Briefly describe the basic requirements of garden planting bed design

Garden planting bed designs are available in carpet, garden, natural, dotted and courtyard styles. Basic requirements for planting bed design:

① Soil layer thickness: lawns, herbs and flowers can grow in shallow layers, shrubs are thicker than lawns, and trees are thicker, sometimes up to 1m or more.

② Planting bed layout: it should be reasonably arranged in combination with the roof load-bearing structure.

③ Roof garden planting bed structure: including light culture soil, filter layer, drainage layer and roof waterproof layer.

④Roof planting bed drainage slope and pipe drainage system: The drainage slope faces the main drainage channels and outlets, and the outlet end of the drainage pipe should match the roof outlet and maintain a certain slope.

The edge of the high bed can be built with natural stone, bricks, broken tiles, wooden strips, etc. The flat bed is often inlaid with low plants, with a height of 15-20cm.

Planting Bed Design



The selection of plants requires a comprehensive understanding of the ecological habits of plants, and comprehensive consideration of plant height, flowering period, flower color, texture and other characteristics.

Garden Planting Bed Color Design

Color design should skillfully use the color of plants to create space or landscape effects, and coordinate with the environment and seasons.

Garden planting bed level design

The spatial hierarchy of plant configuration is generally divided into three layers: foreground, middle ground, and background.

The main scene should be placed in the middle ground, often appearing in a repeated form.

Prostrate plants with dense foliage are generally selected for the foreground.

The background is a distant view, and tall, spike-shaped or linear plants are mostly selected.

The standard arrangement is: the tallest plants in the back and the shortest in the front or around. (Don't pay too much attention to the principle, innovation can only be achieved if it is properly broken.)

The background mainly plays the role of foil, and the main scene is set off by the distant view, and the main scene is composed of the middle scene. Through these three levels, the sense of space of the flower border can be increased.

color design

The color design of plant configuration is mainly divided into three color schemes: single color design, similar color design and complementary color design.

Monochromatic design is used to emphasize a certain color in the environment and special situations, and is generally used less.

When emphasizing the color characteristics of the season, similar color designs are adopted, such as goose yellow in early spring and golden yellow in autumn, which should be coordinated with the environment.

Complementary color design is mostly used for local color matching of flower borders, making the colors bright and vivid.
