaller ones.
Border. He has the similarity of a rabbit, but it is smaller in size. The width is not more than 0.60 centimeters. When compiling do not use more than 3 species of plants.
The purpose of the curb, first of all, is to separate a certain zone (zoning). Here, in the past of flowers, you can use small shrubs or herbs.
Flower garden. Here, the landing occurs in a decorative container (pot, barrel, vase, cart and the like).
A flower garden of this kind is ideal for landscaping a site with no open soil. The Flower Garden can be located both in the villa's outdoor balcony and on the half-open veranda.
Decorative garden. Such a territory is interesting because there are garden crops and flowers on it.
Cleverly combined bright plants can turn a decorative vegetable garden into a very picturesque area.

The flower-country. This option will appeal to lovers of natural and simple.
For registration, you will need any favorite wild flowers and a place for their landing (the car of an old car, a wooden cart, a medium-sized boat, and the like).
The flower bed is vertical. It is an extraordinary piece of design on the site. The construction of this flower bed is as follows: two or three pots having different volumes are set one-on-one in such a way that the pot with the biggest diameter is placed in the bottom, and on it with the smaller one.
The design should resemble a pyramid. In each of the containers planted flowers of different varieties, but at the same time, without fail, consider their compatibility with each other and in color, and in the size of the buds.
Garden-flowerbed. It is located between the wall of the building and the sidewalk or path. Fencing for the flowerbed with their own hands can be made in the form of a decorative fence.
The length of the front garden depends on the length of the building, near which it is decorated.
Rockary. In the center of the composition of this kind there is a large stone or a group of smaller stones.
Around it there are stunted plants, which do not require special care. Rockary is convenient to use on microelement poor soils.
Rose garden. This piece of design will effectively impress its brightness.

Original flower beds with own hands
First determine the location. It is necessary to proceed from the fact how much plants are planned for planting, they will get accustomed to the chosen place. You need to take into account everything: soil composition, landscape type, illumination, purge.
Once the location is determined, you need to do the following:
- note the boundaries of the future design;
- in the marked area, remove the top 15-20 cm of soil;
- it is good to compact the soil along the entire perimeter of the flower bed;
- at the bottom of the drainage (lay clay, broken brick or crushed stone);
- design the border of the construction, the choice of the source material can be done independently, based on the style of direction and financial possibilities (for example, the design of the flower bed of stones is quite acceptable, a kind and not an expensive option), in addition, for the sake of economy, you can make decoration materials for the flower bed with your own hands;
- fill the pit with a sufficient amount of soil, suitable for the growth of those plants that are planned for planting;
- leave the territory for two weeks without changes for a complete rest of the land.
Of course, the choice of crops for planting should be based on personal priorities, but experts advise you to listen to the following:
- there are flowers that do not combine and do not fit together (carnations and roses);
- there are flowers that can not coexist with other plants (lilies of the valley, chrysanthemums, sunflowers);
- special attention should be paid to the density of planting crops (located too tightly, after a while will begin to crush each other, wither and wither);
- do not have seedlings too far away from each other - this will disrupt the decorative perception (the most noticeable will be the bald patches in cases of the creation of flowers from any pattern);
- the selection of plants should be made in such a way as to ensure flowering throughout the warm season.
After the planting is over, you need to look after the flower garden:
- periodically fertilize the soil
- get rid of weeds
- organize, proper for each plant species, correct watering
- periodically loosen the soil around the root system
- late autumn (with the first nocturnal frosts) to cover the flowerbed with polyethylene.
