A detailed survey of the design object territory was carried out, the existing vegetation composition and condition were determined, the main indicators of soil conditions were surveyed, and the caring possibility for future plantings was determined. Based on the data obtained, a landscaping was developed. The design territory consists of four different plots. For two small fragments № 2 and № 4 (12.3 m2 and 9.4 m2), regular compositions are proposed. It will using cube-shaped shrubs (Pyracantha coccinea "Orange Glow"), ornamental grasses (Calamagrostis acutiflora "Karl Foester" and "Overdam") and flowering perennials (Salvia nemorosa "Caradonna", Lavandula angustifolia "Hidcote"), planted in rectangular shape solid arrays. For fragments № 1 and № 3 (148.5 m2 and 95.5 m2, respectively), free-plan compositions are proposed using the latest varieties and forms of deciduous and evergreen shrubs (Photinia fraseri "Red Robin", Euonymus alatus "Compactus", Berberis thunbergii "Admiration", Physocarpus opulifolius "Diablo", Spiraea japonica "Superstar/Denistar"), ornamental perennial grasses (Eupatorium maculatum "Atropurpureum", Pennisetum alopecuroides "Red Head", Molinia arundinacea "Cordoba"), long-flowering perennials (Perovskia atriplicifolia "Blue Steel", Lavandula angustifolia "Hidcote"). It is proposed to occupy the free space in flower and grasses compositions with ordinary lawn, and in shrub groups - to arrange with pine bark bedding. The implementation of the project will create a harmonious, balanced, attractive area, unpretentious in care, which will have a long-lasting decorative effect throughout the year and can serve as an example and impetus for further reconstruction of plantings on the rest of the street. | ||
