Modern gardens are different in their diversity. Layout of large or small garden provides tremendous opportunities for different directions in design.

Construction and maintenance of the variety of flowers, trees and shrubs, lawns and water effects, live fences and low curbs. The combination of many different shapes,textures and colors creates a unique shrub effect.Colored curbs are performed most often to the fence or wall on one or both sides of the driveway. Usually performed by different flowering species such as miniature(curb) roses, hydrangea, lavender, carnations, chrysanthemums and others. For this purpose, may use different, flowering species such as -,barberry, viburnum, (summer lilac) and others.

When you mention the term fruit or a fruit tree in the majority of the people arises association for processed agricultural crops, prepared for this year’s harvest. But you have this kind of place plants in our garden? Our answer is - yes. If you refer to the ancient writings, even in the Garden of Eden was an apple.

Unfortunately, in an effort to build a more modern type of garden, many fellow landscape architects deliberately avoided using them. Are fragrant apricot color,broken crown of pear, quince thick shade of pink or white flowers of the apple can not find a place between high decorative qualities of the species composition came from different parts of the world?

Japanese gardens are places of solitude where people spend time in reflection and meditation. The Japanese revered nature and recreate the original natural areas in the scale proportions.

Japanese garden acts as paintings. Its multi layered composition complex causes perceptions of space. One of the interesting techniques used in contemporary design, is the gradient of the interior with the exterior. In view Japanese houses,which opens to the yard, acts as a picture, whose frame is interior. In Western cultures it is interpreted in different ways.

Total design of the garden can be represented as a pattern of curved lines invisible.The basis is the relationship between the shape of stones and plants. Horizontal composition creates a sense of strength and breadth, and depth and vertical. As a general rule of alternating open and closed spaces, light and shadow. Open space is infinite. It may be a large lake, lush meadows and sandy surface, and the path leading nowhere, covered with river rock.

Turf grass is natural grass grown in advance for a year, which is intended to be permanently affixed immediately raising all kinds of green area. It is sold in coils or plates. This is a modern and safe product, free of weeds, which can be applied almost all year round and provide a wonderful look of your garden.

Irrigation of lawn ensure its healthy and fresh look off, and further development. This is usually done in the morning, with sprinklers, which cover the whole terrain. If we fall through the grass, wash it immediately after grass, but be aware not to over-order to avoid flooding the field.

Most apartments have an additional balcony area. This terrace offers numerous opportunities to raise their standard of living. Imagine sitting in your day off or after work on the balcony surrounded by nature!

Rockeries talk a lot about the owner of the house. Before they all confirm that he is lazy, because the arrangement of stones in some form or around the river is worth a lot.

Secondly, in order to intercept these plants with their roots to rocks, try to do much.There, in mountainous conditions they live in a harsh climate, but have their natural and ordinary life.

The key to maximum disclosure in the visual and practical aspect of the potential of your yard to its aesthetic recovery is design. This includes planning and design of space in a way that best suits both your lifestyle and character of your home and surroundings

Space is a precious commodity. The city is so limited and expensive, it makes sense to enjoy every inch you have. To obtain the desired effect, the design can combine all the elements and techniques, planting of plants and installation of decorative flooring are just some of them.

The history of roof gardens lies deep in antiquity. The most famous example of this, of course, ancient hanging gardens of Babylon. But green roofs are made ??before thousands of years in Scandinavia, and Central Asia from a purely practical reasons -a natural insulation and water drainage.

The man who believes that first made ??modern roof garden of his truly great buildings,is a Swedish architect Friedrich Hundertsvaser. Since then, the green roof is one of the most attractive areas in modern construction. Firstly this is due to over crowding and the high density of liaison in cities, combined with deteriorating environmental conditions. Secondly - the undisputed aesthetic and psychological effect of the presence of a green spot in seemingly impossible places for this purpose .

The virtues of green roofs are obvious. Green roof plants allow to reduce the temperature of heating (hot summer days the temperature of the roof coverings can reach 80oS) to improve noise insulation, absorption of dust and other useful things such as additional protection for members of the fauna.
