Hedge along the tracks

It is impossible to imagine the world of man devoid of vegetation: shrubs and trees. They not only affect the psychological and emotional state of all living things, but also determine the level of human health. Plants give us the most important element for the existence and health of oxygen.

Where to begin?

Experts advise to plan and place trees and shrubs along the fence and paths immediately, simultaneously with the planning of suburban construction. An integrated approach to the organization and filling of the space will allow the dacha to the end of construction work to acquire a habitable appearance, fill with greenery and look like a real kingdom of nature.

Plan of the site with the location of shrubs

Before starting the greening of the territory, inspect the area, familiarize yourself with its advantages and pay attention to the disadvantages, evaluate the possibilities and conditions for planting. It is very important for the selection of varieties and varieties of trees and shrubs.

When arranging a country territory, in order to observe the harmony of all the components and get a finished space, it is better to pay attention and be guided by the recommendations developed by specialists. Before deciding which plantings will grow near the fence, which bushes inside the territory, you need to pay attention to the country space and get answers to the following questions:

1. Decide on the purpose of bushes and trees used for landscaping the site. Understand what purpose is set when landing: to close an ugly fence or to decorate a charming structure. Choose which main function the plants will carry: to mask the fence or to harmoniously adjoin it.

Masking the fence with shrubs

2. For yourself, establish how much of the space falls under the power of trees and shrubs, how much it costs to leave free space. Do not overload the site. Excessive loading of trees and shrubs along the fence, especially plants of high forms, will visually reduce the area and make it oversaturated.

Shrub along the tracks should not overload the space

3. Determine which side of the fence is available for planting: brightly lit by the sun or constantly in the shade. When planting trees, focus on the shade cast by the fence, and plant plants that grow well in these shadow conditions.

Barberry bushes perfectly tolerate the shadow

4. What is the soil in the area of ​​future planting? In order for a plant to truly reveal its decorative properties, it must grow in comfortable conditions for itself.

5. How much is expected subsequent care of the plant. Is it possible to provide with constant attention the capricious flora, provide pruning and shaping to trees and shrubs in need?

A hedge needs regular maintenance.

There are two options for the formation of vegetation on the plot:

1. When landscape planning does not require special human participation. This method of territory formation is particularly well suited for areas located on uneven terrain. In this case, due to the natural difference in the levels of the plant, they look beautiful and together form interesting compositions.

Free landscape planning area

2. The geometric layout provides for the exposure of certain distances between shrubs and trees, maintaining strict geometric shapes. Most often in this case, rows of densely planted trees are created. Between the rows provides for an empty space and standing alone vertical plants among the site.

Strict geometric layout

What plants to plant at the fence?

Choosing trees and shrubs along the fence and paths, pay attention to the fence itself, its appearance and quality of the materials used. To choose plants that will be located in the immediate vicinity of the fence, you must build on its characteristics:

Rabitz

The chain-link refers to unstable structures. It is impossible to put a powerful shrub or a climbing vine on top of an unfortified fence; they will certainly destroy the fence. But on the other hand a transparent fence on the site refers to undesirable species.

Rabbit fence on the plot

The frequent life of a family living in a country house should not be in the public domain and needs some kind of cover. For planting in this case, suitable bushes that are able to support themselves and create an obstacle for prying eyes: lilac, irga, thuja.

Lilac bushes close unsightly rabbits fence

Planted bushes of barberry, chokeberry or hawthorn planted near the fence look good. Plants are planted at a distance of up to a meter from the fence into the hole, the planting depth is from 0.5 m.

Hawthorn bushes in the design of the fence

Wooden fence

You can plant any shrubs and trees near the wooden fence. This is a great place for fruit seedlings and climbing shrubs such as hops. The only limitation in the need for constant care and the difficulties encountered with the execution of works on painting and maintenance of wooden fencing.

Fence of corrugated

It is believed that the metal sheeting is a rather unsafe structure for delicate plants. In the course of a hot day, it heats up to high temperatures, and not all shrubs and trees can withstand such a hot neighborhood. But this opinion is disputed by the plants themselves. Near profiled sheeting lilac grows well, jasmine takes root, raspberry feels confident. Its surface is easily twisted vines.

Jasmine bushes can be planted next to the fence of corrugated

Shrubs along the fence

When choosing shrubs and trees for a country plot, you can create not only luxurious greens. Provide for the planting of environmentally friendly and healthy fruit plants that will be an additional source of trace elements and vitamins. Pay attention to trees and shrubs that do not require special care and grow easily in your area.

A raspberry hedge is not only beautiful, but also useful

A beautiful solution - the creation of a fence from the neighbors in the form of a hedge. With good care, the bushes form a solid wall, which is desirable to periodically cut and at the same time you can give it an interesting shape. It is assumed that the shrub will grow to a sufficient height over time, close the branches and will look like a living fence. The only obstacle in the desire of bushes to expand the scope of their habitat. In this case, shrubs need to constantly cut and not allow them to conquer the entire suburban area.

You can independently adjust the height of the fence.

You can use the same type of shrub. Having landed plants of different height and color, you will receive a picturesque wall that will have a unique look twice a year: during the flowering period and in autumn. The abundance of colors will fill your country space with unique beauty.

Bushes along the tracks of different colors

Thuja, lilac, hydrangea and spirea are suitable for hedge. When choosing plants, note that some of them do not like to be around. So, for example, barberry and turf badly coexist with each other.

Fluffy hydrangea bushes along the walkway

A good idea at first glance to plant shrubs with berries suitable for food, the fence does not always seem successful afterwards. Fruiting plants quickly take root and begin to capture the nearby space, while the berries remain small and sour. When choosing a plot near a fence for fruit bushes such as currants, raspberries, and blackberries, it is necessary to take measures to limit their growth.

Cutting bushes along the fence

To do this, immediately behind the selected area is better to provide a lawn. Caring for shrubs is tying and cutting old branches. Plants also need weeding and killing weeds near the root. This must be done once a month.

Shrubs along the tracks

The decoration of the tracks with a lively ribbon of plants looks very beautiful and adorns the territory. It is not necessary to create a continuous strip of low shrub. This landing will require special attention and care. It is enough to create small thickets of bushes around the tracks, such as boxwood in the southern regions, low thuja. At the corners of the walkway, you can experiment, lay down a hill of stones or one large boulder, and place a row of creeping juniper alongside.

Shrubs of various types along the path

1. Trees should be located as far from the path as possible, up to 1.5 m. Otherwise, their roots can violate the integrity of the coating, and the crown can interfere with the movement of people.

2. Shrubs planted at a distance of one meter.

The distance between the shrubs in the hedge

3. Shrubs and trees, it is desirable to have an increasing height from south to north. In this case, the plants will not close each other from the sun.

What to plant on the back of the fence?

When planting shrubs and trees from the front side of the fence, the owner tries not only to disguise home ownership from prying prying eyes. The creation of an attractive courtyard area is considered important. But do not give preference to fruit plants, hundreds of small legs can trample flower beds in pursuit of delicious fruit.

When planting tree saplings, note that over time they grow into tall trees that break communications, create a large shadow zone, and may eventually root out from gusts of wind and destroy everything in their path of fall.

Planting time of trees and shrubs along the fence and paths

In order for plants to successfully survive the winter period, saturated with low temperatures and wind power, listen to the advice of specialists when planting and pay attention to the following points:

1. When planting trees and shrubs, retreat from the fence to the required distance for plant development. Otherwise, the roots can destroy the barrier, and the crown shade the neighboring area, rather than cause displeasure of the neighbors. The distance from a fence for a tree equal to 3 m, for a bush in 1,5m is generally accepted.

Table of distances between plantings

2. Big trees move away from the fence for at least 5 m. They subsequently form a powerful crown, grow well above the fence.

3. When planting plants, you need to ensure that there are no places with air stagnation in the area. During winter frosts, seedlings in this area may freeze.

4. It is also necessary to retreat from the apartment building about seven meters, otherwise the tree can destroy the foundation by its roots.

5. When landing, retreat a considerable distance from the water supply.

6. Do not allow trees and shrubs, especially those giving edible fruits, near the drain hole.

The most acceptable time to plant trees and shrubs along a fence and paths is generally considered to be autumn. There is such a rule that shrubs and trees that bloom in spring are best planted in the ground in autumn. In spring, vegetation, which blooms in late summer, takes root well.

Shrubs planting scheme

Based on these recommendations, planting plants is better to move to the autumn period. This should be done before the frost, it is desirable that the plant had time to take root. Most often, a transplant is performed in October. If there is a need to do it later, but the frost has not yet come, you can do the work, but provide additional insulation. To do this, near the trunk perform filling with sawdust or peat.

Mulching bushes along the fence sawdust

It is not recommended to replant trees and shrubs during frosts. It is better to just prikopat them in an inclined position, while covering the root with a layer of peat and earth, and planting in springtime.

Cottage makes a favorable impression only if the owners care not only about the comfort in the house, but also about the beauty of the whole farmstead. Well, how can we do without the green border along the entire plot?

True, the landings along the fence should not be random, they also obey the rules of landscape design.

• What area along the fence you intend to plant on trees.
• Shadow is side or sunny.
• What exactly do we need plants for - to protect the site or to decorate it.
• How tall are the trees and bushes you would like to see here.
• Should they require special care   or better to do with plants "without whims."
• You should know the peculiarities of the soil in which you are going to relocate new settlers and take into account the local climate.
• And be sure to keep in mind: a small dacha should not be overloaded with massive plants.

This is when flowers and shrubs are combined. You can plant thuja, juniper and other coniferous species. Dwarf varieties of trees and bushes will also be appropriate. And necessarily - a riot of flowers, which are selected so that their bloom fell at different times. These will be wonderful bright spots that attract attention.

But with such landscaping you need to take into account the state of the fence, which also will not go unnoticed. So before embarking on landings, the fence should be put in order.

Flowers along the fence will be good both in the form of complex compositions, and in the form of simple flowerbeds with simple plantings.

And you can bet on tall flowers. For example, plant dahlias in front of the fence. These bright large flowers will always distract passers-by from the desire to look into the courtyard.

Shrubs

And yet, most gardeners tend to decorate fences with more “solid” plants. For example, the bushes can disguise a nondescript fence, reliably isolate themselves from their neighbors. They are easy to care for. As a rule, they do not twist the fence and do not spontaneously grow over the site.

Which bushes are best planted along the fence? Among the most popular - Derain. He has an unusually interesting color with a silver bloom. And if you locate low hvoyniki nearby, the composition will be very interesting.

Derain is easy to cut and shape. It is perfectly formed, quickly forms reliable protection from dust.

If you plant a sapling in the spring, then by the beginning of autumn it will be a meter height. Many are attracted by such a newcomer, but it must be borne in mind that the Derena needs a decent living space. Therefore, if you want to see more along the fence different shrubs, you need to look at other species.

A good idea is to plant the barberry Thunberg along the fence. These bushes of a beautiful spherical shape reach a height of 90 cm. When the autumn comes, the opaque leaves acquire a red-yellow shade. The fence at this time looks very impressive.

When planting, it should be noted that the barberry does not like shaded places, reacts poorly to the cold north wind, so it is better to have it on the west or south side of the fence. But with watering at the gardeners will not be problems: the barberry is enough rainwater.

Derain and barberry poorly tolerate the neighborhood with each other, as they have different requirements for the composition of the soil and the amount of moisture. Some of these bushes will not demonstrate their best decorative qualities.

And what is bad spiraea, which is also otherwise called calypodia? It also grows quickly, just a few months after planting, bushes covered with lush foliage form a full-fledged hedge.

But to complete the picture, the spirea will certainly need to be cut so that it is not shapeless.

Look closely at such famous shrubs as lilac, hawthorn, elderberry, black chokeberry. All these plants are fast-growing, capable of hiding the fence in a short time. You can plant them in groups, and in front of them - lower trimmed bushes. Very original options can come out.

Well, if the owners want to combine business with pleasure, then along the fence they can land berry bushes. Then you and the fence, and the annual harvest of raspberries, currants, gooseberries, wild rose.

Very important! Shrubs should not be placed close to the fence. When planting, dig pits at a distance of 1-2 meters.

Trees

The usual picture: on most suburban areas along the fences grow fruit trees, performing a double function: they serve as a fence, and regularly bear fruit. Recently, however, gardeners are thinking not only about the benefits, but also about the beauty, they seek to surround their possessions. ornamental trees. They plant luxurious maples, chestnuts, modest willows, birches, lindens.

But you can probably call the favorites of gardeners coniferous treesespecially ate. However, by this the summer residents restore the old tradition - decorating the farmsteads with conifers.

It is necessary to do this spontaneously. To make the composition of young Christmas trees really beautiful, you need to plant them at a distance of about 30 cm and monitor their development, constantly cutting them in width and height.

How to plant trees

The first line you need to land low conifer. This can be, for example, blue spruce. And tall trees will remain in the background.

Deciduous trees that have creeping crown (birch, willow), you need to plant in the background, and pointwise.

Trees and many shrubs, as a rule, have an advanced root system, so there should be at least 3-5 meters between seedlings and a fence, otherwise the roots will destroy the main fence over time.

This is also important because the fence will shade young plants, which will affect their growth.

It must be remembered that in the process of development, the roots of trees grow, cling to each other. That's why it is best to plant trees should be in a pre-excavated trench in one row. This method will give a good result: the trees along the fence will make a flat thick line.

How to choose plants for the fence

The main fences, near which plants are to be planted, come in various types. And for everyone you need to choose the right trees, shrubs or other planting.

Rabitz

One of the most popular types of dacha fence. Not the worst option, but sometimes its transparency does not suit the owners of the plots. They want, for example, to isolate themselves from curious neighbors.

It has a design that is convenient for climbing plants. There is, however, a drawback: you have to be especially careful to ensure that the grid does not deform under the solid weight of the vines and does not rust.

It quickly forms a green barrier hops. But it really hurts: very soon the land and the neighboring one will be flooded with land. To deal with shoots is quite difficult.

It is more practical to plant girlish grapes or echinocystis along the fence. They also grow fast, but they are easy to remove.

A good option to securely close the grid is to sow the beans as thick as possible. Or, for example, plant a Jerusalem artichoke under the fence - not only a high fence will grow, but also a crop of useful root crops.

Any shrubs will feel good about themselves. This may be, for example, hawthorn or elderberry. Any liana will grow (grapes, hops).

Fruit trees are also relevant (cherry, plum). You can plant hydrangea, barberry, lilac, thuja. All of them are unpretentious and attractive.

Fence of steel corrugated or corrugated

Strong plants should be planted along such a fence, as the fence material will heat up from the sun's rays, and the plants may not withstand such a heat attack. And best of all before planting plants to paint such a fence.

By the way, many gardeners dispute this opinion and believe that along such a fence, jasmine, lilac, raspberry, and many lianas feel great.

What to plant along the fence from the street

These plants will have one purpose: to hide the area from passers-by. But after all, this goal should be achieved in a beautiful way? And it will be so if you plant low trees along the outside of the fence: pine, spruce, chestnut, birch, and cut it as you grow.

Lilac is also suitable in this place, but you have to make sure that during the flowering “lovers of beauty” do not break branches.

When to plant trees and shrubs

It doesn’t matter if you plant or transplant plants - it’s better to do it in the autumn at times. Experts practice and winter landing, but it is a task unbearable for summer residents.

There is such a pattern: decorative bushes, which bloom in the spring, - plant in the fall; if you bloom in late summer - you can plant in spring. As you can see, for most shrubs planting dates are still autumn.

This season is also good because you don’t need to hurry, fearing that the buds are about to bloom. The main thing in autumn planting   - so that the seedlings can take root to severe frosts. Well and in middle lane   It’s difficult to guess the cold weather, so it’s better to complete all the landing work by mid-October.

If for some reason the trees or shrubs could not be planted by this time, you can take a chance and do it a little later. But at the same time the roots need to be protected from the cold. They do it this way: the near-stem circle is richly mulled by peat, sawdust, leaves, etc.

If it's cold outside, planting trees and shrubs is impossible. They need to give a sloping position, prikopat earth and sprinkle with mulch. And on permanent place   plant with the onset of spring.

It is easier to deal with plants that are grown in containers. They can almost be planted at any time. The exception is evergreen bushes and trees or plants that bloom at that moment.

The article will help you choose plants for planting along the garden paths. What plants are better, decorating steps.

  In combination with a garden path

Before you begin to decorate the garden path (Read the article "How to make a garden path"), you need to think in detail what plants will be better in harmony with it. To do this, consider the material from which the track is paved, what color it is. For example, if the garden path is lined with orange tiles, you can pick plants of the same color, such as marigolds or calendula, or, conversely, shading this color.

If you want to hide a nondescript gray color, then you need to pick up such plants so that all attention is paid only to them.

Plants along the garden paths can be planted annuals. If every year there is no desire to decorate the path, then it is best to pick perennial flowers or decorative leafy plants.

If, on the contrary, it is necessary to show the beauty of the path, its unusual paving, you can sow strips of lawn that will very clearly emphasize the lines of the path. And after the lawn you can plant flowers. Air-like irises, hosts will look very nice.

At the corners of the intersection of the tracks can be broken flowerbed with rounded lines. It would be better if such a bed will consist of widely growing flowers, for example, from ground-covering roses.

  What plants are better?

To unequivocally answer what kind of plants are best planted along a garden path is difficult, since this is the business of every gardener, his love for certain plants. Nevertheless, there are a number of recommendations in solving this problem. For example, a very good solution - landing at the edges of the track different varieties   daylily. Daylily can be of very different colors: burgundy, brown, yellow, orange, violet - all these colors will either be combined with the track or shade it. In addition, the peculiarity of the daylily is that one variety fades away and the other begins to bloom. Thus, along the path there will always be beautiful flowering plants.

If u track grass curbthen small bushes of decorative cereals, sedges, often having variegated leaves, decorative inflorescences, will do.

Evergreen periwinkle is very popular with gardeners. This plant will decorate the track with its bright greenery almost the entire season. In June, the periwinkle blooms with beautiful blue flowers.

Beautiful along the paths will look different bulbous plants, such as hyacinths, crested, tulips, but it is only in the spring. But unpretentious daisies delight their bloom from summer to autumn.

  Along the tracks - landing in tiers

Planting of plants in tiers will add amazing beauty to the garden path. The peculiarity of this planting is that each tier is decorated with certain plants, selected by color, height, and foliage.

The first, lower tier, as a rule, consists of creeping and stunted plants. Here you can include, for example, a different type of stonecrop, thyme, zhivuchki, lungwort, undersized hosts, periwinkle, saxifrage, primroses, phylum styloid, antennaria, monkeys.

To create a second tier, medium-grown plants are selected. This is a fishery, Badan, creeping hvoyniki, high primroses. You can use yearlings.

The background is made up of higher plants. Beauty will be given to him by such plants as astilbe, phlox, paniculata, lilies, daylilies, jois, and fowlaris. Column-shaped conifers will give a finished tier.

When creating longlines, it is necessary to select plants so that they combine with each other, do not overlap each other.

  Decoration of steps and ledges

On uneven garden plots, with frequent differences in height of the track, they pass into ledges, in steps. To decorate them, you can plant low or creeping plants. This will visually smooth the unevenness of the site.

The steps can also be decorated with flowers, moreover, this can be done so that the shape of the walkway changes visually, for example, to make a smooth flight of a staircase or a smooth walkway curved. For this plant must be planted so that they waddle over. Such a plant besides beauty still fixes the soil, prevents its erosion. This function can be performed well by the small-scale bloom. His little white and pink daisies bloom all season. It reproduces by self-sowing, and due to short stature it can sprout in any crack, thus hiding defects in the work when paving paths.

Bending the track can be visually created if you plant a large plant that would cover the continuation of the track.

The fence around the local area or suburban area is a necessary thing. It not only indicates the boundaries of possessions, but also protects the landing from visiting the territory by unwelcome neighbors pets.

Also, the fence can be an artificial protection from the wind for many plants. We will try to figure out what to plant along the fence, so that this protective structure looks attractive. Plants can be both from the inside and from the outside of the fence.

What trees to plant along the fence

Ephedra for the inside of the fence

From the inside of the fence, you can plant coniferous trees with slow growth and with decorative needles and crown.
