The easiest way to start landscaping a summer cottage with your own hands is with flowers. When creating flower beds, it is important to pay attention to the color scheme used. Flowers can be planted both in the form of flower beds and in the form of a border. At the discretion of the owner, perennial or annual plants, as well as decorative herbaceous plants and flowers varying in height. We described what flower beds are and how to arrange them correctly in separate thematic articles. Today we are talking specifically about ideas for garden styling.
Plants and flowers planted along the lawn and forming a flowering border will look appropriate. The center of a lush, bright lawn can be decorated with a flower bed with colorful plants different heights. There are a lot of options for designing flower beds! You can frame them with a wooden fence or picturesque stones, make a fence from plastic bottles, sow the edges with ornamental plants or decorate with wooden cuts. Even unnecessary household items and a wide variety of improvised devices are suitable for decorating a site with your own hands.
The Alpine slide always attracts attention Landscaping a summer cottage is possible by installing an alpine slide with your own hands. Alpine slides are now very popular even among novice garden designers. It is important to remember that their creation will require a change in the topography of the earth, as well as the selection of the necessary stones. Folded alpine slide on flat surface and decorating it with cobblestones and flowers, you are unlikely to see your dream in the end. Such a slide will not add any aesthetics, but, on the contrary, will only add foreignness to it.
When the entire plot is already occupied and it is difficult to find a free corner, pay attention to the space next to the house. This place would be an excellent option for creating a blooming front garden.
When there is no time and opportunity to fully improve the garden, you can use tubs, flowerpots or flowerpots. By planting unpretentious plant species in them, you can easily distribute all the beauty throughout the territory, and, if necessary, rearrange them, thanks to the portability of such a solution.
Flowerpots made from decorated buckets are a great option By showing your imagination, you can elevate even an ordinary wooden box. By painting it in an unusual manner or hanging it from ropes that look like hands, you will add some humor and fun to the design.
Flower pots are great for creating sculptures. Having selected pots of different sizes, they are fastened with wire, refreshed with paints, flowers are added and woo-a-la - you have very cute and unique figures in front of you!
What else do they like to decorate summer cottages with, besides flowers? Of course, bodies of water. Ponds and little ponds in combination with green plants will become a piece of paradise in your garden. On hot summer days, sitting here will be a real pleasure. Ponds can be decorated in different ways; here an immense horizon of possibilities opens up for your imagination. Along the shore of the pond you can build a deck from wooden boards, which, in order not to have to worry about their impregnation and painting, can be replaced with composite ones. The advantage of this material is that it does not rot, does not change color and is very reminiscent of wood. The correct name for this coating is decking. It is also perfect for building a veranda or terrace, or for the side areas of a swimming pool.
Even a small pond will add the charm of water Stone slabs will also do an excellent job as banks. The time spent will be justified, because as a result you will get a stunning and reliable pond. To better fix the stones, you should prepare the soil. Part of the soil is removed, crushed stone is poured in, thoroughly compacted and covered with a layer of sand on top. Stone slabs are already laid on top of the sand layer. For greater reliability, sand and cement should be poured into the gaps between the slabs in the form of a mixture. You need to remove the excess and wait for the rain, which, by wetting the blind area, will allow the cement to fasten the slabs to each other.
The owners, whose house is located not far from a quiet river, can collect suitable boulders on the shore and decorate the pond with them. However, it is quite possible to buy such stones at a garden center.
It would be appropriate to move garden paths made of paving stones to the shore of the pond. Then all the garden decoration will be decorated in uniform style. The technique is similar to what we already mentioned above.

The first building in a dacha is usually not even a change house, but a toilet. A necessary thing, I must say. How can a toilet become a decoration, you ask, since our conversation today is about transforming the site? We'll tell you how to turn a very prosaic thing into a source of pride for the owner.
Of course, putting the toilet in a visible place is not the best idea, but it can be beautifully decorated. For example, make it from logs in the form of a birdhouse.

The touching charm of something made by hand It is not necessary to uproot the old stump that remains on the site. Make a bird feeder out of it. In cold weather, your yard will become a haven for titmice, sparrows and other birds looking to refresh themselves. Everyone: both children and adults, will enjoy watching the birds' meal. The inside of the stump should be hollowed out, leaving the side surfaces intact. Place some grains inside, and your feeder is ready to receive its first guests. Having made it from a tree stump, you can hang the product on a branch near the house.
