Landscaping: beginning

Landscaping work: types and prices

The high quality of their implementation is guaranteed by the experience of our employees and compliance with technological requirements. The standard list includes all the necessary services for transforming the territory.
Preparatory work
The complex landscape of some areas (or the complexity of the work to be done) makes it necessary to conduct a comprehensive study of the available space. Survey work may include topographic survey, soil analysis and groundwater level analysis. Typically, the geology of the site is carried out before construction (which is especially recommended for the Moscow region with its complex soils), but its results are also applicable at the stage of work on the development of a summer cottage.
The cost of geology is not a fixed value; in each specific case it is determined based on the location and physical characteristics of the site, the timing and volume of work, as well as the availability of archives of previous surveys.

Excavation
One of the main types of excavation work is leveling. It is carried out if the site has elevation differences of up to 20 cm or a slight slope. To make the terrain even, plowing is used. Alignment is carried out as follows:
- An engineer is examining the site. He chooses the leveling method that best suits the given plot; if necessary, clarifies elevation differences (using leveling surveys). The data obtained will determine the scope of work and its cost.
- The cost is affected by the coverage area and soil type. Light soil is considered to be sandy or garden soil, as well as one that was previously cultivated. Plots with lawn grass, marshy areas, and clay soil are classified as complex soils. The cost of leveling light soil (up to 6 acres) starts from 33-36 thousand rubles; complex soil - from 48-51 thousand rubles; landscaping of the land is carried out using a walk-behind tractor.
- If the height difference is more than 20 cm, a flat surface is created by leveling (transferring) the soil. In this case, additional soil will need to be brought in, and plowing and leveling are carried out using a tractor and other special equipment.

It is impossible to imagine a cozy garden plot without a lot of greenery. Landscaping includes not only the planting of plants, but also the installation of flower beds, seed lawns, alpine slides, and laying of rolled lawns. Plants are grown in specialized nurseries and selected taking into account the characteristics of the site - location, lighting of individual parts, soil composition. A landscape architect will decorate the area in the chosen style, choosing the optimal location for trees, ornamental shrubs, hedges, flower beds and lawns.

Popular Landscape Styles
Landscape design allows you to harmoniously combine all the elements of the site. The choice of style (and the cost of work) is influenced by the characteristics of the site and the architecture of the buildings; The favorite design methods are the following:
- Classic (traditional, regular) style. The basis of the style is ordered lines and symmetry of shapes. In a classic garden you will find exclusively straight paths, trees with a compact, trimmed crown and geometric flower beds. Natural materials are welcome in the design; Forged elements are often used to decorate gazebos, benches and garden lamps.

- English (landscape) style. Lawns and shrubs are trimmed as neatly as in a traditional garden, but paths lose their straightness and ponds take on a natural shape. An abundance of flowers, a gazebo and vertical gardening will give the site a romantic look.
