A small space in the garden and the lack of wide space, unfortunately, is not such a rare phenomenon in suburban and suburban settlements. The design of such territories, as a rule, consists of interesting flower beds that adorn the general landscape of the landscape. A tiered flower garden can be an ideal decor option in a situation like this

The main advantage of this flower bed is its compactness, due to which it does not take up much space, and the owner will be pleased with the beauty and elegance of the flower bed for a very long time. In addition, the beds of the tiered type and the same flower beds do not require very complex care and painstaking treatments.

Layered flower garden - what is it?

A long-tiered flower garden is called a flower bed, which in its shape resembles a small terrace. The tiers, which are one above the other, are usually either three or four. Each of them is placed above the ground and planted with beautiful plants. The materials and different features of the tiered flower beds allow them to highlight the beauty and appeal of any landscape design. Tiers can be made in strict forms of geometric shapes - circles, triangles, squares, etc. As a result, the backyard area will acquire a laconic and modest appearance. In a regular garden style, tiered flower beds are most often made from curb tape and brick. If the garden is made in country style, then the most popular shape of the flower garden is a rectangle, and wooden wicker elements are used as the material. The landscape garden perfectly fits into a low tiered flower garden, often in contact with the fence. Its lines are generally curved and flowing. Also, sometimes, these beds have steps.

Such a flower garden will add variety and flavor to the very strict landscape of the site. Natural stone in this case will be the ideal choice of material. In an avant-garde garden, the flower garden can be very high and have any shape. An interesting option, when some of the tiers are not clearly located one under the other, but are slightly shifted to either side. Metal and plastic are excellent materials for tiers or flower bed fences. In the uppermost tier, you can place an architectural miniature element or some kind of unusual plant. In a regular garden design, a marble sculpture, which will be surrounded by flowers, looks good at the top of a tiered flower garden.

Can you create a tiered flower garden yourself?

In the modern world, a variety of interesting forms for the manufacture of tiered flower beds are sold in stores. Typically, such a kit includes three to five round parts with different diameters. With the help of such a set, you can create a flower garden in a short time and effortlessly, with a minimum of effort. At the same time, if you connect your imagination, you can independently create a flower bed, which will become a real exclusive in the garden.

Therefore, many gardeners and summer residents are interested in the question of how to independently create an attractive flower garden. First you need to decide on the materials for its manufacture. Almost anything can serve them. This is wood, and plastic, and much more, you just need to choose what will best meet the requirements and taste of the owner of the site. As the simplest option, many summer residents use the creation of a flower bed from three tires removed from an old car, agricultural equipment, a tractor or something else. When using wooden material, several boxes are initially formed from the boards, which do not have a bottom. Their size should be different from each other. The height of such boards can reach up to twenty centimeters, but the lower tiers should be slightly smaller than the others.

The area for a long-tiered flower garden must be cleared of the presence of weeds on it. It is best to dig up the soil in general and pull out all the roots of weeds. You can also bait the area with a herbicide. In this situation, it is necessary to fill the flowerbed with fresh, high-quality soil in order to reduce the risk of new weeds appearing for a long time. A large box should be installed on the prepared site, and a drainage layer should be poured onto its bottom. They can even serve as a crumb of brick or expanded clay. Then the earth itself is poured into it, but in this situation you need to leave one or two centimeters of the side free. Then the soil should be tamped. The second box is placed in the upper part, after which it is also covered with soil. The rest of the tiers must be done in the same way.
