Features of landscape design of a plot of 30 acres

A plot of 30 acres is considered a fairly large territory on which you can build the structures necessary for everyday life, implement new landscape design, break several beds for berry and vegetable crops, and plant a small alley of fruit trees. The features of the landscape design of such a site will be discussed in our article.

The end result of landscape design depends on the thoroughness of the preparatory manipulations carried out. First of all, it is necessary to inspect the terrain, relief, soil quality, to understand the peculiarities of the climate and the position of the site relative to the cardinal points. It happens that for these purposes drainage and the availability of technical documentation are required. After all the information about the territory has been collected, the creation of the plan begins.

The house should be the focal point. The rest of the buildings are grouped around it, depending on their purpose. The gazebo and barbecue area will be in close proximity to the residential building, the garden area - next to the utility, where the installation of a clothes dryer and garbage cans is provided. A playground for sports and children's games should be installed in a shaded area, berries and fruit trees - in the southern part of the site.

The length of each zone depends on the wishes of the owner. If you are considering a plot of 30 acres as a country cottage, a resting place, then you will not need a large vegetable garden with vegetables. If you are an amateur gardener, then some buildings (for example, a pool) can be excluded, giving more space to flowers and fruit crops.

In order for the design of 30 acres of land to look spectacular, fruit trees must be planted in the foreground. In the spring, during flowering, they will look very beautiful. In addition, the trees will get the maximum solar heat, which means that the seedlings will grow well and bring a rich harvest.

It is better to place vegetable beds at the back of the house, in a place invisible from the front side of the facade. It is recommended to plant berry bushes around the entire perimeter of the garden. So the territory of the long section will be framed.

If you are not a big fan of the garden, but want to use the territory for recreation, it would be appropriate to place the following objects on it:

• bath;
• pool (stationary concrete or portable inflatable);
• a gazebo with a hammock;

• sports ground (tennis court);
• barbecue (it is necessary to lay paths to this area, decorate the resting place with pebbles or tiles);
• workshop;

• economic zone;
• playground;
• pond or stream;
• a garage with a shed that will protect the car from rain and scorching sunlight if you don't drive it into the garage.

The territory of the site should be not only beautiful, but also functional. To navigate comfortably along it, you need tracks. They can be made from old trees, pebbles, tiles. It all depends on your imagination and financial capabilities.

The paths should be winding, scattered throughout the site, but have common intersections. Then the landscape will sparkle with unusual colors.

You can choose the most different material for the tracks:

• concrete (inexpensive and durable material that does not require maintenance);
• brick (brick in red looks very nice);

• wood (the cheapest, but short-lived coating);
• screening (the main disadvantage is weeds).

An important factor when creating a design for a plot of 30 acres is equipping it with a good irrigation system. The beauty of green spaces and, accordingly, the entire territory depends on the correctness of the installed equipment. So that watering numerous flower beds, bush trees, lawns is not exhausting, especially on hot days, it is better to install a stationary irrigation system.

All related accessories (hoses) must be placed along the paths so that they are inconspicuous or buried.

When the project of the site is ready, the locations of the objects are known, the types of plants and their planting sites have been selected, you can start choosing decorations for the garden: these can be hedgehogs that have settled against the background of juniper trees and Christmas trees, a heron standing near a pond, or frogs. Specialized stores offer a wide range of similar products.

Decorative figures are quite expensive, so you can try to make jewelry with your own hands. A wattle fence with old clay pots against a background of tall sunflowers will look original. Alpine hills, flower beds in unusual flowerpots - all this will give the site brightness and uniqueness.

When all the planning stages have been approved, the smallest details have been taken into account, it is necessary to decide on the style of the territory design. 30 acres is a large area that makes it possible to combine different stylistic directions. The most popular style for long sections is the classic one, with strictly geometric shapes inherent in it. However, it interacts well and is complemented by designs in English, Oriental and French styles.

The following can be used as decorative elements:

• small ponds with bridges;
• alpine slides;

• hedges;
• hanging gardens;
• fountains;

• sculptures;
• arches.

You can create a beautiful landscape design by contacting the services of specialists in this field. They will create an original design of the territory, plant it with exotic plants, equip a pond with decorative fish and break comfortable paths. However, it is always more interesting to design the appearance of the future adjoining territory ourselves.
