Transforming the area around your home can be a daunting task. Building a gazebo and purchasing a few trees does not mean equipping the space. The beautiful affordable LS design of a country house, as we can see in various photo galleries, is a whole system of interconnected and functional areas connected by paths and paths. It is important not only to choose the right style of decoration, but also to place buildings, flower beds, fences and resting areas, think over lighting, supply and drainage of water, provide for the correct arrangement of plants, taking into account their needs, fence everything in tune with the facade with a fence. To do this, you need to develop a detailed project or seek help from specialists.

Functional areas

In advance, you need to think over all the components of the yard: visually assume where will be the most convenient location for the gazebo and barbecue, swing, pool, fountains, terraces, on the plan designate the planting points of horticultural crops, hotbeds and greenhouses, make water pipelines to them.

You should carefully study the climatic features of the area and the location relative to parts of the world. Beds, vegetable gardens and flower beds should be provided on the sunny side, while shade is acceptable for the lawn.

If you are a lover of active pastime, you need to allocate a place for a tennis or football field, basketball rings. If children live in the building, a sandbox and a playground will become a necessary component. All functional areas should be harmoniously located, not interfering with each other, be connected by convenient paths or a green lawn. The plantings are planned in such a way as to create the shade necessary for the resting places, not to interfere with the growth of vegetables and flowers that need an abundance of sunlight. Terraces and areas need to be illuminated.

 

Paths and platforms

Paved paths make travel comfortable and safe. They connect the auxiliary premises and the house, as well as all areas of the local area. Practical paths are simply irreplaceable in wet and rainy weather. The material for their arrangement is determined based on the style of the interior:

. Classic assumes even, placed at the same level and height, stone or concrete slabs, evenly laid and connected to
each other.

. The romantic Mediterranean current allows for a combination of various components: stone, pebbles, mosaics.

. Rustic country and Provence allow you to lay out paths with wooden circles, cover them with pine bark or leave them lawn.

Fencing

Beautiful ideas for affordable LS design of a country house, as can be seen in numerous photos, are not complete without a decent fencing of the site. The fence is not only determined by the required height. It can be a solid structure, with massive gates and a wicket, capable of reliably protecting against any intrusion, a small parapet symbolically dividing the beds or a fence, bearing a purely decorative character, to form internal zones.

The second selection criterion is the general stylistic orientation of the main building and the adjoining area. The material of manufacture should match as much as possible with the finish of the facade of the building and the laid out paths.

. Brick and masonry in combination with forged elements will perfectly complement the classic or English style.

. A wooden fence made of balusters or ready-made sections is suitable for ennobling territories in the course of Provence and country, Scandinavian direction.

. A wicker fence made of bamboo or willow will protect a small summer cottage.

. The option of corrugated board, various plastic partitions and an abundance of iron already breathe modernity and minimalism.

. If the classic fence options are not suitable to complete the big picture, choose a natural design: vertical climbing shrubs, edged conifers, etc.
