Landscaping option for a site with a large elevation difference
A site with different relief heights can be visually divided into separate zones. To create a sense of the integrity of the site, its design is designed taking into account the unifying elements. Shrubs, lawns and paved paths are often used as such elements. On a site with irregularities, you should not build many massive steps. The stairs only emphasize the unevenness of the site. Use instead shrubs different heights. Plants with a height of 1.5 meters are usually planted on flat surfaces.
Flowerbeds and green areas on the site
Shrubs from the turf family can be planted on the "hills". They are not high, but grow in breadth. Using this property, you can equip a whole green meadow on the site, and since there are a lot of turf varieties, the meadow can be red or purple. Turf is also great for flower beds or flower beds. It is planted next to flowers that love partial shade.
On gentle slopes and in the lowlands, it is better to hide the steps with trees and tall vines. This will give the site an even appearance and a rectangular shape. With the help of vines, you can also close outbuildings on the site. Install a high trellis near them, and then the vines will grow up to 2.5 m in height. The fastest growing are wild and girlish grapes, but cultivars can also be planted.
Planting the entire area with plants is not worth it. When planning areas, consider recreational areas such as a gravel garden or gazebo for barbecue.
Arrangement of a gravel garden
The gravel garden is an excellent transition from the green area of the site to the recreation area. It is very easy to make such a garden. To do this, you need to dig several holes and plant shrubs or flowers in them. Then, just below the level of the root collar of plants, a tape or thread is pulled in order to pour an even layer of gravel. Next, you need to remove the top layer of soil and pour gravel instead. Sometimes the gravel layer is replaced with pebbles or small river stones.
Large-flowered plants look bad in a gravel garden. It is better to plant such plants as marigolds, Korean chrysanthemums or maiden grapes in it.
The gravel garden can be used for sun loungers and parasols, or for a children's playground. The border of the gravel garden and the covered barbecue area is covered with pebbles of a different color for visual separation.
Space around the gazebo
The space around the gazebo should not be empty either. Thinking over the design of this area, remember that it can be turned into another green area or into a stone area with a summer cafe and grill. Border beds are usually made around the gazebo.
