A suburban area has long ceased to be a place only for growing vegetables, fruits and herbs. Today it is not a vegetable garden at all, in its usual sense, but a place for relaxation, aesthetic pleasure and a complete reboot.
A plot with an area of 10 acres cannot be called large, but if you approach the matter practically and prudently, it is quite possible to place all the necessary zones here

We would like to draw your attention to the most budgetary option for the effective design of a summer cottage. Here you can attach anything that you feel sorry for throwing away. Every zealous owner can "boast" of deposits of such materials:
- bald car tires;
You can make a charming horse from an old tire
- plastic bottles, containers and containers, as well as large barrels;
A chic flowerpot made of a metal barrel
- ropes and pieces of tarpaulin;
Rope can be used to weave original pendants for flower pots
- trimming of various boards, thin cuts;
Trimming boards and bars - suitable material for high beds
- remnants of plastic pipes;
PVC pipe garden arch
- metal remnants, netting, thick wire;
Thick wire can be used to make an animal-shaped frame and fill it with stones
- even old shoes and sports equipment can find a "second" life;
Old shoes as flower pots
- wooden container;
Garden furniture made of wooden pallets
- bicycles and carts;
An old garden wheelbarrow will still serve as a flower bed
- old furniture (plastic and wood);
Original flower bed from a wooden chest of drawers
- remnants of building materials, polyurethane foam.

Before proceeding with specific actions, evaluate your stocks, and decide what exactly you can create from them. By the way, in some cases, not only decorative, but also quite functional things are obtained.
For example, in the barbecue area it is quite possible to make a semblance of Moidodyr - a spectacular and convenient washbasin. In the recreation area, build a hammock or hanging swing out of tarpaulin and thick ropes.

Well, in order to appropriately "attach" a trifle - dishes, plastic pipes, etc. - even exquisite imagination is not required. Often they just make a variety of pots from them. Smaller items are combined into groups, and those that are more overall will cope with the role of an independent decor.
In order for the design of a plot of 10 acres to be convenient and beautiful, it is recommended to create a detailed plan.
On the plan, it is necessary to mark the location of all significant objects.
Be sure to apply the following demarcation elements to the diagram:
- Borders from plastic bottles.
- Hedge.
- Original fences.
- Decorative brickwork.
Recreation areas also need detailed planning, for example, the project will definitely find a place for the following objects:
- A hearth for preparing goodies in the open air.
- Children's playground (slide, sandbox, and so on).
- Gazebos, benches, swings.
- Playground for a children's pool.
- Decorative beds and flower beds.
The main advantage of independent work on the design is the ability to embody your own bold ideas and fantasies.

Garden paths
In general, there is no definite answer whether paths are needed in a suburban area. And yet, many agree that they are much more pleasant and practical with them. You are guaranteed not to get dirty, guests will not be lost in conjectures: where exactly you can go. And the appearance of the garden will change immediately.
The material for the track is chosen depending on its purpose.
The more often it is supposed to walk along the path, the stronger and more durable the material should be.
You can decorate the tracks with different materials:
- paving slabs;
- bricks or foam blocks;
- marble chips;
- gravel;
- compacted fine gravel and sand.
The size of the tracks, their location - it depends solely on your personal preferences. You can not stop there, and not only indicate the directions, but also decorate the paths with annual border flowers, or decorative borders.
On areas with a slope, you need to think about the location and design of the steps
Decorative fences
Hedges are a great way to save space on a suburban area and make it unique and different from others.
A hedge is perfect for dividing the site into functional areas
The easiest way to demarcate an area is to use plastic bottles. Containers of the same color must be filled with gravel, sand or soil. A shallow trench is pre-dug, and the bottles are dug into it up to half. You can fill this border with both earth and stone chips. Of course, if you like bottles without filling, then you can use them as well. But, as experience shows, such structures are not so durable.
A border of plastic bottles can be used to restrict a flower bed or garden bed
Garden sculptures and original flower beds
The landscape design of a suburban area of 10 acres is impossible to imagine without garden sculptures.
Well-executed garden sculptures are so spectacular that they can compete even with those purchased in the store. Most of the decor options are made from old car tires. Most often they are cut and unfold in a certain way.
Car tires are suitable for flower beds and flowerpots, and plastic bottles are suitable for palm trees, daisies and other decorative ornaments.
Flower beds with succulents and cacti look very original on a suburban area (by the way, other tiny plants are also suitable). Old shoes, unnecessary hats and umbrellas are used as flower pots. By the way, such "pots" look impressive when mounted. There is an opportunity to create an interesting composition.
Consider what kind of pots you will need to bring into your home during a heavy rain or storm. And install them accordingly.
Carts and bicycles are another way to make a flower bed original and pleasing to the eye. Often, you just need to choose the right place, and the spectacular view appears automatically.

Well, if you are "lucky" and you have a faulty piano at your disposal, do not hesitate, immediately decorate it with a stylish flower bed with a waterfall. Believe me, only a few will have such an element of decor!
Fountain or body of water
The water source on the site is always interesting. And it doesn't matter what exactly you "settled" in your dacha: a mini-pond or a full-fledged fountain. The atmosphere on the site changes immediately.
The decorative pond looks more natural in the lower part of the site
For a mini-waterfall, improvised means are also suitable: an old rubber boat, a large barrel, an excavator bucket (it turns out that it happens!).

But even the mini-pond needs maintenance. For example, it is imperative to regularly change the water so that there is no unpleasant odor and putrefactive organisms do not appear. The capacity of the "pond" is cleaned and the plaque that has appeared is carefully removed.
How exactly to use the site depends only on your desire. You can lay a garden and plant berries and vegetables, or you can create a recreation and entertainment area
So, on a suburban area of 10 acres, there is a place for all the required elements. And the beds, and flower beds, and hedges, as well as decorative borders and spectacular paths - all this will create the desired atmosphere of coziness and comfort. And it doesn't matter which style you choose: modern minimalism or the classics loved by many. If you wish, you can turn your plot into a dream garden.
