The landscape layout allows you to most clearly demonstrate the location of ground elements with the surrounding natural environment. These layouts are widely popular among design engineers and developers. They allow you to demonstrate how a particular building or structure will look together with the surrounding landscape and nature. Also, the landscape layout will allow you to detail the places and areas of common use and recreation. Such places can be embankments, squares, gazebos, etc. Landscape design mockups help our clients demonstrate the development of certain public facilities using walkways, bridges, gazebos, plant patterns and decorations.
Preparatory stage
First of all, it is necessary to allocate a sufficient amount of space for a children’s playground in the country. It is highly desirable that the available area exceeds 6 m2 (a rectangle of 2 by 3 meters), the more spacious, the better and the larger the structure can be installed. You should also take into account the possibility of monitoring what is happening on the site, for example, its visibility from the windows of the house or from the veranda. Or good audibility of joyful children's exclamations. An important element when choosing a place to install a playground is safety for children. There should not be anything dangerous near it: a barbed fence, a greenhouse, a well, electrical equipment and much more that could pose a risk to children.
The children's playground should be located away from traumatic objects
Recommendations for the installation location of the town from a specialist:
Prolonged exposure to the scorching sun has a detrimental effect on a child’s well-being. In view of this, a children's playground at the dacha should be installed in such a place that most of the day it will be in the shade of trees or a country house.
The shade of trees will protect children from direct sunlight
Master class “Bench in miniature” for layout
Our model has a fence and a bridge made of popsicle sticks and paper parasols. And of course, every park should have benches for rest, which is what we will do now.
Materials and equipment
- toothpicks,
- polymer glue or titanium,
- tassel,
- acrylic paint (for painting bench legs),
- any thread for knitting,
- wire,
- pliers,
- hot gun.
Mini vegetable garden
Children's garden.
Let your child feel like a real gardener. Separate a small area of land with stones or wooden blocks, plant flowers, herbs and any other plants there and teach your child how to care for them. Such a garden will teach your child work and responsibility, and a harvest grown with his own hands will be an excellent reward for his efforts.
Crafts for the garden. DIY garden gnomes made of cement
These cute garden gnomes are also very easy to make.
For the gnome we need cement, a metal rod, stocking and rope. We pour the cement solution into the stocking, and insert metal reinforcement into it for strength. By twisting the rope, we form noses and legs. Let's not forget about the beard - this is an additional piece of material under the gnome's nose. Hang the gnome by the top of the cap and leave to dry.
When the cement has dried, remove the gnome and polish the top with a more liquid solution of cement and gypsum. We are waiting for the gnome to dry and we can tint or paint it. Pretty guys, aren't they?
Spider web between trees
Children are usually delighted with rope parks, but some are still afraid of heights, while others are bored with putting on helmets and constantly changing the carabiners when moving. If you have a long and thick rope, and a couple of trees grow near your house, make your own rope park - first weave a web. You can climb on it, swing on its “threads” and jump. An excellent trainer for developing strength and agility - and an activity for children at the dacha, in the village or on a picnic in the forest.
You will need:
- 50 meters of rope (not rope, but thick enough)
- plastic figures or drawings of flies and other insects
Tie a rope tightly around the trunk of one of the trees and pull it very tightly to the other, also wrapping it around the trunk and leading back. Weave a web, sometimes crossing the rope between the trunks and being sure to pull tightly. The better the tension, the longer the structure will last and will not sag and weaken so quickly when children start having fun games on it.
You can entangle not two trees with such a web, but three or even more. Then you will be able to not only climb up and down, but also move in three-dimensional space from tree to tree, which is much more complex and interesting.
One of the game options is to hang painted flies or their plastic figures on the web. Then your “spiders” will be able to hunt them.
Recreation and entertainment park
This is the layout of the park that my son and I presented for the competition “My City Through the Eyes of a Child.” Since we have practically no recreational facilities, it was decided to build a park with attractions and benches. A fountain was placed in the center and alleys lead from it. Today we summed up the results, and we took 1st place among the junior classes.
Here's a closer look at the fountain. They even tried to depict water. There is a rose garden around the fountain.
This is a Ferris wheel, it rotates and there are seats (not visible here)
This is a gazebo, benches, and a flower bed.
There is something like a chain carousel here, it also rotates, and a second flower bed with quilling flowers
Playground covering
Many parents want to sow a lawn on the playground, and this is a good surface: soft, environmentally friendly, and so pleasant to run on the grass with bare feet. On the playground, you need to sow a grass mixture, from which a thick lawn that is resistant to trampling will grow. For “particularly trampled” areas on the lawn, you can buy a special lattice covering - this is not at all ruinous, considering that you will only need a little of it.

As a mother of many children, I will say: there is nothing better for children than Mother Earth. Level, sow with football lawn or a mixture with clover.
But if the slides, swings, and sandboxes on the playground are made of wood, then the lawn will not be suitable for it. The grass will have to be watered daily, and wooden structures will not pass this test. Therefore, sometimes homeowners choose artificial turf for the playground, which is laid on a concrete base. Or they make a “mega-sandbox” by covering the entire area with coarse sand in a layer of up to 10 cm. Like a lawn, it softens the fall, but has the unfortunate property of being “pulled apart” throughout the entire area. Many people now use rubber tiles for playgrounds, especially since the market offers options in any color and even with patterns, but it is quite expensive. You can make a coating with rubber crumbs, this can be ordered for a long time not only in Moscow or a million-plus city, but this is also not cheap.
Our user with the nickname Sashapushkin rolled up his playground in granite screenings. Pie Covering:
- leveling layer of sand coating (7 cm);
- geotextiles;
- granite crushed stone (25 cm);
- dropout (7cm).
Each layer is compacted, and surface drainage is made around the perimeter: a trench 60-70 cm deep and 20-30 cm wide with a slope towards the drainage ditch, at the bottom of which a drainage pipe is laid, wrapped in geotextile and covered with crushed granite. Geotextiles are laid on the crushed stone and soil is placed on it. You can see how it looks in the photo.

Space simulator from a hammock
Does your little one dream of space? Build a simulator with your own hands to train future astronauts! Training on it will teach you to cope with weightlessness and turbulence that await space explorers. The rocket there begins to shake and throw from side to side, and it is better to always be prepared for this.
You will need:
- hammock or piece of thick fabric
- rope
A hammock hung not as usual, but with both ends on one hook at once, will help you prepare for overloads in advance. You can replace the hammock with a piece of thick fabric, securely attaching it with a rope to a hook, horizontal bar or thick tree branch.
Training future cosmonauts involves rotating them around their axis in such a simulator. This exercise is not easy and very serious, useful for the development of the vestibular apparatus. And to check how the children cope with the preparation, ask them after spinning to stand on one leg, close their eyes and touch the tip of their nose.
Do you know what is the most important thing in pre-flight training? That's right: do it on an empty stomach. Otherwise, you know what could happen. The reward for successfully completed exercises can be... delicious tea. Because even after these circles you need to wait a little with food.

Garden Sculpture Ideas
A variety of materials are used to make figurines yourself. Sculptures for the garden can be concrete, plaster, wood, wire, made from household utensils and even cast from foam.
The fence will sparkle with new colors if you decorate it with carved plywood figures of domestic animals and birds. Ceramic pots for indoor plants can also play the role of a good “raw material” for country crafts.
You can create original figures of insects, chickens, geese from balloons and concrete. Consider the master class:
Having soaked a piece of burlap with cement, it must be carefully hung on any cylindrical object, draped beautifully. And after drying, the workpiece should be painted or decorated in some other way. Then you need to fill it with soil and plant the plants you like.
A similar technology is used to create figurines. These can be dolls, animal figures made of rubber or plastic. All that is required is to coat the finished templates with cement mixture and cover with paint.
Today, many good crafts have been invented to decorate the local area. The Internet is full of photos on related topics. You can use a ready-made idea or come up with something of your own based on it, getting a truly unique decor.

Garden fountain with leaves
We will not talk about the principles of creating a fountain in the country. This is a topic for a separate article. We will make leaves from cement.
We need a fairly large sheet, and with the help of cement, we form a copy of it.
After drying, the sheet can be worked out in more detail and painted.
And you will become, almost free of charge, the owner of such a beautiful fountain.
Original do-it-yourself flower beds
Are you not a sculptor at all? But believe me, you can make these creative flower containers.
We need a plastic container, foam plastic, reinforcing mesh. We make a cement solution by adding a spoonful of gypsum directly into the palm with the solution and thus form our “sculpture”
But not all of us are fans of modern abstract art. You can easily make garden crafts in a classic style.
But, because You are not a sculptor yet, you need a template - it could very well be an old doll.
Because If this is not just a decorative garden figurine, but a flower bed in the shape of a girl’s head, then the top part needs to be cut off.
This is a very simple process, and all the examples of this style that you see in the article were made by teenagers in a craft class.
What materials can be used to create crafts?
Before you begin the aesthetic arrangement of your garden or vegetable garden, you need to carefully consider the idea of decoration.
The design solution can be anything: from embodying images of a favorite literary work to creating interplanetary transport. It all depends on the owners of the site, more precisely, on their abilities, available free time for creativity, and the possibilities of the family budget.
Today, crafts for the garden can be made:
When choosing a material you need to consider it:
These criteria will help determine the possible scope of use of this or that type of “raw material” for country homemade products.
Safety
Visitors to the park will mainly be children and teenagers, so safety issues need to be given special attention. All parts of the route are located at a height of at least 2 meters, a fall from which can be very dangerous. To avoid problems and create an excellent reputation for yourself, the owner of the park thinks through a security system. It consists of:
- compliance with GOST when installing attractions;
- providing guests with insurance and helmets;
- developing rules for safe behavior when walking routes and introducing guests to them;
- attracting an instructor to duty at the attraction.
Beautiful crafts for the garden. DIY garden figurines
For those who liked the process of making concrete crafts, we will also tell you a simply stunning technique for creating garden figurines.
Yes, we will need the old doll again!
First, we strengthen the doll using hot glue and a bamboo sushi stick on a heavy stand. By the way, we can also make it from cement. We cut out angel wings from foam plastic and attach them to the doll with hot glue. Let's give the doll a new dress and, with the help of strokes of hot glue, create a more interesting texture on the wings and hair.
We coat our template with a solution of cement and gypsum. Let's paint.
Now, with the help of old toys, you can make almost any garden figurine yourself.
