Border: cheap and nice

The first is a private villa flips outlook - we become creators, builders, those who still improves and beautifies.

Suomi (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

What is most interesting, the parents had a lifetime giving, me there was no drag, and when it appeared his, would have dug it, I see a spade, already shaking.

And now we want to do is not just a bed and not just flower beds, and nice beds and flower beds, borders and the question arises in full growth. How to make a border that it was durable, practical and beautiful? Let's see what they think about the participants and experts FORUMHOUSE.

Borders made of wood and stone

Participant our portal Vera Mironova (on FORUMHOUSE she talks under the nickname Santolia) - a practicing landscape designer. She irreconcilable opponent of finished plastic borders, argues that it is not only ugly, but also impractical. Better to cut strips of old linoleum - they interfere with planting spread on the lawn.

Santolia (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

Do not throw away money! This plastic is too expensive, instead, under the ground can be put strips of old linoleum.

To protect small beds or beds Faith recommends material, which lined the house was completed. Thus, the border will become an element of landscape design that combines house and garden into a single whole.

Santolia:

If you have a house facing the tree is present, it is best to use a tree.

For example, the border can be drawn from the pegs (available pegs of varying heights, but you can do it yourself).

Pegs are made of old felled branches or small trees Stalks. At the curb, they can be of different diameters, but the same length - 25-30 cm. Along the perimeter of the flower bed is dug transheyka depth of 10-15 cm, the pegs are driven into it hammer close to each other, covered with earth and compacted.

You can also make a low fence.

Or put in a series of 2-3 thin trunks of trees. Such curbs look good, but you can make them practically free from the material at hand.

Borders made of wood are considered to be short-lived, but the battery life can be prolonged for a long time. To do this, remove the bark from Stalks and treated them with antiseptic. The inside curb paving film, to save him from direct contact with the ground.

Santolia:

This border will be on a very long time!

If the house is lined with stone plinth, for the flower beds and beds can make a stone frieze.

Stone is very good in landscape designBut here it is in moderation. Designers are advised: do not abuse the stone, and not only for the borders, but also in the garden.

Another design method - to make borders, given the material from which the house is not made, and garden paths. Must curb or repeat tracks, or, on the contrary, emphasized contrast with them.

How to make a border of bricks

If you do not like any of these options, santolia recommends another: to limit the flower bed or a bed of sand cushion on them on a solution in 2-3 rows of old brick laid. Because the most important thing in our project - low cost and the ability to live another life to old materials, it is best if the brick is an old, used, bought for a penny or comes for free. Wide bricks can be put on an edge. If still lay between the beds, beds of non-woven fabric and pour on top of the bark, gravel or gravel, then it will look cool. If you have the desire and time, brick can be painted any proof paint.

Green and inconspicuous curb edging

If there is no big threat "spread" of plants from the flower beds on the lawn, it makes sense to just put on its borders pochvpokrovniki that can be mowed. Sometimes this "garden without barriers" looks even better.

A good solution in order to separate the lawn and flower garden will be a simple galvanized sheet. Purchases, cut into strips of 20 cm width and digged into the ground. This option is recommended member of our portal OLGA31. However, if you come to the edge of the fence will not find it, but you can make it safer.

OLGA31 (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

My version - to fold the edge of the sheet previously laid a solid wire 0.5 cm.

However, often without flower beds do not visible fence. Even a small, symbolic fencing is a signal in itself that can not pass on. It is well understood, for example, small children who are usually during rush games, aimlessly. In this case, it will help even here such a barrier.

Tsvetik (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

Cool fence for flower beds and flower beds.

The second life of plastic

No matter what the designers normal borders can be made of plastic - do not buy ready-made, but using what is left of the repair, for example.

Thus, a participant FORUMHOUSE Natalie ^ ^ Wheelbarrows made from plastic panels residues, which trimmed the loggia.

^ ^ Natalie (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

Cool happened: wash well, you can pick the color you want, there are a lot of different fasteners and corners for connections, and aesthetically pleasing.

you can do border and from plastic bottles of 1.5 - 2 liters. The bottles are filled with the ground at the neck, and then the land is still watered for sealing. Along the edges of beds or clubs dig the groove depth of about 10 cm, set the bottles down, buried in the ground, you do not mind, rammed. Such fencing cheap, easy to manufacture, durable, do not cut yourself on it. It does not decompose at all sorts of malicious mischief. And oddly enough, this "fence" can actually look good.

Valucha (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

We have one of the suburban areas neighbor picked up bottles of different colors (brown, green and white), and made a fence toned flowerbeds. Sometimes even with the height varied: he took liter and two-liter bottles.

stamped curbs

dreamer for the flower garden fence made of tiles that are embedded in the purchase mold.

Dreamer (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

The result cement fence about 25 cm in height, between the tiles. 2-3 tiles made slit and cemented cobbles. It turned out something like a wall of an ancient castle.

Purchase mold can be replaced with plastic packaging of all: cakes, pastries, cheese, etc., as does the member of our portal DragSer. Molds is filled with a mixture of cement and sand as needed reinforcement for rigidity. To better tiles falling out of shape, it lubricates waste oil.

DragSer (User FORUMHOUSE):

Over the weekend, poured concrete for 3-5 centimeters. The following weekend shakes.

dreamer:

You need to consider what made tiles. If the decor - curbs beds, beds, etc. - the solution may be prepared from a mixture of sand, cement 3: 1 or 4: 1. If the tiles do for tracks, the combination of sand-cement should be 2: 1, at least 2.5: 1.
