How to improve your site
- First of all, it is necessary to remove all construction debris from the territory, as well as various foreign objects.
- Natural plantings and bushes can be left if necessary, but if you want to radically change the appearance of the site, then they too need to be cut off.It is important to consider that trees should be removed along with the root system, since after some time the reproductive properties of the trees can destroy the newly created landscape.
- After all natural obstacles have been removed, it is necessary to outline the locations of future buildings (such as gazebos, benches, etc.), as well as the paths to them.
- As a rule, paths are laid out with gravel or crushed stone, since this material perfectly absorbs moisture and prevents weed growth, however, paving slabs can also be used. At this stage, outbuildings and light lean-to structures for recreation are also being erected.
- After that, all debris is removed from the territory again and now you can proceed directly to improving the landscape itself.
DIY landscaping
Of course, the most convenient and simplest way to landscape the area near buildings is to simply sow the entire area with lawn grass. However, there are also disadvantages here. Firstly, the area will look “bare” and uncomfortable, and secondly, it will lose its individuality.
The most acceptable and least expensive way to avoid this are ordinary flower beds or flower beds. As a rule, all varieties of special ornamental plants are designed specifically for growing them in outdoor conditions, and therefore easily tolerate any temperature changes and other climatic factors. Flowers or bushy low-growing plants are perfect for decorating paths, gazebos, and you can also create all sorts of thematic designs from them.
Irezine: the ideal type of plants for a personal plot
An ideal option when choosing ornamental plants to decorate lawns near paths would be a special type of southern tropical plants - irezine. This plant, although originally from Colombia, is perfect for planting in the Central European climate.
It should be borne in mind that today there are only about eighty varieties of this plant, both indoor varieties and those intended for planting in open ground. The plant itself looks like lush bushes consisting of reddish flowers. Moreover, their height reaches 30-40 cm, which gives the planting site a very aesthetic appearance.
Advantages of using irezine for landscape design
The main advantages of irezine when using the plant to decorate the design of your personal plot can be called:
- unpretentiousness to soils. Irezine can feel comfortable both on sandstones and on peat-podzolic soils
- plants are perennial; for this reason, a once planted flower garden does not require annual replanting
- irezine, intended for planting in open ground, are usually propagated by cuttings, so you do not have to carry out additional work to restore the required flowerbed pattern, as well as to destroy excess shoots
- the colorful and bright appearance of the plants will give a festive color to your site and will continue to delight you for a long period
Caring for rubber tires
It should be noted that irezines are very unpretentious in caring for their shoots, however, in order for lush and beautiful plants to really grow on your site, you must follow some essential rules:
- Try to plant irezine only in good illuminated places, where access to sunlight will be maintained constantly during daylight hours. Irezine are southern plants, so sunlight is a necessary condition for the formation of healthy and strong shoots. By the way, it is for this reason that plants are not recommended to be planted under tree canopies or in the shady side of the house.
- Watering irezine must be done with soft water, preferably at ambient temperature. Rain water collected during a rainstorm is perfect for this purpose. Watering is carried out in accordance with weather conditions - at an average daily temperature of 25-30 degrees, water the plant 3-4 times a week. If the temperature drops below 16 degrees, then watering is carried out less frequently. It is worth noting that in conditions of an average climate zone with regular rainfall, artificial irrigation may not be carried out at all.
- To give the irezina a lush crown, the plants must be “plucked” - this is what professional gardeners call removing small and frequent shoots. However, this procedure should be carried out no more than once a year.
Irezine will become real decorating your garden plot, since this variety of shrubs has all the necessary properties to create a unique design in the local area, and the plant is unpretentious and has a very impressive appearance.
