Alpine slide at the dacha: create unique landscape decor with your own hands - a couple of tips from the designer
Simple flower beds and flower gardens have long been out of fashion.
Many summer residents prefer to decorate their plots with special compositions called alpine slides.
Together with the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , we will analyze the basic concepts that you need to navigate.
How to make an alpine slide in the country
First of all, keep in mind that the best time to create an alpine slide is spring. If you start creating a composition in the summer, then it is better to design it without flowers that will not take root in dry weather.
Use the natural landscape of your site. A small hill or, conversely, a depression in the ground is an ideal place for a composition.
If you like the laconic Japanese style and decide to follow it when arranging the composition, immediately think about whether there will be dissonance with the house and the design of the rest of the site.
And finally, combine no more than 2-3 types of stones of different sizes in your slide so that the composition does not seem overloaded.
