TIPS Before Redesigning Gardens

1. Look through the window of your house, and notice what you see. Is the view from the living room, kitchen and from other rooms similar to what you see now? If not, this scene could be changed or redesigned with plant or build something to highlight the beauty or the lack of cover outside areas of our house?

2. Sit down with members of your family and discuss what is good and bad about the house and land in the yard, and list what they want to change.

3. Look carefully home and other people's yard when you walk. You could also took a tour of an organization follow garden club, horticultural society and other charitable organizations.

9 Mistake Make Garden at Home

In some time ago, a friend who complained that his house looks barren garden, unlike the other houses he had seen or even that often is in a magazine. And he had tried to copy even garden design that he thinks pretty and beautiful. The result, still did not satisfy .

If we observe, the park houses some places will give a different impression. There was a look of beautiful and harmony with its surroundings, there is a visible barren and dry, and some even look too thick, so give the impression of a dark and forbidding. So the question arises, what wrong with these gardens?

Apparently, consciously or not, there are some common error made in the design and manufacturing process. The following observations and other info from some common mistakes made when creating the park.

1. Planting leafy
Generally, at the time of manufacture, we buy a plant with a smaller size. Usually directly planted with spacing narrower than the recommended spacing. For the tree, because it looked small, it is planted too close to other tree without taking into account developments in the adult branch. In the foreseeable future, the result will look stacked, and too dense.

2. Too Many Plant type
One of the principles of design as a 'continuity of design sustainability' (continuity) will feel lost and do not merge when using many types of plants. Determining the specific types of design and repetition in a particular section will be binding and unification of the whole design so it looks harmonious with the existing environment.

3. One Choosing Plants
Conditions contained house shaded area and not a major factor to consider. Make no mistake selecting and placing one type of plant that are not in accordance with optimum growing conditions. The characteristics of the inaccuracy of the plant leaves quickly turn yellow and brown, dry, to death in a short time.

4. Grass and shrub order Inappropriate
Generally a room with a grass surface will be decorated with small bushes or ground cover the outer side of the border / barrier so it looks neat, orderly and clean. If the placement is not appropriate shrubs and make it look narrower, the park will feel cramped, disorganized and losing the desired focus of the garden. In addition, these conditions will complicate the process of maintaining the grass.

5. Placing the Tree in the Middle Page Grass
Front garden ornaments serve as the main house when viewed from outer space. Site selection is expected to be planting trees fasade frame house design that looked more beautiful and comfortable. Usually the placement of trees in the middle of the lawn will be impressed by 'blocking' house. Moreover, if the plant is a large tree and the shade, will make a house become too dark. A good place is to put him on the side of the house. If you want shade, the shadow should fall in front of the house that adds a shady spot for the house. Even if really wanted, the placement of trees in front of the house should really be taken into account its impact on the design of the house and the house itself fasade.

6. Plant Too Close to Building
The narrow land sometimes becomes an obstacle in making the garden. Planting shrubs near the house wall is the most favorite thing to do. But the media placement and distance using the earnings are often not in accordance with the recommendation of planting should be. Save some space (about 10-15 cm) between the outer canopy of plants shrubs and walls of the building. Another concern is the planting of large trees close to the walls of the building. Beware of spreading root growth and can damage the walls of the building.

7. Bush Too High
If plants grow too tall in front of the house, will cover the windows and block the sunlight and air flow into the house. Note the position of the window, the direction of the wind and the height of adult plants at the park remained so beautiful without making the house became unwell. Choose plants that have a constant high or take some time to make the right cuts for the desired plant height.

8. Crop condition Ailing
In the annual cycle, there are times where the plants look unhealthy and chlorotic. Apart from climate change, the process of adaptation to environmental conditions of life are major factors. Chlorotic also can occur in less planting medium iron elements, because the soil is predominantly alkaline. Choose plants that fit with the existing soil type, and then do the proper fertilization and effective. If you are unsure, ask the expert recommendations of plants for plant species that will be used.

9. Scattered Light Plants Without Color Pattern
The presence of color in the garden will make the park more attractive, but if the presence of these colors spread without a good pattern, color accent does not affect taste effectively. Put plants with bright colors at some point so it is more visible. Then compare it with the same plant placement along the barrier construction, will feel the color impression is lost. Even if the settings are correct, the color of light on the garden can provide more benefits for the refreshment of mind and self motivation.

Small Garden Set

For those of you who have a minimalist garden should feature a few accents. With a small plot of land in front of the house and wanted to make it a garden, you can use some of the following ways.

To create a minimalist garden, there are several characteristics that need attention. Buildings generally minimalist story with geometric shapes or boxes. This forms the impression stuck firm and rigid. The presence of the park is expected to reduce the stiff impression.

with natural materials that are not too many, especially if the house has a large window. You certainly know the importance of oxygen in a house. The need for oxygen can be obtained from the photosynthesis of green plants. Therefore, multiply the green plants in the garden is minimalist. Oxygen can also be obtained from the element of water. Therefore, the present pool plus a waterfall or fountain, is the right step.

Many types of plants that inhabit the park suitable minimalist. Some of them, namely Linium Caladium, Calathea majestic with fresh green leaves, which often adorn the pool area.

For flowering plants, you also have much choice. You name it, flower peacock, Alamanda, trumpet, jasmine, and myrtle. Not only beautiful, yellow flowers are tiny but fragrant scent to your garden as well.

Not only ornamental plants. Fruit crops could you show the type of garden this one. But remember, do not plant any fruit.

Instead, select trees lean and vertical growth. Plants rose like a pillar candle or fir can also be decorating the garden.

Plants also can be planted in a pot to save the land. However, you should still look at how to set the pots. There 'formula' which you can apply the system or even an odd arrangement. "The system is odd, let the small size of the pot, place the pot slightly askew medium and rather large. That way, the shape of a triangle but not the same leg. You can also order a pot in the form of isosceles triangles, two small pots and a large size.

The Charming Little Garden

Residential petite nothing can now have the parts that used to house only synonymous with broad land. Includes a beautiful garden beautifully.

In the past, seldom has a small house gardens, especially beautiful, because he will be looking to make land more narrow and claustrophobic. Plus people who have a house with limited land confused, what is the appropriate crops planted there. In fact, as air circulation, making the garden does not always require extensive land.

Land measuring 2 x 3 meters can now be used as a beautiful garden and cool. Live how the concept of the park you want to adopt. All you need to remember is do not limit your gardening ideas only in plants. For a minimalist garden are usually located in a narrow land, not any decent plants and ornaments placed there.

I think, one of select plant will make the land look more narrow narrower. Because land was limited, usually about 2-6 square meters, home owners would want this minimalist garden can be arranged as optimal as possible.

Minimalist garden should feature natural accent with a material that is not too much, especially if the house has a large window.

In addition, aspects of health and comfort of residents is also very worth noting when creating a minimalist garden. You know not, minimalist narrow residential desperate need of oxygen supply? Well, the oxygen requirement can be obtained from the photosynthesis of green plants. Therefore, multiply the green plants in the garden is minimalist. Oxygen can also be obtained from the element of water. Therefore, the present pool plus a waterfall or fountain is an appropriate step.

Creating the garden is not always synonymous with a lot of plants and trees. Make a pond can become interesting concept. According , one of his landscape business owners, the pool of land suitable for narrow and elongated shape must not widen. Widening the pool makes the garden seem less broad. All around the pond, you can put different kinds of plants with different colors and sizes.

Given the vast land that can not, you could put these plants in pots. Besides it takes a lot of land, the use of pot is also more practical for move. To cover the surface of the ground, you can use the grass. It could also just cast a stone. In order to view the beautiful pond, you can add different accessories or ornaments garden fountain funny and unique designs.

Garden may be small ornaments and details of commonly used large houses. Garden ornaments such as statues, garden lamps, chairs, even the path can also be applied in your small garden. However, course design, size, and the setting is different with a big house ornaments.

Ornaments that you choose should be small, not too big, too long, or too wide, so you still have space to put other ornamentation without being full.

To create a minimalist garden, there are several characteristics that need attention. Buildings generally minimalist story with geometric shapes or boxes. This forms the impression stuck firm and rigid. Now, the presence of the garden is expected to reduce the stiff impression. Where should garden be minimalist? Very flexible. You can put it on the front, rear, corner, side, even in the house. If you liked the element of water, you could put a minimalist garden-themed water park in the front of the house.

If the garden was in the back of the house, make a more simple design. Avoid forms that resembles the mountain because it will foster a narrow sense. If you want to bring the grass, should select a small and delicate leaves like grass howl.

Another case for the minimalist garden are present in the house. Usually located at the end of the stairs. The right plants for the garden at the family home is a palm. Green leafy plants with slightly yellow tinge, Dracena fragrans, is also worthy of your choice.

But if we make a path with a tropical theme garden and we should naturally choose a natural.

The shape, material, size and a very affordable price we can get at the store or place that specializes in material path. Tips sizes to create a path square and rectangular in my experience is 40 × 40 cm, 50 × 50 cm, 60 × 60 cm, 40 × 60 cm, 50 × 70cm, 60 × 90 cm, 60 × 120 cm, and onwards. And for the distance between the step with one another between 9 to 12 cm, but should be about 10 cm.

Other forms such as oval or naturally also noteworthy for the size and material of the path. Adjust the path of material with rock elements that match the surrounding buildings. For the step spacing is way above my mantle. Many materials that we can choose. And one more tips, try the path you have created parallel to the surface of the soil or the lawn of our garden, so as not to interfere with user convenience.

Recognizing Land For Media Plant

Not all soil or planting media were fertile. Only land that contains certain elements which virtually infertile. Is it?

As the planting medium, soil provides the main factors for plant growth, they are nutrients, water, and air with its function as a mechanical support medium roots and soil temperature. All these factors must be balanced for good plant growth and sustainable.

Soil nutrients needed consist of macro elements (needed in large quantities) include N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S, and micro elements (needed in small amounts) include Fe, Mn, B, Mo, Cu , Zn, and Cl.

In addition to the content of macro and micro elements, the soil should also contain water. Power save water at a certain soil types will be different, it depends on the structure of the soil. What is required of good media is the type of soil that can store water but not excessive, according to the needs of the plant with any conditions of the season. In addition, the land also has a pH (acidity). Factors affect water availability soil acidity. Soil pH range for wet areas and the range is 5-7 for dry areas is 7-9. This also affects the selection of plant species. For wet areas (ph 5-7) select plants that can thrive in such a range of Ph. The same with the other ph.

It is also important is the content of the air. The presence of air in the soil will affect the density and the density of the soil structure. A healthy root development and the process of breathing air by the roots become a benchmark of whether or not aeration air at a certain soil structure.

Other, related to external factors such as the existence of the building structure, the existence of a severe type of weed, the presence of landslide-prone land, and other factors.

Balcony Garden

Many homes today are built up, it's strategy for limited land size. Even now, it is also angry with minimum built area of apartments green areas. But this is not a reason to not make or have in the garden house / apartment units. The balcony can be used as an area of small green areas and beauty. How?

Carefully Before Arranging
It is important to ask the parties to plan and build these buildings, whether the area that we are the lyrics to a balcony garden is strong enough to support the additional burden of the park or plant material. Similar to planning a roof garden, need also to take into account the maximum load that can be sustained by building the framework underneath.

Then the maintenance of maintenance is also important to note. Is the location accessible by water or fertilizer can be done or the addition of planting medium? All must be taken into account in the implementation of security maintenance.

Making outer space and privacy
With either set of plants that are planted directly in pots or hanging will form an outer space that can function as a family recreation room, or even the family's privacy. Placing the plants in a row can also serve as an effective windbreak. But this position should be noted that these plant stands firmly as a strong wind came. By providing a wide range bit, the wind pressure can be solved, so do not make a broken or uprooted plants.

Plants in containers more secure
In a fairly narrow location, sometimes in a container planting is the best option. Both in the manufacture planter or by placing a potted plant. It all depends with accessibility implementation.

For planting in the planter, to note how watering and disposal of flushing water left. If creative, home owners can take advantage of waste water for air conditioning plants and make flushing drain rain water into the channel. The point is not to create abundance and puddle on the deck or patio building of the house.

The placement of potted plants also need to be examined. Do not put heavy enough pot lane balcony less powerful prop load. The species used are resistant to sunlight, dry conditions in drought or very wet during the rainy season, as well as exposure to wind resistance.

As the plant collections
The location is relatively difficult to reach people from the outside, making this area is often a good place to put a collection of plants that cost quite expensive. Say popular species such as Anthurium, Aglonema , And Philodendron . Environmental conditions were adjusted to the balcony which is shaded and cool, but still good air circulation.

Also if there is no shade in the area, can put vegetable crops grown in the container. Age of their life cycle is relatively short, allowing us to grow crops with vegetable plants we want.

So, where and how was the location of the place, a small garden can be created. Is no exception with such a narrow area on the balcony or terrace buildings on the house.

3. Do not put plants in proximity to the source of heat generated from electronic equipment and kitchen equipment.

4. The air is too dry, humid, and stuffy due to many reasons can reduce plant fitness. Make sure the room has adequate ventilation.

Appliances that are efficient places and more durable. Unfortunately, the use of metal materials in all its parts, making a spiral staircase to look stiff and cold. View this certainly feels less unsightly.

Display can therefore be minimized, if you know how, by placing the plants in the vicinity. Rather than simply placing pots of plants, you might as well make a garden, in the area around the stairs.

This photograph could be one of inspiration. Area spiral staircase, surrounded by banana plants, and Tabebuya banana. Thus, our view would be diverted from the stiff and cold metal steps, toward the fresh green plants.

Small Garden Set

Each building must have an inch of vacant land. This small land will determine to increase your beauty home . Display a park certainly did not depend on the size and area of land. If done with care and a mature design, a small garden can beautify the home as a whole. There are various ways to impress a cute little garden and wonderful. Having a small garden at home is strongly recommended that in addition to beautify the face of the house will also be very good for the health and psychological.

Three things to note in gardening are:

First, if we have a limited area (narrow), one formula is not to have a desire to move other people into the park park itself. This is because people tend to want to have what has been a neighbor or someone else. Because our land is limited, make a small garden with various kinds of plants that are also small (stunted) this is to achieve a balanced proportion between the park with the facade of our house.

Second, what about the direction of sunlight, this will affect the lighting conditions with a selection of garden plants. If the park does not get enough sunlight, can select the type of plants that like shade (not really need the sun). Circulation direction of the sun is very important because it affects the process in plants fotosintetic in our garden.

Third, soil conditions and water absorption. To produce a good garden requires good soil conditions. Categorized fertile soil if high levels manure making it easier to absorb water. For big cities, usually less fertile soil conditions for the necessary treatment before make garden. Namely by mixing the soil with manure or compost.

To set up a tiny garden, there are two important elements that determine the soft (soft material) and hard elements (hard material).

Elements of this software consists of what types of plants we will plant. Are shrubs, vines (Alamanda cathartica), shade plants, flowering plants and ground cover plants (such as purslane, blue eyes, onion or grass). Noteworthy is the proportion of plants that are low to tall plants, so that looks interesting.

Water also include software elements which we often present in the park. With limitations of our land we can by making a small pond with a mini waterfall in the wall that had been transformed with rocks form a cliff park. This cliff park other than for aesthetic reasons also serve to hide the wall a massive house and slippery. In addition, as a way out if the soil conditions in our homes is very barren and infertile. The presence of water pools with a constant flow of cool air will add to the garden. To facilitate the required water circulation pump automatically so that water circulation is maintained. Gurgling sound of water will add to the atmosphere calm and quiet. To further highlight the natural nuances, it is useful plants equipped with water or with a special urn. Water plants like lotus, or water poppies will be able to release a loud impression presented by the rocks. To avoid a mosquito nest maintained a good idea too few fish placed in the pool.

While elements of hard rock, which is often used as a supporter of the beauty of the park. This natural stone slab with a form of irregular composition can serve as a path and will add a natural impression. Park did not always have a path, but this road serves as a circulation that allows us to explore the whole park without stepping on grass or soil. There are different types of natural stone selection in the market has to offer, live according to our tastes and pockets. The beauty of small gardens more complete if it is added to the sculpture as well as aesthetic ornaments garden lighting. In addition to the lighting, this lamp will make the park look dramatic at night. Aesthetic ornaments such as jars would also make a small garden look more attractive.
