If you think landscaping design requires heavy machinery and an even heftier checkbook, think again. Enlivening shade gardens, transforming boring lawn, and creating a sense of sanctuary mostly comes down to smart choices and creative ideas. So regardless of your yard’s challenges, here are five ways to spruce it up without breaking your back—or the bank.

1.创建一个石板路
通过铺设,无需厚实的基础设施或费力安装更随意的石板路,避免结构化走道的费用和工作。“天然石材的许多不同大小的工作,但我喜欢24到十八英寸件,使其感觉更像是一个走道比小垫脚石,”景观设计师苏珊Schlenger,作者说:景观设计咨询。“只要土壤下面是坚定的,你不必太涉及您如何安装。简单地切出的土壤和设置它们。如果你认为你需要额外的支持,把碎石下面的两英寸厚。”

确定一种模式取决于个人的喜好和空间。您可以将几何石头一个在其他的方面,创造性地错开它们,或添加曲线。至于间距,可以对接件,允许之间的草或地膜几英寸,或保留足够的空间,像百里香,将创建的柔软性,兴趣和魅力点缀耐旱植物。

2.添加颜色的笔画
很少有东西可以搞活一个院子尽快精心策划的颜色。以下是如何确保其效果是和谐的,而不是混乱:

再说一遍。一个美丽的院子并不需要很多不同的植物,但它确实需要节奏和延续感。通过使用相同的植物,颜色,形状或纹理作为一个反复出现的主题横跨风景轻轻的把你的眼睛的视觉倍数统一你的室外空间。

引起公众的关注。Plant annuals and perennials in groupings of at least three of a kind. One lily is pretty, three make a statement, and an entire swath gives dramatic reason to pause.

选择容貌的最后一条。今天映入你的眼睛在花园中心那盛开的可能黯然消失的明天。总体而言,苏珊暗示种植长灯笼裤像景天“秋喜”,喷泉草,蓍草,荆芥“沃克的低,”松果菊,和重复开花敲出™玫瑰系列。而对于遮阳?“永远和Ever®蓝色天堂绣球花是惊人的,”她说。“你会看到,从初夏绚烂的蓝色小花群众到初秋。”

扒窃。养花的基业常青种植,他们的颜色会弹出对充满活力的绿色背景前。

Add sculpture, furniture, and art. Introduce year-round color with pieces that express your personality. Possibilities range from a painted yellow bench nestled in the shade to a mosaic birdbath to attract feathered friends.

美化3. Sprinkle in a Garden Fountain
室外喷泉呈现双赢的功能为你的院子里。除了创建您的庭院或草坪上诱人的焦点,喷泉还增加了一个舒缓的尺寸和水的迷人运动。许多款式都是现成的,但你也可以用储存器和泵变换找到的对象创建之一的一类的喷泉。考虑几乎任何防雨物品的可能性,其中包括大金塔,一个水盆,或一组碗。选择防水盆保持泵然后从不同的喷泉喷雾和喷嘴的分数选择得到你想要的水格局。(If you get an adjustable recirculating pump, you can alter the flow to drown out nearby traffic noise or to slow to a gentle trickle.) And if you don’t want to go to the work of burying an electric line, consider a solar pump instead.

4.使用抗旱播种
有充分的理由爱drought-toleran园丁t plants. These low-maintenance picks can tame a tough slope, create water-wise containers, and bloom in the face of withering heat. That’s terrific news for those gardening in areas with water restrictions, and equally attractive to anyone who doesn’t want to spend hours holding a hose. Your best option is to buy native plants that thrived in your area long before gardeners arrived, then plant them in groupings so they can take hold and thrive. Favorites that suit most regions include Agave, Lavender, Yarrow, Agastache, Russian Sage, Salvia, Lamb’s Ears, Blanket Flower, Amsonia, and Sedums.

5. Personalize with an Arbor
很少有东西可以很明显作为放贷瞬间字符作为增加一个凉棚。乙烯,木材和铝选项比比皆是,但最引人注目的乔木被改变,以反映花园的个性。木结构可以被油漆或染色,并且所有乔木可与杆头或添加一个栅极的点缀。您可以选择一个凉棚细如单一金属管或深足掖两端之间的小板凳。或者,安排一系列廉价的乔木营造一个温馨的alle'e。
