The most important thing to create a beautiful courtyard is landscape greening, what kind of green plants should be chosen for different styles of courtyards?
01 Garden-type courtyard
Such courtyards can have a certain planning layout, set up stacked stone flowing water, flying fish green bamboo, pavilion trellises, trees and flowers, leisure tables and chairs, etc. together with the building to build a harmonious and comfortable courtyard space, to create an ecological landscape full of natural wild interest.
For example, European-style gardens
European-style gardens pay attention to rules, reflect artificial beauty, represented by French and Italian gardens, and neatly manicured shrubs and molded flower beds are the characteristics of French and Italian gardens. There are fewer types of plant applications in the garden, the application of plants in the four seasons is not obvious, and the changes in the four seasons are not large, giving people a high degree of unity and regular beauty.
Trees: plane tree, maple tree, metasequoia, pond fir, ginkgo biloba, elm tree, yellow kudzu tree, jacaranda tree, duying, cedar, araucaria, willow fir, luohan pine, camphor, banyan tree, osmanthus flower, nan wood, tianzhu gui, etc.
Shrubs: Moon Season, Yellow Thorn Rose, Begonia, Privet, Heather, Four Seasons Gui, Laughing, Sea Tree, Gardenia, Yucca, Southern Bamboo, Coral Tree, Tea Plum, Camellia, Spring Crane, Summer Crane, Western Crane, etc.
Vines: ivy, wisteria, climbing tiger, bougainvillea, lingxiao, climbing tiger, etc.
Metasequoia
Another example is the Chinese courtyard
The Chinese-style courtyard is like a freehand landscape in a Chinese painting, condensing the natural landscape and showing thousands of landscapes within easy reach. The plant morphology pursues nature, rarely trims neatly, and pays attention to the reasonable collocation of trees and shrubs to reflect the three-dimensional spatial layering of plants.
Trees: osmanthus flowers, weeping begonias, pomegranates, plums, luohan pine, orange trees, loquats, etc.
Flower shrubs: Spring, Laughing, Small-leaved Boxwood, Fire Thorn, Brown Bamboo, Safflower Ebony, Cannabis, etc.
Vines: climbing tiger, honeysuckle, ground brocade, lingxiao, wisteria, etc.
02 Wood type courtyard
If your courtyard has a large green area, then you can make a forest type courtyard. There are many tree species to choose from, but the ecological benefits of the landscape should be mainly considered, taking into account the economic benefits, mainly tall trees, supplemented by shrubs. For example, near the kitchen should be planted locust, plane, poplar trees, etc. that can adsorb oil smoke and dust, if there are pets such as cats and dogs in the courtyard, then elm trees and national locusts can be planted near the animals, and locust trees and white wax should be planted near the hall.
At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the collocation of tree shapes and heights to form a sense of hierarchy of plants. Trees with smaller branches should be planted behind the house, and several fruit trees can also be planted in between. Farmers in areas with scarce forests, lack of timber, or harsh conditions such as climate and soil, and weak economic foundations can choose this model first. Priority is given to the cultivation of suitable tree species, and it is also possible to mix multiple tree species, evergreen and deciduous tree species. To pay attention to the management of the density of trees, if the density is large, although it can achieve a better greening effect, but the tree growth will be very slow, poor quality.
03 Forest fruit type courtyard
The beauty of the linguo-shaped courtyard is that you can not only enjoy the beauty of spring and summer, but also taste the delicacies of autumn. In the northwest, several rows of plane trees, elms, willow trees, and locusts can be planted to play a role in blocking the wind, while the southeast can plant grapes, pomegranates, peaches, plums, pears, citrus, etc., and can also plant several toon trees, national locusts, willow trees, and can also plant some flowers in the gaps, and different plants influence each other to constitute the beauty of the garden. Or plant fruit trees in the front yard of the house, and cultivate trees in the back of the house. Courtyards with large green land areas can be planted with fruit trees in combination with greenery to obtain certain economic benefits.
The fruit tree type can be a mixture of a variety of fruit trees, and can also use a single type of single fruit tree, and the tree species are mainly pears, pomegranates, grapes, dates, persimmons, etc. In the process of greening, the above basic modes can be combined to form a new hybrid mode. Cultivated forest varieties can be diverse, the combination effect of trees and shrubs is good, fruit tree varieties should not be more, classified management, forest trees and fruit trees should not be mixed planting, otherwise fruit trees are easy to be shaded and low yields.
04 Floral type courtyard
This model is suitable for those who love and understand the techniques of flower bonsai making and cultivation, but the courtyard occupies a small farmhouse, mainly planting flowers, and planting a few trees in between.
The garden courtyard has a variety of flowering plants, so we can make various color combinations, decorate them with perennial flowers, and different colors of plants and flowers with bright color blocks to decorate the yard.
Flowers can choose tall, medium and short species, and you can also choose some exotic flowers and grasses, or ground planting, or shape potted plants. You can watch the leaves, flowers, fruits and fruits in all seasons and enjoy yourself. You can also sell some flowers and trees and bonsai to get income, and you can also set up a beveled flower table to expand the area of flowers and trees bonsai. If you have the conditions, you can also build a variety of flower sheds or small greenhouses, and develop stump bonsai, mountain stone bonsai, etc., to add aesthetic taste.
