Decorating the garden with your own hands

Every person has a dream. Some want to go abroad, others want to buy a car. And I dream of turning my home garden into a small paradise. In it you can forget all the worries and sorrows, enjoy the beauty of flowers and the smell of mown grass. Decorating the garden with your own hands gives vent to fantasy and allows you to use the remains of building material.

Unexpected things find new uses. Now the old kettle turned into an original flower bed, and the old bowls became hats of mushrooms on the lawn. If you have your piece of land, but it looks sad and unattractive, then I suggest to consider various options how to decorate a garden plot with your own hands.

We will begin our journey with fences and gates. In order to hide from prying eyes and reduce the amount of dust and noise in the garden, it is not necessary to install a deaf and high fence. It is enough to plant a hedge, using for it both evergreen and flowering plants. Shrub will help not only to show the boundaries of the site, but also to divide its area into the necessary zones, disguise the farm buildings and create shady corners for recreation.

Decorating the garden with their own hands necessarily involves the arrangement of comfortable paths. For them, the remains of brick or tile, sand or chopped bark are perfect. You can buy a special form and use it to make curly tiles, pouring the prepared mortar in place.

For those who do not have experience in construction, I advise you to spill the paths out of the rubble. It's very simple and fast. In addition to rubble, you will need the remains of an old film or roofing material. They need to be laid on the ground to prevent growth on the weed path. For fencing use boards, brick or natural stone. Very beautiful look curves crooked form, giving a special charm to the site.

Do not forget about flowers - it's a beautiful garden decoration. With your hands lay the flower beds along the paths, fill them with nutrient ground and plant the prepared seedlings. Preliminarily should be picked up plants that will bloom at different times, so that your flowerbed would rejoice the entire summer season.

The next stage will be the arrangement of fixtures, which will make accents in the dark. We need to take care of the lighting of the paths and the porch. Place several lamps in flowerbeds and near an artificial pond. It is enough to hang a garland of glowing butterflies on a bush to make your garden transformed. Decorating the garden with your own hands with the help of light effects is a very fascinating activity. By changing the direction of the beam or rearranging the lamp to another location, you can completely transform the plot.

When finished with a hedge, paths, flower beds and light, you can arrange various decorative figures. Modern garden centers and flower shops offer a wide range of sculptures and small figures for the site. Of course, you can buy everything you need. But it is much more interesting to make an ornament for the garden with your own hands.

If you have a stump on the site and you think how to get rid of it, then turn it into a flower bed or make it a podium for a decorative squirrel. A flock of birds in this place will look no less attractive.

Do you dream of resting on the sea, but there is no way to go on a trip? Scroll to rest a small area and fill it with sand. Install a chaise longue, and next to it, place several palms made of plastic bottles. If an artificial pond is located next to such a site , even a small one, and in the evening, it will be lit by a garland, then you will become a happy owner of your own small piece of the sea coast.
