Dwelling in urban areas sometimes seem barren and dry. The presence of hard elements (hardscape) more comfortable home environment atmosphere.

However, do not mean you should give up on that state, is not it? Section, which impressed the heavy environment can intelligently laid out by presenting the elements of the software (softscape) as a counterweight, such as plants and water.
As a result, your home will be a great place because there is a green oasis.

To make your page like a green oasis or a soft rug baby play area, especially if it’s not the presents, petite green plants.

Page or a little vacant land can also be transformed into a playground of soft bath rug in a family neighborhood. “However, to be considered is the selection of space with the type of grass will be planted,” says architect and interior designer who is also Director of Creative Forum Lima, Nugroho Widhi.

Nugroho added, it is important in order not seen the park full of grass. He gave an example, for a small space, a suitable type of grass is planted elephant grass mini. Grass species has small leaves with leaf growth is slow, so it does not need frequent pruning.

In addition to the mini elephant species, other grasses can be planted in a narrow land is grass and grass golf japan. Meanwhile, for the vast land, elephant grass can be selected. Grass is often called elephant grass usually has large leaves with rapid growth. Therefore, if you choose this type of grass, need routine maintenance.

In addition to land use, intake of sunlight are also required to be taken into account. “At least half a day, the grass should get sunlight for photosynthesis,” said Nugroho.

According to him, the location is ideal to plant grass on the east west. The reason, the sun radiates its rays began in the morning until noon in the east, the next day until the afternoon turned to the west.

Planting media and the porosity of the media shall also be noted that the grass is not easy to die. Suggestions him, do not plant grass in the soil which is too dry because the grass will die. The presence of large trees, also should be reduced because of the shadow tree will banish the sun toward the grass, which incidentally is located at the bottom and small.

If the carpet has been laid on the grass of your garden, care and maintenance such as watering, fertilizing, and pruning, should be routinely performed.

In addition, if there are other plants or some kind of weeds in your lawn, you should immediately be revoked because it may interfere with the growth of other grasses, can also damage the appearance of the carpet life.

Meanwhile, landscape architecture Nirwono Yoga said, not all types of grass suitable for all land. Grass is the most “stubborn” because it is easy maintenance is a mini elephant grass, while the type of grass that has a high degree of difficulty in treatment is a type of grass golf.

Agreed with Nugroho, member of the Indonesian Institute of Landscape Architects (IALI) says the main thing that is important to plant grass is considered in land use, namely a minimum of 5 x 10 meters. In addition, the grass certainly should get enough sunlight to survive. “The presence of grass in the park shelters will be a green oasis in the wilderness of the concrete jungle city that increasingly fierce and barren,” he said.

Beautify the park with a variety of ornamental plants and trees are common tropical nuances. Then, what if you also add “accessories” such as rocks, statuary, and ponds in there? Elements of these parks will increasingly complement the beauty of your garden.

Moreover there is the assumption that the less complete a garden if not accompanied by the presence of a statue carved with many functions. Making sculpture is closely related to the park. There should be careful planning before placing it in your yard.

Landscape architect Star Nugroho said, placing the statue in the park is not easy because the statue is a hard material. He is often called artwork.

“If you want to place the statue in the park, it would be better made in advance planning. The statue must be prepared, in other words not just the home is placed,” said Star.

Later when it was installed, the sculpture will be enjoyed by park owners or others who come to the park. The statue did not have to be placed in an empty room. Just to make it more fitted, the distance between the statue and the room shall be noted.

“The point of the room is a place where you can enjoy the statue,” said Star.

High statue should also be adjusted with the width of the room. “For instance, wide room to enjoy the sculpture was three feet from the park. Thus, high image may only be one meter so that residents can enjoy it freely,” he said.

Ornamental statue that we can enjoy from the terrace which is equipped with a set of benches and tables. Still, its foundation is the distance. Sculpture parks are generally located three meters from the gate. Different again when the statue that used only a small ornament, such as dimples where rice pounder. The decorative ornament may be placed anywhere.

High statuettes? Bali such as sculpture? generally only 60 cm. You can put it in park along the stepping stone.

“There is also a statue that serves as a medium of illumination. So, the sculpture is equipped with lights that can illuminate the way. Generally located on the left or right path,” said Star.

Sculpture garden could certainly be exposed to light. There are three ways of exposure. First, the sculpture immediately highlighted using light from the top and bottom so that the artwork can be seen in its entirety. Second, deliberately used as a lighting sculpture. Normally used as container sculpture lamps. Parts used can be the head or hands. Last mode, a statue made of black light or irradiating light from the rear.

Functions that can emit the silhouette of the statue. Sculpture can add variation to the park, especially when combined with ornamental pond. You do not need to find it difficult to create, nurture, and maintain it. Just so you understand how, of course the results obtained would be maximal. Ornamental pond you can make it anywhere, as far as it can beautify the look of the park. Most importantly, you have to balance the scale ponds and sculptures. According to Star, making ornamental pond easy enough. However, maintenance spelled “complicated”.

“Because you have to clean it often. Moreover, the area directly exposed to sunlight, usually causing the smell, so the pool must be drained frequently,” he said.

Architecture ponds and sculptures must also be adjusted. As to peletakannya, residents should be adjusted to the taste and decency with other elements to the aesthetic impression could be obtained. Similarly to the type and size of the statue, should be adjusted to the size, shape of pool, and other ornaments around the pool.
“It takes a balance between the pond and sculptures. Viewed from its form, the statue must have something to do with water. In addition, the need to consider is the size of the pool,” said Star.

Pool size not too big nor too small. “For instance, your pool size of two meters. It would be better if you put a statue the size of a meter,” he said.

If you have a garden large enough, the statue can be used as a pointer jalan.Terlebih occupancy when the distance between the gate and main door far enough

CROP has the power to give peace and shade. The green color of leaves or flowers and colorful fruit makes every blink of the eye becomes so valuable.

Yes, the existence of living beings has provided extraordinary benefits, provided that coupled with good maintenance and regular. That way, the plant would provide shade, oxygen, flowers, fruits, and other freshness. With a “reward” that is, many people love and need the plants.

Some say that love is not meant to have. But for the “creature” on this one, you must have and put it in a good neighborhood so that buildings can be reduced hardscape impression.

Bring the plants not only had to pass through the soil. Plants can be planted in pots media. Appearance of plants in pots look more beautiful and well maintained. Plants were deliberately maintained in order to grow more charming, not only for its owners, as well as for all who see. Unfortunately, the planting media in the pot is very limited, so the space for the roots become more narrow. Therefore, treatment “plus” must be done, as with regular watering, fertilizers and nutrients to give, pay attention to intake of sunlight, and cut or pull out if it grows too shady.

Various types of plants can be planted in container pots, good crops of fruit, flowers, let alone a mere leaf. However, when choosing a pot, pot size must be taken to ensure that enough to grow plants and do not give the impression unbalanced (too big or too small). In addition, it should also be noted pot material. Should choose a strong material and is not easily cracked if you want the plants continue to flourish. Materials that can be selected pots are made from clay, plastic, cement, or rubber tire. “Depending on the tastes of a plant,” said landscape architect Arwindrasti.

Regarding laying pot, says should be paralleled Arwindrasti or grouped based on plant height. Thus, the plants will look neat and beautiful. To plant flowers such as roses, jasmine, and orchid, select a pot that is in accordance with size. Not so great, but must be adapted to the size of the flowers. Therefore, a size too large pots would reduce the beauty of flowers and create the impression that do not match.

Not unlike flowers, size of pots for fruit trees should also be adjusted with large plants. Pot size depends on the growth of the crops. If a large tree, the diameter of the pot should be up to one meter. For example water guava grown large diameter pot could be one to two meters. However, if the plant continues to grow into more large, replace with larger pots or bonsai techniques can be done. Pruning be another option for more compact than a fruit tree, also stimulate rapid fruiting plants.

About potted fruit trees, the most common size and cheap oil is the barrel of the former media. Way, the barrel is split in two, so that the barrel was so short height, about one or two segments. Pot of these barrels will look sturdy and strong.

In addition to potted plants are placed at the bottom, there is also a potted plant that was hung on a pole or a pergola. For this hanging plants, needs to be a rope that is used to prevent the collapse of the pot because the weight of the rope was not strong. In addition to the power cord, power tie should also be considered.
