Landscaping your backyard sometimes just requires an idea, which may not always cost a lot. Designers offer many ingenious and simple ideas for territory design. You just need to choose the appropriate option for your home.
Original paving
An excellent solution would be non-standard paving of the internal territory. You can create a small patio, islands of tiles around flower beds, a veranda or a swing. Here, paved areas perform 2 functions: aesthetics and zoning.
Creating a stream
If you have a problem area that is often flooded with underwater water, creating a stream would be an ideal option. Let the problem become the highlight of the landscape design. The edges must be protected with large stones and moisture-loving plants.
Decorate a high terrace.
If, when going out onto the terrace, unsightly high supports are visible, designers suggest covering them with tall shrubs and flowers. It is better to choose perennials: sedum, Black-eyed Susan and lush ornamental grasses.
Podium
You can decorate the backyard of a private house by creating a podium. A living curtain of tall tropical grasses and plants will add height and dimension to a small area.
Decoration of the main entrance
Many people wonder how to decorate their backyard. An overgrown path or rusty gate will spoil the impression. A luxurious pavilion made of wood or other materials will add sophistication to the entire area. If you plant climbing roses at the entrance, they will give fragrance and a beautiful appearance.
Private area with curtains
For a secluded corner, you can make a terrace, gazebo, or patio. Waterproof thick curtains will provide excellent protection from scorching sun rays, wind and prying eyes. For example, bright orange curtains and chair cushions of the same shade will create a great mood.
Change an unsightly landscape.
An original corner made of a high wooden lattice will help to cover up neighbours or an unsightly view (post). It is easy to entwine it with climbing plants or plant a tall, spreading tree.
You can install here a couple of armchairs with soft cushions and a coffee table, with their backs facing the pillar. Surround the shady corner with flowers.
Patio below
Sometimes, the site is on a slope, and the best option would be to dig up part of the territory for a private recreation area. You can decorate your backyard design with a small patio.
To make it look elegant and voluminous, it is recommended to lower the level. Make a semicircle out of a brick wall to prevent the slope from collapsing. Lay it out with stones and tiles on the floor. Metal or wicker furniture would be a good solution.
Pond with sky reflection
The long courtyard seems very large. Designers propose making a small pond out of stone, where water lilies and other plants float. It is effective to use a black lining for the bottom to better reflect the sky or floating clouds in the water.
You can admire it nearby on a soft sofa and armchairs or plant multi-tiered plants around the perimeter of the yard to add volume to the area.
Multipurpose yard
The most successful courtyards with multiple purposes. This could be a patio on a stone floor with a fire pit and a terrace above the house. This is used effectively in small yards.
Pergola or gazebo
A pergola or gazebo will help create an elegant entrance to the backyard. When planning, autonomous elements look more impressive.
If you have chosen a metal gazebo for the recreation area, weaving grapes or roses will look beautiful. If there is a high fence nearby, you can decorate it with vertical plants, creating a tent of luxurious greenery.
