Correct division of the site

To achieve the desired goal, it is necessary, first of all, to correctly divide the total area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site into main zones, in addition to the one where the house itself is located directly.

Determine areas for a garden, vegetable garden, various necessary buildings. At the same time, note the location of underground utilities.

You can work out all these issues in conjunction with the choice of a place where the recreation area will be located. It is very important to arrange this area in such a way that it fits perfectly into the overall landscape design.

This should be a cozy area, occupying either the front part of the local area, or located somewhere in the depths of the garden, where plantings of various fruit trees can hide the audience from prying eyes.

To protect yourself from rain and sunlight, it is better to use covered light buildings or use a canopy.

A small area reserved for a recreation area should look convenient and comfortable. A larger area implies a breakdown into several functional, diverse subzones.

Assistance in finding design options for recreation areas

Having decided to thoroughly approach the solution of the problem of designing a recreation area, people most often cannot independently determine how best to equip everything. Some turn to professional landscape designers for help. Those, in turn, develop a landscape plan for external improvement with a professional approach.

When the services of designers are not affordable, in order to save money, many turn their attention to the colorful editions of various magazines and catalogs aimed at specific topics. Of course, the Internet provides invaluable assistance in this case. On its pages you can find many different types of landscape design and choose the most liked photo of the recreation area in the country, taking it as a basis.

Nobody forbids developing one’s own imagination, but sometimes it is interesting to use the ideas borrowed from the masters of landscape design, modifying them a little.

Preparation and zoning. Installation of a concrete pad

The initial stages, including actions for the distribution of areas of the site, are carried out in accordance with certain rules and recommendations:

• The design is carried out taking into account the data of the soil, when linked to the plan of the existing structure and communications.
• Self-arrangement of a place to rest implies its close location near the house, on a base prepared in advance, in a small penumbra.
• To carry out a good zoning of the site, this means to properly divide the territory into functioning areas, as noted in the previously developed plan.

Dividing the site, you can use the symbolic designation of boundaries. Arrange paving stones, plant lawn grass, install green hedges. The lawn is often considered a decorative decoration, but at the same time it always serves as a great backdrop.

However, more often a stronger concrete base is chosen for the site, which can withstand the loads created by the placed furniture, barbecue grills and other items of the external interior.

The most common type of site device is a concrete pad. In other words, the installation of a foundation slab, where all work is carried out clearly in compliance with a certain technology, including:

• arrangement of a recess in the ground, focusing on the geometric parameters of the site (length, width), on the thickness of the subbase and concrete pouring;
• gravel and sand base;
• installation of fixed wooden formwork;
• mortar bed device (30 mm);
• installation of a waterproofing carpet (1 layer);
• pouring concrete mix.

Three weeks later, when the concrete reaches the proper exposure, you can proceed to the next work. Decorate walls and flooring. Lay garden parquet, terrace board on the floor, lay ceramic tiles.

When performing wooden flooring, a strip foundation is also used. This makes it possible to save time. In addition, it takes less effort and, most importantly, finances.

Indoor and outdoor areas

So, it was decided to organize a suburban area with the allocation of a place where it will be possible not only to relax with the whole family, but also to invite guests. There are two main device options.

Either it will be an open area, or it will have a closed view, for the so-called romantic getaway.

In the latter case, the site is built as a kind of «open space». The outer fencing is replaced by all kinds of fabric decorative curtains. Or they are designated by original lattices with hanging plants from the loach family.

The entrance to the romantic zone can be indicated by a beautiful curtain made of strung beads. The easiest and most effective way to isolate yourself from prying eyes and enjoy your vacation. As another option for finishing such areas, there are screens made of bamboo.

A beautiful Japanese-style recreation area is being arranged, where small containers with planting exotic plants, as well as decorative mini-fountains, become design objects. All this recreates the atmosphere of a Japanese garden.

If the choice is made in favor of a covered area, then undoubtedly this is the best choice, which will protect you from bad weather, such as rain, or escape from dangerous ultraviolet rays.

A closed area is arranged as an extension to the main house with a common load-bearing wall. Moving to the recreation area takes place from the territory of the residential premises.

Creating an open area for installing a barbecue

Probably, the design of the recreation area in the country house would not be complete without a brazier for barbecue and barbecue. The use of such a design implies rest in good weather conditions.

The most suitable place for such a zone is a separately installed gazebo with a stone wall near the fire for fire safety purposes, or a terrace. You can use a regular canopy. The main thing is to protect yourself from precipitation.

At the same time, it is worth considering the necessary requirements for the use of such zones. Namely:

• A barbecue area should not be placed close to garden plantings.
• The hearth is located away from the house, wooden structures and fences.
• When the barbecue area is located under a canopy, a chimney is installed.

Children’s play area

Of course, the concept of a large family always implies the presence of children. To organize for them a worthy interesting vacation in the country is an important task. In this regard, a plan for the arrangement of a children’s play area is being developed.

The most convenient option for arranging a playground can be a place located in the backyard area. Specifically, in this case, most people seek to arrange a recreation area with their own hands.

Caring parents equip the playground in such a way that their beloved children can both play and develop physically over the summer. Therefore, various types of sports equipment, rope ladders, fairy-tale houses, slides, as well as a sandbox for kids are used as furnishings.
