To hedge turned out to be unpretentious and decorative at the same time, you first need to pick up a photo of plants, study the descriptions of the groups, make possible combinations, and only then proceed to planting. Gardeners prefer to buy fast growing varieties to a couple of years green fence acquired a presentable appearance.

Advantages of green fences:

Plants are selected very different: coniferous, deciduous, ornamental, flowering and even fruit. Suitable perennials that are resistant to adverse conditions, plus they should have a dense crown, uniform growth, resistance to pests and frosty winters.

Types of fast growing shrubs

Deciduous crops are actively growing, some varieties give an increase of up to 1 m per year. Ornamental seedlings with small foliage are suitable for a living fence. Many of them delight with flowering for several months. Priority fast-growing shrubs for hedges are vesicle, spirea, turf, barberry, mock orange.

• Vesicle and spirea

Vesicle Diabolo

Bubbleweed viburnum - sprawling bush up to 2-4 m in height. There are also dwarf options for borders. It is valued for its decorative foliage with a jagged edge, snow-white inflorescences and small bubble fruits that distinguish the vesicle from other plantings. Depending on the variety, the crown may change color to golden or reddish by autumn. For better growth it is recommended to use top dressing, suitable for him, rotted manure, compost.

This is perfect plant, requiring minimum care. Grows on dry soil, does not impose special requirements on solar lighting, for the year adds 40-50 cm, beneficial to the haircut. A colorful combination can be achieved by alternating Diabolo varieties with a brownish-green crown and hard-leaved Luteus.

Spirea is a shrub that makes a magnificent flowering hedge. Of these plants, they do not form clear boundaries, but allow them to grow freely. Attracts attention with lush snow-white flowering, which is set off by rich green foliage. Both single-row and multi-row plantings are possible. In some plants, the lower part of the trunk is exposed as it grows. In this case, a number of undersized flowers are planted in front of them, it does not hurt to use organic here too) for active growth and flowering.

• Cotoneaster brilliant and derain white

Cotoneaster brilliant - the best specimen for growing a dense fence. Height can reach 2 m. green tint to burgundy. The fruits are small black or red peas that adorn the shoots at the end of the season. It grows in one place for more than half a century, well tolerated by drought, pruning and frost. To form a dense curtain, it is recommended to remove annual shoots by 1/3.

Derain white - owner decorative leaves with light border. Tall derain shrubs grow up to 2.5 m. The plant is shade-tolerant, not afraid of dampness, in spring it is covered with elegant creamy inflorescences. With proper care, repeated flowering in the fall is possible. White Derain changes its outfits several times during the season, and each time they are magnificent. Pleases first abundant flowering, then variegated foliage and autumn crimson, and in winter, reddish shoots are full of reddish shoots against the background of a snow-white bedspread. From the crown it will not be difficult to create balls, cubes, hemispheres and columns.

• Tree hydrangea and mock orange

Tree hydrangea has a more restrained growth, but it is absolutely unpretentious, grows and blooms in almost any conditions. Its leaves are egg-shaped with jagged edges. Buds are formed on shoots current year, so she is not afraid of a short haircut in the fall and in the spring before the juice begins to move. Inflorescences, reaching 15-20 cm in diameter, delight with their beauty from July to frost.

Mature plants in middle lane hibernate without shelter.

Pairs well with hydrangea. Available for sale as tall varieties, reaching 3 m (Airborne, Flight of the Moths), and undersized up to 0.7 m (Moonlight). Beautifully flowering unformed hedges are made up of crown mock orange, Caucasian and large-flowered. strong aroma characteristic of Lemoine and Airborne. When planting in a single row, seedlings are recommended to be placed at a distance of 0.5 m. harsh winters freezing of shoots is possible, but after pruning, the crown is quickly restored.

Evergreen shrubs: beauty throughout the year

Evergreen hedges are formed from coniferous shrubs, and joint combinations with deciduous plants.

The advantage of coniferous plantations:

• perfectly tolerate pruning;
• purify the atmosphere;
• have high sound insulation;
• retain decorativeness throughout the year;
• grow in one place for tens or even hundreds of years.

Popular types of conifers for creating a hedge:

The minus of evergreen specimens is slow growth compared to deciduous plants, but some coniferous varieties respond necessary requirements and allow you to grow a green fence for several years.

Popular deciduous evergreen shrubs for hedges:

Prickly bushes guarding the backyard

Thorny bushes give the advantage of protecting the site from unexpected guests and animals.

Hedge growing tips for beginners

It is important not only to know which plants are unpretentious, but which ones they create problems as they grow. Several factors should be taken into account:

1. The smaller the needles and foliage, the thicker the bush looks.
2. When choosing a place for a hedge, you need to determine the possible shadow from it, whether the plantings will shade unwanted places, including in the neighboring area.
3. The optimal height of the fence for visual isolation of the site is no more than 2 m. To delimit the site into zones, a bush height of 1.5 m is sufficient.
4. Over time, the landings will begin to get out of the territory allotted to them. The gardener needs to know how to restrain growth and concentrate the bulk of the bush in a certain place. The most popular technique is to limit planting trenches by burying slate sheets to the depth of the root system.
5. If the bush is well formed, it can be given not only a horizontal shape, but also cut it in the form of waves, zigzags, geometric shapes.
6. Too dense plantings that do not let the wind through give by-effect: air currents pass over them, creating turbulences, which negatively affect nearby trees. For dense hedges, bushes are selected that do not limit the minimum ventilation of the site.

You can grow a curtain of greenery in the country in a few years, if you know which types of plants develop most quickly and do not require special care. A beautifully designed living fence can create a unique comfort in the garden, protecting it from neighbors, noise and excess dust.

The territory adjacent to the kindergarten should be safe for kids, contribute to good rest and proper development. And to contribute to this, first of all, a properly formed landscape should kindergarten. On the territory of a preschool institution must be present such elements as:

• green spaces;
• alleys, paths, paths;
• pavilions, gazebos;
• playgrounds and sports grounds.

Green spaces

First of all, we note that plants that can create an unfavorable microclimate (for example, poplars giving fluff) should not be planted on the territory of the kindergarten and dangerous for kids (for example, wolfberry). The territory adjacent to the kindergarten should be completely cleared of weeds that pose a risk to child health- toxic belladonna, henbane, dope, prickly thistle, etc.

Ideally, the landscape design of the territory of the kindergarten should become the basis for the initial botanical education, here you can plant trees, flowers and shrubs characteristic of the region, and rare plants and real exotics. Moreover, it is desirable that the plants be present in the landscape of the garden in several copies - this way they will be better remembered by the kids.

Conifers are very appropriate on the territory of the kindergarten - they purify and heal the air. But it is better to plant thorny plants away from playgrounds, for example, at the gate or at the main entrance to the building. One of the most appropriate kindergarten conifers is a spruce tree, which on the eve of the New Year will be dressed up and create a festive mood not only for children, but also for adults.

Deciduous trees on the territory of the kindergarten are best planted along the fence and along the alleys. To create shade on the playgrounds, it makes sense to plant one or more large trees with spreading crowns nearby. If on the territory of a preschool institution they land fruit trees, it is necessary to ensure that the fallen fruits are picked up from the ground in time.

Shrubs and hedges in the design of the kindergarten site are great for dividing the space. Viburnum, honeysuckle, jasmine, chokeberry are perfect for planting along the edges of playgrounds and sports fields. A low boxwood or thuja hedge will separate the site from the path.

You can’t do without flower beds, flower beds, mixborders on the kindergarten territory. Plants for them should be selected bright, multi-colored. Flowerbeds near the kindergarten should please the eye from spring to autumn cold. Near the places where the kids play and move, it is better to plant simpler flowers - calendula, irises, chamomile, escholcia, Chinese cloves, petunias, etc. Rare plants can decorate the parterre or flower garden near the main entrance.

Particular attention - the design of flower beds. They can be fenced or visually separated from the paths. beautiful border from colored pebbles, mini wattle, old plastic cubes or other decor. On such flower beds will be appropriate garden figurines, homemade decor, old but cute waterproof toys and more.

When landscaping the territory of a kindergarten, it is necessary to provide for beds or flower beds that the kids themselves will look after, because cultivating a love for nature is an important aspect in shaping a personality. These should be small plots of land so that children can easily reach anywhere in the garden. good decision in this sense are the flower beds of car tires small diameter.

Tracks

The main paths and alleys on the territory of the kindergarten, as a rule, are asphalted or paved with tiles. Side paths and platforms can be made sandy or sown with soft and low-growing lawn grass.

On the sports ground, you can equip an orthopedic track made of rounded pebbles. To do this, enclose it on the sides with a low curb so that the pebbles do not scatter on the sides. Then we fill the space between the curbs with medium-sized sea pebbles. It will be useful for kids to walk along such a path - this will be a good prevention against flat feet.

Pergolas and pavilions

On the territory of the kindergarten there are always several structures in which, if necessary, children can hide from the sudden onset of rain or from the scorching sun. Such structures must have at least one solid wall, and inside there must be benches.

On the territory of most preschool institutions built on standard projects, there are simple and safe pavilions, which, however, do a good job with the functions assigned to them. Their only drawback is excessive asceticism. So that such structures do not look monotonous and dull, they are painted with bright waterproof paints, paintings with fabulous, natural, fantastic plots are created on the walls.

As for the space around the pavilions and pavilions - in landscape design plots of the kindergarten should provide for one or two sprawling large-sized plants planted next to such structures. Tree crowns will create a favorable microclimate there, protecting gazebos and pavilions from overheating on hot days.

Play and sports grounds

In the landscape design of the kindergarten, playgrounds for outdoor games and sports must be provided. The main requirement for all structures installed at such sites is safety. Therefore, their placement must be planned in advance. Play structures must be installed at a distance from each other, as well as from landscape objects, so that, for example, having moved down a hill, the child does not fall into the bushes.

Slides, sandboxes, swings and other play equipment should be selected taking into account the age of the kids who will use them; for this, different playgrounds are usually equipped for preschoolers of different ages. The standard surface for playgrounds is sand or grass.

The sports ground must be integrated into the landscape of the kindergarten in such a way that there are no plants nearby that could seriously damage a ball or other object thrown by a child. The horizontal bar, basketball hoop, low log and other sports equipment should be at a sufficient distance from each other. permanent coating for sports ground is a quality lawn.

Besides…

In kindergartens, other landscape objects are sometimes equipped, for example, artificial reservoirs, fountains. If there is an idea to organize something similar on the territory of the kindergarten where your child goes, the main criterion should be the safety of the water body. artificial ponds that children can access should be very shallow, the water in them should warm up well. Other bodies of water must be securely fenced off. A “dry” fountain is ideal for freshening the air in the kindergarten.

As you can see, the improvement of the territory of the kindergarten has its own characteristics, because it is focused on the smallest connoisseurs of landscape art. Creating comfort for kids is not such a difficult task, but it requires desire, imagination and a responsible attitude. And if you want and can do something in this direction - get down to business without a doubt, and then your baby will be able to proudly say to his friends: “My parents did it!”.

If you decide to make such a decoration in your yard, then you need to decide on the goals of the fence, its location relative to the sun and other factors, as well as its shape. After all, it can be free and grow in all directions. And there is one that needs to be formed, cut and adjusted to certain sizes. Therefore, it is important to choose the right type of plant that will perfectly cope with all your requirements.

Kalinolistny vesicle

This bush has excellent performance for those who want to quickly green up their site. disease resistant, well tolerated frosty winters and most importantly, these hedge plants are fast growing.

• European and Giralda are distinguished by the highest resistance to frost;
• the greenest has the most large flowers, but does not tolerate winter well and is suitable for the southern regions;
• oval-leaved;
• drooping;
• average hibernates without loss.

Important! Fertilizers are important for forcing: organic fertilizers are applied in the fall, mineral fertilizers in the spring. And also - pruning, which is carried out every year. Without these actions, the bush becomes very weak.

Privet

- This is an evergreen plant that is ideal for landscape design. Its leaves, like those, are glossy, but their shape is slightly elongated. In the spring it is decorated with snow-white flowers, and closer to autumn it is showered with dark blue small berries.
There are varieties whose leaves fall completely or partially for the winter, and those that all year round remain green. It is possible to make a shape out of this, but due to its long growth process, the formation will take a long time.
Most Popular varieties:

• "Glaucum" - does not grow above one meter;
• "Atrovirens" - has beautiful and juicy dark green foliage;
• "Aureum" - has leaves of a light green color with gold, survives winters well.

Important! If 'Aureum' is planted in the shade, it will lose its yellow pigment and become dark green.

Yew

Refers to conifers and evergreens, which differs from them in that it has no odor, since it does not emit resins. This is berry variant of needles: instead of cones, red, blue ones grow on this bush. They densely dot the branches and decorate the bush until the autumn cold.

In landscape design, it is especially popular due to the fact that it can withstand frequent and plentiful cutting, allowing these to realize any form. By default, its crown looks like.
This plant is not tall - it rarely grows more than 1 m, but there are varieties that reach 3.5 m. In the first years of life, it develops rather slowly, and only from the age of five begins to grow profusely. His root system very powerful and strong. It does not need special care.

Did you know? Yew wood has amazing properties: it does not rot, is resistant to bacteria or other pests, for which it was once massively cut down. Therefore, yew is listed in the Red Book.

It is very convenient to use yew in landscape design, because it grows slowly, which means that the shape that you give it will remain almost unchanged for several years.
When pruning shoots, gardeners may feel headache or other ailments. This is due to the fact that the yew bark contains a poisonous substance, which, if the structure of the branches is disturbed, begins to evaporate. In not in large numbers it is not big

A hedge is an attractive, environmentally friendly and, importantly, economical type of fencing and a method of zoning a site. Such a fence looks natural, which means it fits well into the design of any territory.

A hedge located around the perimeter will serve as a fence (outline the boundaries of the site, cover from street noise and prying eyes), and by planting it in the garden, you can simultaneously divide the site into zones and combine them with a common design idea.

With the help of "green borders" they effectively decorate the borders of flower beds, paths, playgrounds. High hedge of strong coniferous plants useful on a site open to winds (read the article about conifers and evergreens for the garden). And if summer house used only for seasonal recreation, then a hardwood hedge with decorative foliage interesting shades.

An impenetrable hedge is obtained from interspersed barberry, hawthorn and willow bushes.

Intertwined with branches, in 2-3 years such a fence will turn into an insurmountable barrier for people and even animals. For trellis fences, trees are selected that can grow together with branches and planted in several rows.

Annually, the plants are pruned, leaving the strongest growth, which is intertwined and tied together. Over time, the fused and intertwined branches are regularly pruned, giving the hedge the necessary height and neat appearance.

Types of hedges

Border- created from undersized shrubs up to 0.5 m. Used to limit flower beds and individual garden areas, landed along the tracks.

hedge- grown from medium and tall shrubs with decorative foliage and conifers 0.5-2.5 m high. It performs a protective function: it shelters from wind, dust, prying eyes.

Living wall (bosquet)- more than 2 m high. Consists of strong trees with dense branches that create shade and reliable protection site. If the fence on the site already exists, it can be hidden behind fast-growing vines: parthenocissus, hops, honeysuckle of various types, climbing roses and clematis, kampsis. By adding decorative elements in accordance with common style garden, as a result you will get a spectacular art object.

Before choosing plants for a hedge, it is important to decide whether it will be formed or free-growing.

Formable and free-growing hedge

formed- It has certain form and requires regular pruning to maintain it (at least 3 times per season). Strict geometric shape such a hedge is often used in gardens regular style, and also looks great in small suburban areas.

free growing hedge requires less attention care. It is not sheared (only dried or damaged branches are removed), it has natural look and takes more space. Therefore, a free-growing hedge can be used in larger areas.

Plants with a spreading sparse crown are suitable for such fences: felt cherry, mock orange, pine, weigela, Japanese quince. You can read more about this in the article on planting and shaping hedges.

What plants to make a fence?

For high living walls ornamental all year round pick coniferous plants:

• Norway spruce
• junipers common and virginian
• cypress
• thuja western

Separately, we single out the yew berry with beautiful, durable, almost "eternal" wood. It has strong bactericidal properties - it kills even those microorganisms that are in the air.

Attention! The wood, bark and leaves of the yew contain the alkaloid taxine and are therefore poisonous to humans and many animals. These beautiful plants will delight you for decades if you take care of the fertility and moisture of the soil for them.

Tall yew bosquets and trellises adorn even Versailles. The undoubted advantage of such a selection of plants is the healing effect that they have thanks to essential oils. They enrich the air with phytoncides throughout the year and have the most pronounced bactericidal and anti-allergic effect.

For hardwood bosquets fit:

• English oak
• elm ordinary
• small-leaved linden
• apple tree berry
• irga round-leaved
• Ginnal maple
• field maple
• Tatar maple

The crown of these plants is plastic and will tolerate a haircut well, and the foliage is so decorative that it will be a worthy decoration of the garden.

Bosquet can also be grown from thorny bushes. For example: cherry plum, Siberian hawthorn, laxative buckthorn, narrow-leaved sucker, common blackthorn will become an insurmountable barrier for uninvited guests, and in winter they will attract a large number of birds to your garden with their berries.

For hedges of medium height the choice is also great:

deciduous species:

• common privet (the species that is most often used, as the bushes grow quickly, are easy to form and form dense beautiful hedges)
• cotoneaster chokeberry and brilliant
• Van Gut's meadowsweet (more often used to create a non-formable flowering hedge)
• sod is white and blood red (has a beautiful dark red shoot color and is easily propagated by sowing seeds before winter)
• vesicle Kalinolistny
• common lilac and hungarian
• mock orange crown
• honeysuckle Tatar and common
• currant golden
• shrub amorpha
• meadowsweet medium and loose-leaved
• acacia yellow
• irga round-leaved
• chokeberry
• snowberry white.

deciduous prickly:

• common barberry and Thunberg (bushes bloom well and give beautiful edible berries, barberry hedges are not very dense)
• Japanese quince (an unforgettable sight during the scarlet bloom in May)
• scarlet pyracantha
• goof narrow-leaved

Pyracantha hedges are very dense. A large number of bright, orange-red berries attract attention and decorate the garden. A variety of junipers will look good in a hedge.

borders grown from low-growing and slow-growing shrubs:

• boxwood evergreen (shade tolerant and ideal for formative pruning)
• purple willow
• Potentilla shrub and Dahurian
• heather
• alpine and golden currant
• japanese spirea, willowleaf, nippon, vangutta
• mahonia holly
• Japanese quince (flowers well and has edible, rich in vitamin C, decorative yellow fruits)
• Japanese meadowsweet and Bumalda

Of the conifers, thuja western is wonderfully suitable. Creating a blooming border, you can plant border and polyanthus roses, tree-like hydrangeas.

For hedges, purchase young plants: 2-3 year old shrubs or trees and 3-5 year old conifers. At correct formation and pruning will result in a dense, evenly leafy hedge of good quality.

If a hedge is laid next to a wall, fences or under the crowns of trees, it is necessary to select shade tolerant plants such as hazel, alpine currant, spirea, some types of hawthorn.

Otherwise, no matter how much effort you spend on its creation, the result will be disappointing: a rare, weakly flowering, faded hedge.

Some plants (such as spruce) do not tolerate side shading well. Hedges from these plants are planted along the north-south line, with such a landing, lighting will be sufficient even for the lower branches. Otherwise, in the absence sunlight, the shaded shoots will begin to die off and the hedge will become sparser.

We have tried to find for you the maximum options for plants. The choice is yours. Proper planting, care, regular pruning and shaping are the keys to success in creating such a landscape element as a hedge. Strive!

Plants for the hedge are selected so that the hedge is of the same height and density. After all different types greens grow unevenly - some specimens stretch upwards, others manage to grow in width during this time.

A full-fledged two-meter hedge can be formed from fast-growing perennials in about 2 years.

Plants are selected so that they fence off the territory, but do not penetrate into the neighboring area. Both perennials and annuals are used for hedges. annual plants it is necessary to plant anew annually, which is not always acceptable. Annuals are also not suitable for fencing. outside site.

fast growing shrubs

Fast-growing bushes are the best solution for forming a dense hedge in a short time. Suitable for fencing the site from the outside specimens with thorns. The result is an impenetrable fence that will qualitatively protect the territory from uninvited guests and animals. Can be picked Not only ornamental shrubs but also fruitful. You will receive both a chic fence and blanks for the winter.

Barberry

A thorny shrub that can grow in any soil and is drought tolerant. Poorly refers to the stagnation of water in the area. Thanks to the thorns, an impenetrable fence is formed.

For hedges, both low-growing and tall varieties are used. The plant is decorative, especially during the flowering period and when the fruits ripen. For the fence you will need a large amount of material. The fruits are suitable for home preparations.

Turn

Unpretentious and undemanding in care. Bushes are compact up to 3 m high, do not require careful pruning. The fence is thick and impenetrable.

Also popular are the following types of perennials.

Climbing (curly) roses

Very decorative during flowering. The fence of them turns out to be impenetrable due to the thorns and the interlacing of the vine. The shrub is recommended to be slightly separated from other flowers. The plant does not tolerate stagnant water. It should not be planted in places where ground water placed closer than 2 m.

The laying of the hedge is carried out in autumn until mid-October. form appearance hedges from the second year after planting bushes. Plants are tied up. A horizontal garter gives only growth in height, a vertical garter gives a large number of shoots. This must be taken into account when forming the density of the fence.

Clematis

Decorative throughout the warm period. For laying the fence, bushes no older than two years are used, they are planted in the fall. Plants grow optimally in open areas. Clematis do not tolerate acidic soils, water overflow and constant dampness, fertilizer with peat and manure. AT hot weather the soil must be protected from overheating by mulching with humus.

In order for clematis to bloom profusely, they must be cut. For the winter, the bushes are covered, since the root neck of the bush is subject to freezing, especially those parts of it that have not yet risen to the surface.

Honeysuckle

Unwanted hedge plants

It is not recommended for hedges to use plants that grow strongly in different sides digging the soil. Such instances include raspberry and blackberry, irga, fieldfare and the like. Such plants should not be planted on the border with another site. They are very difficult to control by pruning.

It is not recommended to plant bushes prone to attack by pests and diseases as a hedge, for example, viburnum. A dense fence during an “epidemic” is difficult to treat with chemicals, moreover, such treatment is harmful to health. Such a fence quickly loses its beautiful appearance due to pests, it is extremely difficult to completely protect it from diseases.

Not recommended for fast growing hedges. non-hardy perennials. Freezing specimens will need to be systematically replaced; in severe frosts, the hedge can completely die. Do not plant plants that need replant periodically. Such a fence gradually degenerates, losing its original appearance.

Landing and care

Initially mark the territory. Material for a fast-growing hedge can be planted in two ways: dig a trench at least 40 cm deep and 60-100 cm wide, depending on the number of rows, or dig holes for each specimen separately. The planting step is chosen depending on the type of plants.

The minimum distance between specimens in a single-row planting is 25 cm for climbing varieties, for shrubs 0.5-1.5 m, for trees - from 1.5 m. With a two-row planting, the planting step is from 0.5 m.

The soil in the hole is recommended to be replaced with a nutrient composition. The mixture is prepared according to the needs of the plant species. The crown of the hedge is formed during the first 4 years. Not all types of plants need pruning after planting. Usually, in the first 2 years, pruning is not used for climbing varieties and some shrubs. Some types of plants, such as conifers, need pyramidal pruning to prevent shedding of the lower branches. All types of plants need systematic watering and top dressing during the period of rooting and growth.
