Flowerbed along the house

 

Classic version when a flower bed is broken along the house, or along the fence, as in this photo, in the form of steps. If you plant the flower garden close to the wall, it is important to observe the technology, that is, take care of waterproofing so that the foundation of the house is not damp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you plant the flower garden close to the wall, it is important to observe the technology, that is, take care of waterproofing so that the foundation of the house is not damp. Flower beds along the wall can be of different options. You can see the classic brick flower bed in this photo. It is important to properly prepare the foundation. For a wall height of five bricks, a small depression of 15 centimeters will suffice. If the foundation is planned to be made long, from two meters, it is advisable to reinforce it.

Masonry can be made of stone, blocks, bricks, any material is suitable if used correctly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Brick is a convenient material, it is small, so the flowerbed can be made of any shape. You can make additional masonry between the soil and the wall of the house, then it is less likely that the foundation will become damp. If space is limited, then under the wall itself, simply insulate with waterproof material. Choose a border line to your liking, so that the flower bed fits beautifully into the design of the site.

 

 To make a classic flowerbednecessary:

• Mark the outline.
• Dig a small pit along the contour.
• Fill it with drainage (sand, pebbles, gravel, crumbs).
• Make a masonry, while the bottom row of the solution is not fastened, so that moisture does not accumulate under the wall, this is bad for the building and for plants.
• If the flower bed is high, we do the masonry a little with an inclination inward.

You can make a more complex configuration, like this, for example. The principle is the same, only the way of laying the brick is different. This gallery shows how to do this.

Flowerbed of building blocks with decor

Can make a flower bed along the wall of blocksand then beautifully decorate, this option will be cheaper. Cinder blocks, although voluminous, but still the flower bed can be of any configuration.

How it's done.

• Decide where the wall of the flower bed will be installed, dig a trench to a depth of a third of the block. Put a thick plastic film in it and install the blocks in the desired configuration on top. Do not worry about the gaps at the joints, we will solve this issue later. Make sure that the blocks on the first level are installed securely and as close to each other as possible.
• Install the second layer using structural glue.
• To close the triangular gaps, you can use pieces of cardboard, it will close the slots so that the solution does not leak. To hold the cardboard, use a support, in this case, as you can see in the photo, the cardboard was supported by a block.
• Then fill the V-shaped voids with a solution.
• After the solution has dried, remove the cardboard and trim it with a spatula if necessary. The surface for decoration is ready.
• To design a "stone decoration" as in the photo, you can use ordinary concrete or special mixtures. The process itself is not complicated, you can just make a solution of the desired consistency so that it sticks, like plasticine, and throw balls on the wall with your hand, then give the desired shape with a spatula or other tool. Or you can just apply the solution so that it is held on a vertical wall and crush the entire wall in succession with a crumpled piece of cardboard or paper. You get an unusual drawing, in general, fantasize, for sure you will find your own original ideas.
• When the “stones” have dried, fix your “sculpture” with sealant. Before this, the finished wall can be painted or coated with a special varnish.

DIY brick flowerbed

 

Brick flower bed near the house, a good solution for landscaping the yard. Make it yourself is not difficult, especially as small as in the photo. Although some skills, of course, you need to have. If you do a higher masonry, then you need to do everything correctly so that it does not fall apart. But even without the skills, you can try to lay out the masonry for the flowerbed using this instruction.

 

 Before you get started

 

Choose bricks that tolerate moisture well, ordinary ones for the long term are not suitable. For decoration, facing bricks with a beautiful texture are best suited. For a small flowerbed as in the photo you will need about 50 bricks and 30 kg of mortar. If you want to do more, say in six rows, one and a half meters long and half a meter wide, then one hundred bricks and 80 kg should be enough. solution.

 

 

Do the masonry

Make a marking, drive in pegs with a tightened twine. Prepare a trench.

Step 1
Lay bricks without mortar at even intervals. This will tell you if you need to insert a short brick at the end of the masonry. If necessary, you can increase the space between the bricks, in case you will miss quite a bit, so as not to insert a very small piece of brick. Mark the location of the first and last brick.

 

Step 2
Install the first bricks. Mix a small portion of the solution. Install the first two bricks, at the beginning and end of the future masonry. Check the level in both directions by tapping the spatula knob to make adjustments.

 

 

 

Step 3
Lay the first row. Grab a full mortar spatula and lay on a row of three bricks across the entire width, a layer thickness of approximately two centimeters. Smooth the solution from the front side up.

 

 

Step 4
Level the corners and plumb them .. After completing the first row, start laying out the second lap over the first. Constantly check the level of the horizontal surface of the masonry, and the order of the thickness of the joints.

 

 

 

Step 5
Fill each row to the end. Use twine to keep the line flush with the front side. If the necessary piece is missing, you can cut it off with a grinder, if not, then file the right size and then chop it off with a hammer on a wooden plank.

 

 

Step 6
Check the masonry level again. To adjust the level continuously, tap with a hammer. As you move, remove excess mortar from the trowel. To form a beautiful seam, the excess can be removed with a piece of a garden hose.

 

 

Do not miss such a moment as waterproofing flower beds. After the masonry dries, in dry weather it is about a day, treat the inner walls with a bitumen emulsion, then the bricks will not absorb moisture from the ground.

 

Also necessary provide drainage holes in the masonry, for this, do not fill the solution with three vertical gaps in the first row of bricks. At the base of the future flowerbed, remove five centimeters of earth and fill it with a layer of fine gravel. Lay on top the sod that you removed to cover the gravel. To sag the soil, let the flower bed stand in this form for ten days, after which you can fill up the fertile layer of soil and plant flowers or other plants.

 

Brick and stone multi-tier flowerbed

If you try, then somewhere in the corner of the courtyard you can arrange a small oasis, for example, a flower bed in three tiers, if you choose the right plants, you get a good composition. Here we also see a highlight - a small pond. The second option is a composition of stone, although quite large, but you can always make it smaller if you wish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A multi-level flower bed undoubtedly looks very beautiful. The only problem is, it can take up a lot of space, but it ultimately depends on you, if you so much desire, even in a small area you can create a compact multi-tiered flower bed made of brick or stone.Although for a real masterpiece, it is certainly better when there is, where to deploy.

A design feature of any multi-level flowerbed is that water from the upper tiers will accumulate in the lower. From this we can make a logical conclusion that on the upper tiers it is necessary to plant plants that grow well in dry soil, and in the lower tiers - more moisture-loving. Also necessary select plants that bloom in one period, so that the flower garden looks harmonious. Or pick in such a way that they bloomed one after another. Although someone likes it, some prefer to constantly change flowers, some faded - others planted, in general, a matter of taste.

Of course, it is very important to make the right color schemeso that your flower garden looks harmonious. It requires experience, too colorful flowerbed, not very good, and if the flowering period goes differently, it’s also not beautiful. If you are a beginner gardener, carefully study the information on the package with seeds, which indicate the flowering time, and experience will come over time, no one is born a gardener. For example, you can use such a simple scheme for a multi-level flowerbed of perennial flowers.

Here:

2. the flowers pink astilbewill begin to bloom from late June to September;
