Shoemaker in boots: a small garden, nursery landscape designers

They write that there is no landshaftnikov their gardens. Yes, because most professionals living in the city, such as having a summer residence, but as a season working on other people's sites, then to his hands are not getting through. But some designers live in the country - have always dreamed of living in the village. And the job is suitable - it is not necessary from 9 to 18.00 sit in the office, I woke up in the morning and you're in the office.
It was: abandoned portion area of 11 acres, a dilapidated wooden house hothouse cores, farm building and abundance rubbish both on site and in the home. Standard situation for abandoned land.
Dismantling of all things and trash cleaning left a month, with the "export" helped locals quickly orient on gratuitous firewood.
House decided to build about 120 m² (11 × 11 m), keynote - "simple / expensive / story". Implementation problems have arisen because the team worked on site (landscapers, read, wagons). Began in October, New Year holidays celebrated in a new building, on the readiness of the two rooms and bathrooms, trim ends in January.
It was.
More about the house can be found in video.
The garden is designed with the possibility of improvements in the process.

T. k. First, there was no special purpose, designed quite simple configuration, and then later added or removed some of the elements during the planting. All photos - next year after planting. The total is about the plan.
Flower beds.
Alexander and his wife often participate in various specialized exhibitions and festivals, so exhibits "migrate" to the site.
Arbor (Moscow Flower Show 2013). Solid polycarbonate (thickness: 2 mm) on metal sheets, bent factory method, but there are options cheaper construction.
Seagulls (Moscow Flower Show, in Central Park 2014).
There was a place in the yard and vegetable crops.
Instead of the compost pile, the pros - the compost box.
The tracks in the area in the garden and several kinds of granite dropout tennisita (ground brick with addition of clay) and wood - that there was diversity, and because of the materials made available and in stock was "full of wood." I turned and flooring (pine, treated with preservative for harsh environments and tinted impregnation).
And a la fixings (napilenny timber 100 × 100 mm, laid on a bed of crushed stone).
And filling tennisitom with edging the boards, but installed vertically (100 × 200 mm).
The idea was born spontaneously arrange nursery.

First, in the area we identified a lot of space under the lawn. Then came the understanding that 4 hundred lawn and do not need - mow, mow, and no one uses, well, children run about once a month and all. We want to plant herbs, but the solution came by itself - many herbs that we use in our work extremely hard to find in Russia and Europe. We order all the time, or will not, or not enough, or not the same condition. As a result, we decided to part to grow at plus experiment with fresh herbs and a portion of land allocated under the mini-nursery for cultures that cultivate and use in our projects. Here on such sectors broken landing.
On the site regularly something is altered, updated, added.
For anyone who decides to repeat - decoding landings.
1) Molina blue Molinia caerulea "Heidebraut (difference in height - age and planting density). 2) Molinia caerulea Molinia caerulea "Moorhexe" (podsohschie curtain transplanted recently). 3) Molinia caerulea Molinia caerulea "Edith Dudszus"
Beautiful garden can Zhukov also see.
Been achieved wife did not stop, and now the master has another virgin.

Moved to its 10 hectare in the Tula region. There will be nursery plants. While a guest house built in it and live. So far we have 90 acres - for individual housing construction and plans - 2-3 hectares at an exhibition garden of herbs. Nursery - 2-3 hectares, the rest ponder.
The company plans to open a new topic, and all the details in current discussions.

unfinished house was bought by a semi-abandoned buildings and land.Landscaping area began simultaneously with the reconstruction of the house... left side of the rear portion rustic garden, which, unfortunately, later cut down, is now a vacant lot in bad condition. Immediately came the idea to make the garden area behind the line hozbloka. They appealed to the surveyors and found that between our border and agricultural land is a piece of urban land. We did well, officially, is not free and not fast, drawn up on yourself. As a result of land to be a rather unusual shape, it suits us. Experience of Landscape Design got even at his dacha: know some ornamental plants like our climate (Minsk), and how to care for them.
site plan developed independently, Sketchap program.
The plot with a slope, so reinforced curbs for tracks of gabions, and retaining walls are the same. Sami track, like a blind area from the drop-out rate, in steps. A small landscape composition of conifer - pyramidal arborvitae, juniper, cypress, saxifrage.
Garden area from the kitchen garden and lawn visually partitioned off by hedges of colored physocarpus (first season).
The view from the windows of the second floor.
Garden. A bed in a wooden frame temporarily, it replaces the wood more durable material in the future.
Hedge (second season).
on a site with views of the roof.
The bulk of the work on the landscaping is complete, but the essence of the process in its infinity - you can always find what to improve.

At the moment, it made 80 percent improvement. But constantly perfected all sorts of composition (the Brownian motion of the plant on a site).

Share your results, ideas were born on the spot, do not judge strictly. A lot of things I want to still bring in subsequent seasons (beginning of season 2014) and proceed to the arrangement of the second part of the yard, in what is now experiencing difficulties in planning, can someone tell me.
How it all began.
But how to proceed.
Under the statue waterfall - stream comes from the four points.
tips in his subjectosv81 I did not wait, but without them coped well. One of the main problems in the landscape design is its vitality. Even without a plan and "help room" craftsman has created not only beautiful, but durable garden.
Season 2017.
Season 2018.

Plants planted on a whim, about imagining how it will look like over time. I planted a lot of things: and yucca, and irises, and stonecrops and alpine carnations, baby's breath and creeping, and Ajuga reptans, and saxifrage. Also - different hosts, lobeline, Cineraria, ferns, saxifrage-tunic Aubrieta, barberry, woolly Stachys, Trumpet, clematis and others. Plus coniferous different species brought from Adler and Lazorevskoy.
Well, if there is theoretical knowledge, practical experience and skills to work in the graphic editors, but as you can see, if you wish, you can create a cozy corner and "out of my head," and on the piece of land.
Useful information on the topic of improvement area gathered at the forum in a thread about landscape design. Vacationing with friends, who are concerned by the fragrant smell of meat on the fire, and you can Grill houses. A brazier usual alternative may well be tandoor.
