Key points of villa courtyard landscape design: The first step to create a beautiful courtyard is to do a good job in courtyard landscape design. First of all, we should decide the style of courtyard landscape and plan according to environmental conditions, family composition and maintenance ability. 1, the choice of courtyard landscape design style There are many different styles in the courtyard, and the basic style is generally determined according to the preferences of the owners. Courtyard styles can be simply divided into two categories: regular style and natural style. Nowadays, private courtyards can be divided into four schools: Asian Chinese, Japanese, European French and English. However, there are various styles and types of architecture, such as the gap between classical and modern, the contrast between avant-garde and tradition, and the difference between East and West. The usual practice is to roughly determine the type of courtyard according to the style of the building. In the past, the miscellaneous wood garden-style courtyards and tea farms of typical Japanese courtyards often integrated natural scenery into the courtyards, giving people a sense of elegance and tranquility. However, it is difficult to unify Japanese-style courtyards with Western-style buildings, and Japanese-style buildings are also incompatible with regular courtyards. It is necessary to consider the coordination of courtyard landscape design style and architecture. Courtyard color is also one of the factors that affect the design style of courtyard landscape. One skill of color planning is to determine the main color of the courtyard according to the building color and surrounding environment. Leaf-viewing plants are very important in landscape design. In European countries such as Britain, it is natural to plant some foliage plants in flower beds. Leaf-watching plants with white spots embedded in green are more colorful than pure green plants, such as snow Ye Lian with silver leaves and wormwood in the morning mist, which can set off the flower beds more brightly. Other colorful plants with orange, red and purple leaves can form a strong contrast and increase the brightness of the tone. In addition, the change of leaf shape and the difference of texture can also be considered. Summer is a season with a wide variety of flowering plants. Therefore, wild perennial grass flowers can be used to decorate diverse colors. In summer, even if you use a variety of color combinations with high brightness, you won't feel messy. For example, colorful snapdragon with different colors can be made into a number of lively color blocks, during which some silver-leaf plants or white snowballs can be dotted to neutralize them. 2. Influence of courtyard drainage and lighting conditions Drainage, lighting, ventilation and soil quality will affect the growth and development of plants, especially whether the light is sufficient is an important condition to determine which flowers can be planted. Generally speaking, it is ideal to build the garden in a place with good lighting conditions and facing south, so we must first understand the geographical conditions of the villa courtyard, such as the sunshine time in a day, the treatment of the shady and sunny surfaces, etc. On this basis, plant species suitable for these environments are selected. And shady places can also be used for courtyard landscape design, such as shady gardens for viewing. 3. The needs of family members The style of quadrangles can also reflect the lifestyle of families living here. Families with only two working couples often only plant flowers or perennial flowers in the yard because they have no time to maintain flowers and plants; In the courtyard with children's families, lawns should be laid where toys can be placed, and some colorful annual and biennial flowers and bulbous plants should be planted; If someone in the family is interested in plant conservation and management, they can plant some seasonal flowers to create a perfect ornamental garden. In a word, the landscape style and plant species should be selected according to family composition and age structure. 4. A larger courtyard can choose a wider range of courtyard landscape styles, because the larger the area, the more kinds of plants can be selected, and the collocation method can be more complicated, but the overall consistency must be considered when planting to avoid conflicts. However, the usable area of small houses is limited, so there should be a careful configuration plan and less plants. However, regardless of the size of the courtyard, the pavement of the road is essential. The general courtyard can be paved with natural stone or various tiles and black and white pebbles. The layout of the courtyard is very important. People who advocate simplicity can plant some flowers and plants in the courtyard or make a green nursery. If you want to achieve a more ideal landscape effect, many people will ask professional designers to design and produce courtyards and make a unique courtyard landscape design style. For example, the use of tall trees with winding paths makes people feel "deep in the courtyard"; The use of curved arches, carved railings, cylindrical scrolls and carefully trimmed bushes will vividly reproduce the European style.
