Landscape design around the gazebo! 80 garden and backyard ideas!

A gazebo in the garden or on a summer cottage is a place to relax, where you can merge with nature, enjoy the silence and the surrounding landscape, hide from the rain and listen to the singing of birds. However, if you place the gazebo in the wrong place, then the feeling of beauty, a sense of comfort and coziness will be spoiled. That is why it is important to correctly position the gazebo, choosing the optimal place for it.

Features of choosing a place for a gazebo

Before you start building a gazebo, you need to make a plan where the entire land plot and the place where the future structure will be located will be displayed. Depending on this, the style of the gazebo is chosen, as well as its main functional tasks are determined.

For what purposes can the gazebo be used? Usually homeowners erect this structure in order to there:
– Enjoy nature and the surrounding landscape in complete silence.
– Receive guests and gather them at the dining table outside the house.
– Prepare food by arranging a kitchen surface or a barbecue oven in the gazebo.

It is worth noting that the gazebo is not an addition to the landscape, but its key figure, which should look spectacular. When choosing a style, it is better not to experiment and make a gazebo in the same style as a residential building in order to preserve the integrity of the architectural ensemble in terms of colors, roofing material and the shape of structures. In the optimal case, the gazebo should be located where the surrounding view is best, because picturesque landscapes should open from it, and not a fence or a cesspool.

The gazebo can be located in such places:

– Near the playground.
– In a green area with extensive vegetation.
– Near a waterfall or an artificial pond.
– On the hill.
– In the corner of the plot or at the intersection of paths.

When choosing a place to install a gazebo, the size of the plot plays an important role. If the area of the plot is only 6-8 acres, then it is extremely difficult to find a place for the construction. To place such a structure in the center of the courtyard is the worst solution, since the gazebo will emphasize the lack of free space, will interfere and create uncomfortable sensations. In the middle of the plot, it is best to leave a wide path or lawn, but the gazebo should be located in the farthest corner of the plot, hiding it with tall shrubs.

If the garden plot has an area of over 10 acres, then unlimited possibilities open up to the homeowner, because the gazebo can be located almost anywhere in the yard. Also, the location of the building depends on where the private house is located. If it is far from the entrance gate and there is enough space in front of the house, then the gazebo can be placed in front of the house or on the side of it. The only option that is better not to consider is the installation of a gazebo near the road. You can hide the structure from prying eyes with the help of climbing plants, for example, roses, wild grapes or lianas.

As mentioned earlier, the gazebo can become a key figure of the site, gathering all the attention of the guests. It is for this reason that it is important to pay maximum attention to her and the landscape around her. For a harmonious appearance of the structure, it is necessary to combine it with vegetation, creating a single composition.
