Almost every citizen dreams of a comfortable weekend in the countryside. And if everything is in order with the decoration of the facade and interior, then you need to think about transforming the space of the yard. Currently, there are many ways to equip a personal plot, the ideas of landscape design are inexhaustible. But there are certain restrictions imposed, first of all, by nature itself, the amount available for cultivating the land and the financial possibilities of homeowners.

In this publication, we suggest you familiarize yourself with the landscape design project of one private house. Perhaps this sophisticated, thought out to the smallest and most elegant approach to organizing a personal plot will be an inspiration for your accomplishments in the field of landscape design.

Starting to develop a concept on which the design of the courtyard of a country house will be based, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account the style of the building itself. And also take note of the finishing materials that were used to process the surfaces of the facade of the mansion. And, of course, take into account the features of topography, soil composition, the presence or absence of groundwater, slopes, depressions on the site.

The presented landscape design is literally saturated with the traditions of oriental techniques for arranging street space, but at the same time does not lose its own identity. Clarity of lines, rationality and practicality are in harmony with the beauty of nature.

Smooth paths made of concrete and stone slabs not only allow you to get to different parts of the yard, bypassing the perfect lawn, but also allow you to zone the space. The neighborhood of stone with water is the main ideological concept of this method of arranging land near the house.

Small ponds or vessels with water, stylized as mini-fountains are present in several areas of the courtyard. The presence of smooth pebble stones near the water is no coincidence, because such ideas come from nature itself.

Near small ponds, places for relaxation are necessarily provided. Small wooden benches in warm shades of reddish brown look great against the background of many shades of gray.

The presence of large unprocessed stones allows the general mood of the site to merge even more with nature.

Various greens are present everywhere. Depending on the location in relation to the sun, plants can be planted even in the most shaded and damp places. It is important only to correctly determine the varieties.

It is much easier to obey nature and try to match its features, choosing one or another place depending on the landscape and soil composition. Small ponds will perfectly fit in the ditches and hollows, and the small slopes can be turned into neat alpine slides by adding stones and planting several plants.

The large pond on the site is the very embodiment of zen. The imitation of a waterfall, water lilies in the water and a bridge that seemed to freeze in the air through a mini-pond create a feeling of fabulous calm.

Stepping on such a bridge creates the feeling of walking on water. In the outdoor recreation area, equipped with two comfortable trestle beds and a small table, you can relax and sunbathe.

At night, all paths and stairs are highlighted for safety and to give the courtyard a magical appearance.

There are several recreation areas on the site, one of them is a dining area, located under a canopy. A meal in the fresh air, surrounded by the beauties of nature - a truly luxurious vacation.

Ample space allows you to place several people at the table during the day, and in the evening you can gather friends for a party in the fresh air.

Another outdoor recreation area is located near the entrance to the house. You can get to a small area with wooden furniture on the deck adjacent to the mansion building.

The main relaxation area with upholstered furniture is designed in the spirit of Asian design. Simplicity, convenience, conciseness and comfort - the basis of Japanese style.

This luxurious corner with a working and dining kitchen area is surrounded by a system of small pools with lighting. Convenient and rationally designed place of the working area, allows you to cook food in the open air and immediately feast on it.
