Choosing lawn fences

The beautifully designed garden is admirable. Usually, in such areas, each tree and bush has its own place; lawns and flower beds are always present here. But any composition must be complete. Therefore, for these purposes, we will definitely choose lawn fences.

Lawn fences for flower beds are of great importance in the design of the territory. Otherwise, the grass, flowers, other plants will grow as they please. This will create chaos, and you can forget about creating a single, and even more so stylish composition. The garden plot will lose its attractiveness, which means that the inspiration for its design and improvement will disappear. Therefore, the dividing element is a prerequisite for a well-kept garden.

The materials from which such fences are made can be very different - stone, brick, iron pipes, plastic parts, concrete. And there are also many improvised means that gardeners use, but here it all depends on imagination.

Before making certain fences, you need to draw a general plan for yourself on paper, draw what and how you plan to fence, what materials will be used. And you should also calculate how much material is required, and buy the required amount with a small margin in case something does not go according to the intended scenario.

It is very important that any fence - for an artificial turf or flower bed, just a path or a composition - corresponded to the general concept and style. Otherwise, harmony cannot be achieved. But the garden with its paths, plants, flowers, lawns is a wonderful place for rest and relaxation.

When choosing a material, you need to consider how well it will fit into the overall idea, whether it will be easy to work with it, and what is its cost.

This option can be easily installed by any gardener. Plastic fences are flexible structures that are sold in rolls. Due to the plasticity of the products, it is possible to shield any areas of complex configuration with various roundings and waves.

If you just need to fence the vegetable beds, you can purchase brown or green plastic.

For decorative elements when creating flower beds, you can choose any color. In large hardware and garden stores, there are enough shade options.

The plastic border has many advantages:

• very simple and quick to install;
• takes any form;
• easy to cut into separate elements;
• light weight provides convenience for transportation;
• a wide range of colors allows you to choose the desired option;
• it can also be removed and then restored again.

But there are also disadvantages to plastic. It is not very durable, over time there is a risk of structural breakdown. In addition, exposure to rain and sun may make it look less attractive over time. But all this is not so critical, given the fact that these structures are inexpensive, which means that replacing them will not pose any particular problems.

Besides, there are other options for plastic fencing. It can be a constructor in the form of bright plates that are easy to assemble and represent a fence.These plastic planks can also mimic wood or stone surfaces.

There is also a plastic fence for sale, consisting of separate elements. You can always buy the required number of fragments and fence off a garden bed, flower bed or lawn.

Welded structures require some training and specialized tools. If you have a welding machine, then it is easy to build a fence from a shaped pipe by welding all the elements to each other. But again, it is worth considering for what purpose the aluminum fence serves - whether it will be flower beds, beds, lawn.

Forged products look very elegant and always advantageous. But here you will have to spend money, since it is better to entrust such design elements for the garden to the hands of professionals.

Metal structures have a number of advantages:

• these are reliable fences;
• have a rather attractive appearance;
• will last a long time;
• they can always be updated by simply painting them with paint.

But at the same time, there is only one drawback - it will not be possible to make such a structure yourself, you will have to contact specialists and incur additional costs.

A low border for paths, flower beds, beds can easily be made by yourself. It will only be necessary to pre-dig a trench at the planned site, build a formwork, and then pour concrete mortar there. It is prepared from a dry mixture, which is sold in any hardware store. All dilution proportions are usually indicated on the package. When the solution is poured, you need to let it dry, it will take at least 2 days. The periodically drying structure must be watered with water. Then the concrete will dry efficiently and will not crack.

With the help of concrete structures, you can easily divide the beds, arrange flower beds of different configurations. You can set the required height. Concrete is not subject to environmental influences, it is quite durable. All this makes it popular when choosing to perform these works. Someone may not be satisfied with the insufficiently aesthetic appearance. But this is easily fixable - the fences can be painted in any color. But if concrete is used for fencing flower beds, then flowers in themselves will be a worthy decoration, and in this case, a frame made of concrete will come in handy.

Such fences can be made independently from a bar, logs, planks, slats. There are many options. It all depends on the general design of the site and on what exactly is planned to be protected. In order for wooden fences to last longer and not lose their appearance, they must be covered with a special impregnation that protects against moisture, mold and mildew. This is especially true of the part of the fence that will be in the ground. Otherwise, the fence will quickly become unusable.

Besides, the fence can be painted in any color or simply varnished. You can show your imagination and, if you have the skills to work with wood, build some interesting structure. For example, make a fence in the form of colored pencils. If these are beds, you can make them of an interesting shape - in the form of rhombuses, squares, triangles.

Flexible curb is convenient in different situations, for example, when:

• delimitation of zones;
• arrangement of flower garden fences;
• the design of various tracks;
• protecting the beds from excess water.

Roll material is easy to place anywhere and delimit any space. If the area is too large, and the rubber band does not hold its shape, you can additionally use pins to help hold the structure in the desired position.

A flexible curb can be made very quickly without the help of specialists. This is a cheap and easy way to delimit zones on a site, but you shouldn't expect much beauty from such a fence. Here the emphasis should be on exactly what is behind the curb: paths with different fillings, flowers, herbs.

Quite a common option for decorating flower beds and lawns. Designs can be of different colors, configurations and sizes. These can be products of rectangular, round, square shape. With the help of such blocks, you can arrange low and high flower beds, round and square, large and small.

You can lay it yourself, fixing it with cement mortar. You will have to spend money on a curbstone, but such a structure will last a long time and will not lose its appearance. With the help of such products, you can plan the construction of solid flower beds.

But the materials are not limited to this. Fences can be very diverse and unexpected.

• Looks good in some cases with certain styles of vine fencing. The rods are harvested in the spring. Stakes are driven in along the perimeter, and then the fences themselves are weaved. Since the material is susceptible to moisture, it cannot be called durable.
• Tires are a common option in garden plots. Each tire can be cut in two and placed vertically or horizontally. When placed vertically, these will be high fences, and when placed horizontally, you can compose a composition, for example, in the form of a flower. Cutting into even smaller fragments, you can make fences of any configuration. These curbs can be painted in any color.
• Another budget option is to make a fencing out of plastic bottles. They can also be painted in any color. Glass products are also used for the same purposes. You just need to keep in mind that such a structure can be easily broken if handled carelessly.
• In addition, the remnants of building materials are used, creating structures from them. These can be the remains of bricks, slate, ceramic tiles, mosaics.
• An interesting option can be dug grooves around the entire perimeter of the fenced area. The grooves are filled with bark. Such a border is called English. This zoning looks very impressive. You need to take care of the curb, remove germinating weeds in time, add filling.

There are quite a few options for fences. To choose the right type, you need to take into account the characteristics of the site, the style of design and the functions that the fencing will perform.

• Installing a lawn curb involves low options, so flexible tape will do. The English border will also look harmonious.
• For flower beds, curbs, concrete, and forged products can be suitable. The height of the fence depends on the size of the flowers.
• If you want to get a budget option, you can also use improvised means, such as tires, bottles.
• For the beds, you can choose wooden fences, having previously processed and painted them.
• If there are many stone paths, bricks on the site, it is better to adhere to the same style and choose a curb stone for decoration.
• Provided that most of the buildings are wooden, you can also equip fences in the form of small beautiful wooden fences. You can also choose a braided version.

When developing the design of your site, you need to prepare sketches and decide what fences will be, focusing on what grows in front of the house - roses, lilies or petunias. In many cases, people make fences in their yards so that the flower beds have a logical conclusion. But you can always start from ready-made examples:

• forged fences look beautiful and elegant, unobtrusively complementing any composition;

• for a large flower bed with a variety of flowers, a low plastic fence is suitable;

• always an interesting and stylish option can be created from a curb stone;

• wooden fences can look original, beautiful and very harmonious.
