Design project of a private courtyard with a gazebo, pool and barbecue area

The organization of landscape design in a private courtyard is no less important than the arrangement of home ownership. Not only the external image of the house territory, but also the convenience, comfort and even safety of using the yard depend on how your garden paths, arbors and flower beds look like. Having your own, albeit small, area, it would be strange not to take the opportunity to organize recreation areas, cooking on fire and dining areas in the fresh air, not to mention the desire to swim in your own pool. For those who are considering landscaping their own yard, this publication can be an inspiration. A selection of photos of the design project of one private home ownership, or rather, the adjacent territory, includes all the spectra of organizing outdoor recreation.

The courtyard immersed in greenery is divided into functional segments. Zoning here is very arbitrary, carried out mainly through garden paths and key elements selected in each zone. The central and, of course, the focal element of the entire yard was a fairly large pool, the water into which flows from an artificial reservoir of small size, creating not only a beautiful composition, but also a practical approach to organizing the natural circulation of water in tanks.

All approaches to the pool are decorated with concrete slabs. Currently, there are many solutions or finished products, the strength and durability of which is enhanced by special additives. You can not worry about the effect of moisture on such a material, it is not prone to cracking and crumbling, with proper use (without dropping sharp and heavy objects from a great height), this coating will last for many years.

With the help of wooden garden furniture in the immediate vicinity of the pool, a relaxation and sunbathing area is organized. The furniture is quite compact and light, in case of rain or any other precipitation, it can easily be brought into the garage or pantry located in the house.

Another relaxation area by the pool is made in the soft version - a small wicker sofa made of light gray rattan is equipped with soft, removable backs and seats. A roomy little table in two tiers with a metal frame and worktops made of dark wood hastily complemented the cozy image.

Let us consider in more detail the functional base for cooking, eating and relaxing, which is located under a capital canopy. This versatile place can be used in any weather and for different situations - from a simple family dinner in the fresh air to a party with many invited guests.

The space under the canopy is also conditionally divided into zones. The barbecue segment is equipped with convenient storage systems and countertops. A small island with a cutting surface is located in such a way as to outline the boundaries of not only the cooking area, but also the entire space under the roof.

In addition to the cooking area, under the canopy there is a resting place in the form of a spacious wicker sofa made of light gray rattan and a small pouf-stand, made in a similar vein. Soft pillows, seats and backs are very practical, they are easy to care for and can simply be brought into the house in the cold season.

Here, next to the soft zone, is the dining segment. Solid wood table and benches made up a practical and comfortable dining group. If the number of people invited to dinner is more than six, you can put additional chairs at the ends of the table.

Near the canopy, an open hearth is equipped, which can be used as a relaxation element, admiring the dance of fire bursts or cooking on an open fire.

Around the open hearth are equipped with seating. To accommodate with great comfort around the fire, you can borrow soft pillows from the relaxation area under a canopy.

The area around the center of the street is laid out using square concrete slabs, the space between which is covered with fine gravel and pebbles.

Most of the garden paths on the site are filled with small pebble stone spaces, limited by special sides. Beads not only serve as outlines of the forms of paths, but also do not allow vegetation to cross the border of flower beds.

All the vegetation in the private courtyard is planted on the principle of the "old garden" - some plants grew here, others were transplanted at an already "mature age". The main thing that is characteristic of this method of providing the territory with vegetation is a feeling of proximity to nature, its pristine appearance and the feeling that all these plants have been here for a long time, and the man only made minor adjustments and equipped the patio, arbors and outlined garden paths.

Concrete slabs arranged in a clear sequence for organizing paths and entire areas between different segments of the house territory add some geometric and strictness to the landscaping of the courtyard, despite the cute appearance of plants with small flowers growing between the slabs.

In order that time in the fresh air could be comfortably and safely spent in the evening, the courtyard area is equipped with a lighting system. And we are not only talking about the illumination of the facade of the main building, but also an integrated system of bulbs located in the wooden surface of the canopy.

A lot of natural light comes from a lit street. What could be more pleasant than on a cool, clear evening, sitting with the whole family or in an interesting campaign of friends by the fire, chatting and breathing in fresh air, feeling closeness to nature, relaxation and purification?
