Registration of the territory near the bath. Landscaping: the subtleties of creating a flower garden. Requirements and standards for the construction of a bath in a summer cottage
The bath is an integral part of many cultures. Russian, including. It is a guarantee of health of the body and soul. Here you can have a great time with family and friends, improve your health, relax. Every year, the construction of a bath on a suburban area is becoming more and more popular. It can be both a separate building and part of the house. The traditional location of the steam room is a separate building located in a remote part of the courtyard, hidden from prying eyes. Previously, the location of the bath was determined by the proximity of the location of the water source. V modern world, where landscape design can fulfill any desire, a place for construction can be chosen based on the general style of the landscape.
The building can be executed in the traditional style: as a wooden frame. If the style of the site is modern and progressive, then the building may look completely different, bringing the familiar image to new level. A mandatory procedure after the bath is swimming in a cool pond. This must be taken into account during construction.
The project can be of two types: with a pond outside or swimming pool inside the building. The first option involves a convenient and short path to the reservoir, which is framed by a dense hedge of non-deciduous plants. Such a natural "screen" will avoid discomfort and awkward situations. In the building with a pool there is also a steam room, a shower room, a dressing room and a relaxation room.
Decoration Materials
The steam room, in any case, is finished with natural wood that does not emit resin and has good thermal conductivity. The tree is in no case amenable to chemical treatment. When choosing a type of wood, it is worth considering its color and harmonious combination with the main shades of the room. Total wood finishes can be effectively diluted with natural stone masonry. A part of the wall made of this material will not only look original, but also contribute to greater heat conservation. During construction, the number of people who will use the steam room is taken into account. From this factor, the area of \u200b\u200bthe building is calculated.
The most convenient materials for showers and pools are tiles and stone. For the pool, it is optimal to install a heating system. In your free time from using the steam room, you can heat the water and use the pool in the traditional way. The use of several types of stone and wood gives originality and a special charm to the room.
The external arrangement of the bath can repeat the architectural forms of the house or be individual. Most often, the outside is trimmed with wood and stone. In the regular style, the building has a fairly strict outline. The cottage style represents the steam room as a room made of bricks and tiles.
Paths from the house to the steam room are laid with stone or tiles. Near the building itself, it is better to fill the soil with concrete. If the bathhouse is built in a real Russian style and is heated with firewood, then a wood-burning house is equipped next to the wooden room. It is also perceived as a colorful object of decoration.
Water
A pond or pool is equipped specifically for a bath.
If there is a natural source of water on the site, then the room is built next to it. If the lake is artificial, then it is located closer to the place where the steam room is being built.
The pond must be equipped with a pump with a cleaning filter. The water must be clean. The presence of several light sources is important. Spotlights are often used, located at the bottom of the lake and along its edges. As a functional element of decor, wooden railings and comfortable steps to the middle of the depth of the pool lead to the pool. If its territory is large, then a wooden bridge with lanterns can be built over it.
Plants in combination with a bath
When choosing plants, preference is given to evergreen, non-deciduous species. The ideal crop is needles. It is used for a hedge that frames the paths from the bathhouse to the pool and the reservoir itself. This is a beautiful and reliable protection from prying eyes, and uninvited guests. In addition, the needles emit very useful phytoncides, which enter the human body much more actively after a steam room. In winter, the needles not only retain all their protective and decorative properties, but also become even more spectacular with the advent of snow.
For the summer season, a flower bed with primroses (daffodils, crocus, primrose and many others) is laid out around the building with the steam room. If the territory is large, a recreation area is created next to the bath. A gazebo with a swing and a bench is installed on it. Bright fragrant flowers will create a real spring atmosphere. Planting flowers in containers is allowed. To create a real Russian flavor, old tin buckets, wooden tubs, watering cans act as containers.
As at the entrance to the bath, you can plant flowering shrubs (, lilac, jasmine). It is undesirable to plant large trees near the building. In the steam room, one or two small windows are allowed, and usually this is a sufficient dark room. It is preferable that the sun's rays fall into these windows, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Suitable varieties will be:
- Linden;
- pear;
- plum;
- dwarf maple.
Fruit-bearing trees are most valued next to the Russian bath. As a symbol of wealth and fertility of the Russian land.
Near the reservoir it is appropriate to land with herbs: cilantro, mint, lemon balm. Their fragrance will be carried in a pleasant wave to the bathers. A large pond can be decorated with reeds and plants that love water. It is important to ensure that garden plantings and the water surface are separated by a coastline.
Decorative items in and out of the bath
A wooden well will become an amazing and truly colorful object of decor. It does not have to be real and functioning. It is enough to build its outer part, as similar as possible to the original. Near the bath, this element will look very natural and organic. As if they were about to leave the steam room for a bucket of ice water. The place, near the well, is decorated with flowers, shrubs (lilacs, raspberries, grapes). The well should have a small roof, decorated with carvings and wooden plant elements (leaves, flowers, clusters). A wooden bucket at the well will complete the image.
There is also a place for a waterfall near the bathhouse. But not in an exquisite aristocratic style, but in a simple, rustic one. To do this, you can use the same imitation of a well. A pump is installed inside, which will supply a stream of water from an inverted bucket.

After all, landscape design not only creates a beautiful picture, but also affects the overall perception, mood and quality of relaxation. Today we will look at different styles of landscape design.
We define the best styles of landscape design.
Before purchasing materials and starting work, you need to decide in what style you want to make a plot near the bath. The bath should naturally act as the semantic center. And all other elements and details should emphasize her style, beauty and the mood and impression that she makes. Try everything: both the garden and the yard, to plan so that they require minimum care, because you created a bath for relaxation, and not for work.
Masters of landscape design identify several styles that are most suitable for organizing the area around the bath.
Clear lines of a regular style.
Men like the regular style more, because its characteristic features are clear lines, strict forms and a logical arrangement of all elements.. Centerpiece this style is a bath. Its forms must be strict, but they are made of bricks or blocks, without additional frills. Bushes or pots with flowering plants are seated strictly along the lines or in a checkerboard pattern, starting from the center. Places for rest, a barbecue oven, benches and other elements are placed between green spaces.
From shrubs, it is better to choose similar to oriental ones, so that they grow slowly and require cutting less often. It is better if they are in geometric form, you can make whole green labyrinths. If you have a terrace, you can make it into several levels and combine it with bridges and a gazebo.
In order to implement such a variant of landscape design, it is better to draw up a site plan on a computer in advance and calculate everything.
Moorish design option for lovers of a measured rest.
In this design, the center of everything is dome-shaped barbecue gazebo . On the territory you need to plant more plants with pleasant spicy aromas and arrange more benches and sunbeds. It is not necessary to equip the paths, just leave the grass. In the secluded corners of the gardens, equip several mini-fountains, in addition to aesthetic pleasure, they will provide sufficient climate humidity and coolness. Feel the real pleasure of visiting the thermae, enjoy the peace and tranquility surrounded by a pleasant landscape.

This styling option is considered the most comfortable. No special restrictive framework and rules, just a couple of tips. When choosing materials for finishing a bath, give preference to wood: logs or siding. When designing a territory, also choose stones and wood . To equip the paths, use stone, the area in front of the building and the garage can be concreted. Furniture for the garden, choose wooden, light colors, ideally white. When constructing a firewood rack, a barbecue oven and other elements, choose massive forms so that they look solid and sound. Beautiful swings, sun loungers, benches - all this will be appropriate. The main leitmotif of this style is comfort and convenience.
Minimalism with soul is the style of a Japanese garden.
If for you a bath is not just a place where you can improve your physical health, but a place where your soul can rest, then good option Japanese style for you. With its help, you can turn a long-awaited visit to the bathhouse into a real feast for the soul and mind. Spirituality in everything, in furniture, in the garden, in decor - this is the basis of this style. Green and gray colors predominate, with rare splashes of red and lilac, in the form of flowering bushes. The beauty of such a landscape will be emphasized by a bathhouse made of profiled timber.
Artificial reservoirs are not made in such a garden, they are imitated with the help of “dry” rivers and streams made of stones. But wooden bridges over them need to be made. Here you can relax, take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, think about life and can find the meaning of life.
True, this option is not entirely suitable for large noisy companies, especially for families with children.
Return to tradition - rustic style.
Such a landscape design is most suitable for a real Russian bath. A site with such a design looks a little careless and abandoned. Neatly stacked firewood, next to them a couple of logs that seemed to have fallen, somewhere near the tree a wheel from a wagon, the grass is a little higher than usual and real fresh country air. Equip a pond that is as similar to natural as possible, and make a small mill near it, plant beautiful flowers in watering cans.
Such a site does not require constant care, which is convenient if you do not plan frequent visits to the bath. A log bath will look very harmonious and stylish in such an environment, as well as a children's house. On such a site, there will be no need to worry that they put the brazier in the wrong place, or the children destroyed something.
Everything is natural and at ease, and the rest in such a bath will be the same.

It should be created in such a way that it requires minimal care, since you will come to the summer cottage for recreation.
The choice of style for the area around the bath
Consider the most popular styles from landscape designers that will help you competently organize the area in front of the steam room:
- Regular
This style is more suitable for the male half, who loves such an extraordinary way to decorate their backyard. In the central part of the territory there is a steam room, which has rather strict forms, the material for its construction is brick or block. From the bath, it is necessary to plant plants in a checkerboard pattern, and between them there is a recreation area, for example, a gazebo and a pond. Plants are best planted as orientals, they grow rather slowly and do not need to be cut. The form can be given a strict. At the same time, this form is quite relevant today. A small labyrinth, which is created from various plants, will also complement such an interior well. The existing terrace can be made from several levels and connected using bridges and gazebos. To translate this style into reality, you first need to draw out the territory on paper and only then begin to translate it into reality.
- Marvitan
This style is indispensable for an unforgettable holiday. In this style, in the central part there is a domed gazebo, which has a barbecue. And then you need to arrange spicy varieties of plants so that your garden is fragrant. As many benches as possible should be placed throughout the garden. At the same time, there should be minimal care for landings. Tracks are not required in this style. This style is characterized by a calm unhurried rest along with bath procedures.
- cottage
Rustic style dominates here, where many stones prevail. This style is comfortable. There are no strict lines here, you can use some tips.
- Always choose stones and wood for decorating the site, in particular, when finishing a steam room: you can choose a steam room made of wood or close it with high-quality siding.
- Paths must be laid out of stones in front of the territory of the bathhouse or garage.
- It is better to choose all garden furniture from wood, preferably white.
- The barbecue oven and other furniture should be heavy, solid.
- Bright garden gnomes are out of place here.
- A large swing for a garden with a well is also welcome in this kind of design.
The main principle of this stylistic direction is convenience.
- Japanese
If for a summer resident the steam room is a whole religion and you have built it for years and with great love, then it is better to opt for the Japanese style. Its main principle is simplicity, an abundance of stones with perennial undersized plants. Everything is practically green and gray, and only in some places bushes should grow red. And in particular, it looks beautiful in front of a steam room. There should be no water in this style, although there is an imitation: something like “dry” streams and rivers that are made of pebbles. And through them - bridges made of wood. And everything in this style is aimed at reflection, and therefore, if the steam room is a real outlet for you after the bustle of the city, where there is a frantic rhythm, this is your option. And if you decide to take a break suburban area with a company of comrades, then pay attention to the following style.
- Russian village
In this landscape design, there must certainly be a real Russian bath. In such a territory, time seems to stop, and it looks like an abandoned one. In some areas, firewood for a steam room is neatly laid out; in others, a huge wheel from a cart is leaned against a tree. Also in this style there should be flower beds from various varieties of flowers, pots for such plants should be from buckets or watering cans. This is the perfect style for a front yard in front of a steam room.
Any of the above options has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is up to the gardener to decide which one to choose.
Harmonious landscape design is capable of emphasizing the taste and individuality of the owner of a country house. It is not necessary to hire an expensive specialist. Regardless of the area of the site, it is interesting to plan and design the territory yourself, based on your own preferences. A verified approach deserves placement on the bath site. To learn more about the important details of landscape design and admire the harmonious design of the territory, the information below with a gallery of current photos will help.
The main stages of territory design planning
It is easier to design a site from scratch, when the territory preserves the pristine purity of nature. Having a home in most cases is not a hindrance. But the habitable space is also amenable to transformation, the main thing is to develop a clear concept. Therefore, landscape design always begins with planning, which includes the following steps:
- A plot diagram is drawn on a sheet of paper, conveying its shape and dimensions in scale.
- The existing structures are applied (house, garage, bathhouse, outbuildings).
- Areas that are planned to be developed for various needs are marked (greenhouse, playground, recreation area or swimming pool).
Comment! If the site is small, you should prioritize in advance.
Heaps of buildings and decorative elements do not contribute to the formation of a harmonious landscape design.
- The scheme should contain all significant perennial plantations, after which it is supplemented with new elements.
- Markings with summing up communications contribute to the competent placement of new objects. This is especially true for baths and greenhouses, the functioning of which will require the presence of light, water and, in some cases, gas.
- Comfortable pastime on a suburban area is impossible without the design of the tracks. According to the rules of landscape design, they must connect all buildings together and have a single style solution.
- Flower beds are always bright design notes. The diversity of forms of flower beds will allow you to choose the most suitable type for a particular area.
When drawing up a landscape design plan, it is desirable to have information about the characteristics of the soil and groundwater. This also matters when laying out flower beds, building a bath or arranging a garage.
Features of choosing a place for a bath
A country holiday cannot be considered complete if there is no bathhouse on the site. When choosing or drawing up a project, they are guided by the size of the plot planned financial costs and strive for style compatibility with residential building. It is very important to find a suitable place for the bath on the site. Rest is invariably associated with a peaceful atmosphere, while it is advisable not to disturb the neighbors. Guided by the following recommendations, it will be easier to choose a suitable site for a bath:
- Despite the seeming convenience of being near a reservoir, the bath should be at a distance. This will avoid undermining the foundation and the negative consequences of floods. An exception may be a bathhouse on a hilly area, and then after a thorough exploration.
- It is unreasonable to put a bathhouse near the road, dust and noise can disturb any atmosphere, even an expensive design of the room will not help.
- A bath with high-quality ventilation and a well-thought-out sewer system will protect the site from sewage pollution and unpleasant amber.
- It is preferable to place the bath on the south side of the site, so the building will be protected from the wind and have better lighting. The door with access to the south will save the strength of the owners of the site in the winter, when it becomes necessary to clear the snowdrifts.
- Bath windows are recommended to plan with access to the west. Evening rest and admiring the sunset - what could be more romantic.
- A bath near a neighbor's plot is contrary to building codes. To achieve organicity in landscape design will allow a bathhouse located among the trees.
- If the material for the construction of the bath is wood material, it is better to install a building that is unsafe in terms of fire away from home.
- To prevent contamination of the source of drinking water with runoff from the bath, a gap between structures of at least 15-20 m will help.
In addition to a properly selected site, the external design of the bath plays a significant role. It is desirable that the walls of the house and the bath are made of the same material. This is especially true for landscape design, if the building is in plain sight. The exterior of a bathhouse hidden in the thick of green spaces is less important. But it is better to choose a roofing material similar to the main building. This contributes to the harmonious perception of the design of the site as a whole.
Paths and lawns

Preliminary stage - planning
Before proceeding with the arrangement of a summer cottage, it is worth studying the recommendations of experts regarding the layout. This will allow you to use the area most rationally, avoiding the fact that everything will be located chaotically, inconveniently, ugly.
The design of the suburban area is based on the allocation of characteristic zones
So, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the code building codes and rules (SNIP). From there you can get useful information, for example, about the recommended distances between buildings, fences, plantings. For example, experts advise placing a garage closer to the gate.
The main types of layouts of a summer cottage
Pay attention to the shape of the suburban area, its relief. The location of hills and ravines here can significantly "correct" the overall design. The relief is important to take into account when placing the foundation of the house and utility buildings.
Another important point is the type of soil: it affects which green spaces will take root in the summer cottage. When initially the soil is not sufficiently enriched with organic matter, most likely you will have to additionally fertilize it, import black soil. The side of the world where the site is located, the level of natural light are important, firstly, when choosing plants, and secondly, determining the location of buildings.
Site planning is a creative process, depending on the flight of fancy and your wishes, but generally accepted standards must be observed in order to avoid typical mistakes.
It is imperative to provide for the arrangement of the drainage system, especially if the summer cottage is located in a lowland. It will remove excess water from the dwelling and, as a result, the soil will not sag, it will be possible to avoid washing away the foundation of the building, the entire landscape will remain in its original form.
Zoning of the territory
Because the area under consideration land plot large enough to fit six zones. It is not necessary to use all of them when planning an allotment, but it is worth listing them.

Living sector
This includes the house plus outbuildings and a garage. Speaking of the garage: it can be located at some distance from the living quarters, built in or attached nearby. Each option has its own advantages. The main advantage of the first one is that no smells (gasoline, exhaust gases, etc.), sounds from the garage will be heard at home. In favor of the second or third solutions is the fact that this way you will save space, money (a separate garage will cost more), besides, in winter you can get to the car directly from home. True, you will have to make sound and heat insulation.
Residential can be located in the depth of the site or with access to the street, but not closer than 3 meters from the road

Here are sheds for poultry, domestic animals; premises where feed, inventory, any workshops, etc. will be stored.
If you want to hide an unpresentable look outbuildings plant them with trees
A barn can also be a landscape decoration
Garden or vegetable garden
According to the recommendations of experts, the optimal location for the garden is on the south side of the plot, where there should be no buildings and tall trees that cast a shadow on it. For the location of the beds of vegetables, the cardinal points and the type of soil play a big role: for example, when the soil is clay, they should be placed from north to south, sandy - from east to west. It is advisable to plant large trees at least 2 meters from the fence so that they cast a shadow to the neighbors to a minimum. Fruit trees are usually planted from the east or southeast side, performing a purely decorative function - from the north.
Fruit trees should not be planted too close together.
The garden should harmoniously fit into the overall design of the site.
Rest zone
There are gazebos, benches, tables, barbecue, barbecue oven and more. In addition, flower beds, flower beds, decorative fountains or ponds are usually placed here.
Rest area next to the house
A place to rest can be located in the center of the site, away from the fence and the road
Bath, sauna
This building occupies a separate place in the zoning of the territory, since it cannot be attributed to an obligatory element of the overall design of the site, however, there are a lot of people who want to equip it. You can place it in the same way as a garage - either attached to a living space, or built separately. The combined option, again, is more economical in every sense, more convenient: you don’t need to separately make water supply, a shower room, a bathroom, and besides, you don’t have to run home from the bathhouse in the cold. However, there are drawbacks: without suitable hydro-, thermal insulation, high humidity and temperature can damage the dwelling itself, due to stove equipment, the likelihood of fire increases, and if the ventilation is installed incorrectly, it is easy to get carbon monoxide poisoning.
The best option would be a location away from home
If there is a bathhouse on the site, then you need a place to store firewood
Playground
A family with children or a replenishment is planned cannot do without it. The safety of the child is paramount in its equipment. Therefore, it should be placed where good review so that children are constantly supervised. It can be fenced off from the rest of the territory by means of a small decorative fence, a hedge. Given the age of the children, the playground can be equipped with a slide, a sandbox, a swing or some kind of horizontal bars: bars, metal ladders, crossbars, and so on.
The playground should be located in such a way as to freely look after the children from the house, and from the gazebo, and from the garden beds

Features of planning and zoning
There are a number of planning principles that should be considered when landscaping a site. We are talking about the distances between buildings, the location of different zones, including relative to the cardinal points.

So, the dwelling should be at least 20 meters away from the toilet, garbage cans (if any), 15 meters away from outbuildings (sheds, aviaries, other premises for birds, animals), 7 meters from the compost pit . If the structure contains combustible materials, the dwelling is built 15 meters from other buildings, for non-combustible materials 6 meters are enough.
Zoning scheme of a plot with a house, a separate garage, a bathhouse and a utility block
Now about the cardinal points. It is recommended to place a residential building on the north side of the site, and it is preferable that the windows of the main premises face east and west. If you plan to add a veranda, then it is better to place it on the south side of the dwelling - then it will be cool there in summer and warm in winter.
Flowerbeds, fountains, garden figurines, other elements of landscape design

In second place in terms of frequency of use when decorating the territory near the house are flower beds. Standard solutions not suitable? Then, instead of flower beds, you can plant flower beds on free land. They do not have clear boundaries, so you can make absolutely any shape. They are located between trees, shrubs on the lawn, there are also curbs, where plants are planted along the paths. By choosing the right plant varieties for planting in flower beds, flower beds, you can ensure their almost year-round flowering. The main rule here is also moderation: a lot of different colors will create the impression of chaos, disorder.
Flowerbed near the house

Another element of landscape design is paths, paths that separate different zones, while at the same time providing a convenient passage between them. Most often they are paved with garden tiles or decorative stones.
For a garden of absolutely any style, combined paths lined with various materials are suitable.
Water objects are another option for decorating the space near the house. Even if there are no natural reservoirs in your possessions, if you wish, you can create artificial ones: a pond, a fountain, a lake, or even a small waterfall.
Even a small pond in any design will bring peace and relaxation to you and your loved ones.
On the site you can place garden sculptures. In their manufacture, concrete, stone, gypsum or polyurethane foam are used. The style of such sculptures should be combined with the overall design of the site. Experts advise using a moderate number of figures so as not to oversaturate the space and everything looks original, harmonious, stylish.
Do-it-yourself garden decorations are the soul of the site, its zest and charm
There are many options, but you don't have to have all of them. Sometimes one or two elements, combined in style, make the area near your house much more attractive than many different ways decor.
