The territory of the estate

Having completed the construction of the priority outbuildings and proceeding to the planned housekeeping – the cultivation of Utah, agriculture, gardening, you can inhale with satisfaction from many unusual concerns and troubles that fell at first. However, if these troubles from the beginning did not cause much protest and emotional irritation, there will be very little time, and you will plunge into construction creativity again, this time already in order to make the site more convenient for homework and relaxation, more comfortable, more comfortable More beautiful. The territory of the estate around a residential building is sometimes called another – green – a room, an open -air room. The house seems to expand at the expense of sites, flower beds, cozy corners of the rest. Elements of simple, reasonable improvement – paths, flower beds, pergola, retaining walls, garden furniture, small pools, fences, etc. – even more unite the dwelling with the surrounding nature. The construction of these, as they say, small architectural forms usually does not require significant means and thorough special knowledge. But each business has its own characteristics, and therefore the author considers it useful to give brief recommendations here for the construction of some elements of improvement. When we walk, we look more often under our feet than on moans. Therefore, paths and platforms should be not only strong and convenient for moving along them, but also quite beautiful. In addition to the main function, the paths serve as a kind of neutral background for multicolor plant compositions of flower beds, flower grinders, and a slave. Building sites and paths on the site is best in parts. Otherwise, we risk turning the estate into a continuous construction site. However, the first operation – tracing (laying) and breakdown on the area of ​​ways of movement – should be carried out at once, outline the slopes of the road surface and the direction of the drainage system. For normal water flow, it is enough to provide a slope of 1-2% (1-2 cm of a decrease or lifting per 1 m of length). In kind on the site, slopes are laid after the leveling (check) of the road construction site. They do this with the help of the construction level, 1, 5-2, 5 meter flat wooden rails and kolyshkovmaids.
