How to arrange the space around the house?
What is around our house is additional space that we can use in many ways - it can be an extension of the interior, a space for recreation, a place for tranquility and relaxation, an activity (how about a backyard swimming pool?) or the pursuit of a hobby, such as gardening. How to arrange it to serve us best and for as long as possible?
How to arrange a home garden?
One of the best ways to use the area around the house is to create a garden. Being surrounded by greenery helps relieve stress, allows you to be closer to nature, get away from the information that bombards us every day, relax and sink into reading a book in a garden lounger or hammock - sounds good, right?
So how do we design gardens next to the house? Let's start with a plan to get colors, textures and forms that work together. We can also mix plants and flowers of different heights, colors and textures, or go for the garden classic, the lawn! If tending a garden is your hobby, you can't miss a home garden with vegetables and herbs. What tastes better than fresh chives from your own cultivation?
responsibilities and pleasures
When creating a backyard space, you should also think about its functionality and durability. The surfaces of the delineated paths should be made of materials resistant to changing weather conditions. As well as terraces, places for summer dinners or weekend get-togethers - if you have used wood to finish them, remember to properly protect the surface. Proper protection of wood and protection of other materials used for individual elements of landscaping, as well as gates and fences around the house will allow us to enjoy their aesthetic appearance for longer.
When creating the space around the house, we must also not forget to protect both the building itself and the land on which it stands. It is worth taking care of a proper drainage system, i.e. drainage of water, which will protect us, for example, from flooding of the basement, and proper management of rainwater, which allows us not only to save water consumption, but also to take care of the environment.
