Currently, more attention is being paid to such issues as the improvement of the adjacent territory. Designers and architects embody the boldest ideas, using for this purpose modern technologies and materials. Landscaping and gardening of the local territory used to be a matter of prestige. Now it's a matter of fantasy, time and desire. For example, before the Bolshevik Revolution, most private house owners, who were ordinary peasants, could not afford the exquisite design of the surrounding area. And, in general, the land had more practical purpose than an aesthetic, it housed a zone for keeping pets, poultry and livestock, as well as growing food products of plant origin. In manor houses of the nobility, the improvement of the territory near the house had a slightly different character. The entrance group was distinguished by decorative elements of forging, stucco molding, as well as decorative tree species. The paths and platforms were made of gravel, sand or broken bricks. Cobbles were more common in cities. Over time, the improvement of the home territory of the private house has reached a new level, and concrete has been used. It produced garden sculptures, columns and retaining walls, as well as paths and steps. As for stylistics, it was very felt the influence of Europe. The gardens were designed according to a regular pattern, in the image and likeness of Versailles. And also on the pattern of classic English gardens in a landscape style. The latter was more common among the nobility of the small class. Regular style was more typical for the residences of the highest nobility and the royal family.
To date, the fashion for stylistics, decoration of the exterior and improvement of the adjacent territory has undergone significant changes. This is due to the development of technology, the mixing of cultures and the emergence of new materials that enable us to realize what was previously impossible. For example, houses are faced with clinker bricks, ceramic tiles or sewn up the facade with special panels. Instead of concrete or gravel use paving slab, natural stone or frost-resistant porcelain stoneware. The variety of materials and technical means gives architects and landscape designers a wide field for creativity. If you consider the improvement of the local area by the professionals, then you are mistaken. Given the current level of development of this area, you can easily do everything yourself, selecting exactly what suits you, and creating your own unique and original version. But first, it is advisable to get acquainted with the properties, technical characteristics and parameters of the proposed material. Also worth noting that an important aspect is the correct styling or installation. Only in this case, the completed works on improvement will be able to please you for a long time.
