A perfect courtyard, how to match the green plants?

The basic principle of garden plant collocation: 1, the species should not be too many.

Garden plant species should not be too many, generally 2 ~ 3 species are the main species, and then 3 ~ 4 other species are selected as collocation; The density should not be too full, and space should be reserved appropriately to facilitate later pruning and maintenance.

2. Planting in different levels

Garden plants should be planted at different levels and have complementary habits. For example, the upper layer chooses tall sunny trees, and the lower layer chooses shady shrubs, flowers and ground cover plants in order to survive.

These are two basic principles of garden plant collocation. Of course, for the overall landscape design of garden plants, we need to consider not only the plants themselves, but also the principles, which can be summarized into five parts: artistic principle, economic principle and amenity principle, privacy principle and safety principle.

Five principles of landscape design of garden plants: 1 and artistic principle.

Courtyard artistry, mainly through the combination of plants to create personalized design, not only through the large-scale planting of a single plant, but also through plants with distinctive shapes or colors to create unique spaces.

In terms of plant collocation, we should make overall consideration and consider the hierarchy of courtyard landscape. Different kinds of trees, shrubs, flowers and ground cover plants can be used to create a layered visual space.

Also consider the color matching of plants. Because the space of most courtyards is not very large, the colors can't be too miscellaneous, and the layout can't be too full, it can be dominated by the same kind of dark trees, supplemented by relatively shallow young trees, and appropriately decorated with light colors such as shrubs and flowers to create a sense of depth and give people a visual impact.

In the choice of flowers and plants, we should not only pay attention to color matching, but also pay attention to the pleasant fragrance of flowers, so as to narrow the distance between people and plants.

Different plants can create different styles of courtyards, such as classical courtyards dominated by bamboo, European courtyards dominated by pruned shrubs, and modern courtyards dominated by various flowers and plants.

Each style has its own unique artistry, and the orientation of style should be judged according to the owner's preference and architectural style.

2, the principle of economy

Courtyard economy mainly refers to the plants planted in the courtyard.

It needs to be comprehensively considered from three stages:

Pre-design stage: communicate with the owner repeatedly before design, and determine the final scheme before construction to avoid the cost waste caused by scheme change.

Medium-term construction stage: try not to change the original plants, and then carry out transformation design on the original basis to obtain the richest landscape effect with the lowest investment.

Later maintenance stage: due to the limited space in the yard, plants with slow growth and easy pruning should be selected.

3. Pleasure principle

The crowd facing the private courtyard is relatively fixed. It is not only a place for owners to walk for health and have fun, but also a place for owners to relax after a fast-paced day's work.

Lying on the lounge chair in the courtyard in the afternoon, feeling the coolness of the breeze caressing your cheeks; Prune the flowers after meals to experience the comfort of yard work; Enjoy a candlelight dinner when the night is dim ...

The comfort of the courtyard is to provide a comfortable living space for the owners, while giving consideration to privacy and safety. This requires designers to grasp the design content of each place according to the preferences of the owners and create a perfect and pleasant space.

4. Privacy principle

Privacy is the basic psychological requirement for people's living space. Big trees and lush young trees can be used as external sights, replacing fences to some extent and making the courtyard more private.

5. Safety principle

The safety of the courtyard is mainly reflected in the following two aspects:

On the one hand, from the owner's psychological safety habits, with the help of plants and the outside world, an effect of "I can see you, but you can't see me" is created.

On the other hand, starting from the design elements, because the space of the courtyard is small and the distance of contact with people is relatively close, it is necessary to choose plants with high safety in plant planting.

For example, the poisonous shrub oleander should not appear in the small yard; Families with children should not use rose plants with acupuncture too much to avoid children being injured; In case the owner suffers from asthma, he can't plant plants with floating flocs; In addition, it is also necessary to consider whether the owner is allergic to a certain tree species and try to avoid it when designing.

The above are the five principles of landscape design of garden plants and the related tips of plant collocation.
