Creating a mountaineering with your own hands is due to a specific algorithmCompliance with which guarantees the successful construction:
- Selection of space in accordance with the aesthetic considerations and requirements of plants.
- Determination of sizes, creating a plan and scheme of the Alpine slide.
- Selection of stone, checking it on quality and purchase.
- Recreation of the alpinory contour in the form of a graphic pattern on the selected area.
- Full removal of the top layer of the soil.
- Making a mixture of soil with the addition of impurities and fertilizers.
- Devracy system, if necessary for specific plants.
- Planning the location of plants on tiers.
- If necessary, the arrangement of water tank (reservoir).
- Final selection and gradual soil planting with decorative plants.

How to make an alpine slide with your own hands. Step-by-step instruction
Consider step by step How to create your own mountaineering. While choosing a suitable place need to be guided Preference is well lit, a bit sublime over the overall level. If there is a slope or hill on the site, it is desirable to choose this particular area. It is advisable to place an alpine slide away from trees or not picturesque objects that can distract attention from the garden or shade it in a disadvantageous light. It is undesirable to enter the flower garden shadow from high items.
If the mountainarion is in the shape of a slide, you will have to make up and slopes, they will all be focused on different sides of the world, respectively, some plants will receive more heat and sunlight, and others may not be enough. It is desirable from the side to which they will look more often, to make a more sublime hill, and the rest of the terrain can be made more common.
Dimensions and general contours slide
Despite the ideas of Alpinaria in the imagination, in reality he must be combined with other objectsharmoniously fit into the environment. There should be no surplus of stones, the overall style of the garden or nearby buildings cannot be changed.
If a plot is located for several acres, then you can create several temperate alpinarias or one large, located at least 5 m². In height, it can take up to 60 cm and higher, but it is worth remembering that a small in height flower garden will be noticeable much less than tall and lush.
If small plants sit down, it is impossible to use too large or unusual stones, as they will focus on themselves. As much as possible, interesting contours should be made, since low planting of different colors will be similar to the mosaic.
Choosing a suitable stone
The size of the stones is determined by the parameters of the mountainaria and the inquiries of the owners. If any stones are not suitable for standard parameters, however, I liked the site owners very much, you can try to apply them reasonably, and if necessary, irregularly disguise with high plants or plantings with lush leaves.
Recommended in one composition to use stones of a certain breedwithout diluting them with others in composition and contours. Typically, local or constantly sold rocks are used, since they are easier to purchase and they are relatively inexpensive. It should be remembered that the stones should be combined as harmoniously with the surrounding terrain.
Plants should harmoniously look with stones, It is advantageous emphasizing only positive qualities of each other. The final composition should first like the owners themselves, so you need to select all the designs for your own taste, guided by the general ideas about the optimal proportions.
Slotted stones with too sharp edges are a marriage, such materials need to be immediately postponed. Ideal the use of absolutely smooth, trimmed, for example, river stones.
Beautifully looks like stones that are covered with moss. They can be found in the forest, so get free. Often they look much better than purchased.
Application of contour
The outlines of the future flower garden should be placed directly on the site, repeating all possible inaccuracies. Garmonicity of the flower bed with the rest of the plant is evaluated in advance. This stage is considered one of the most difficult in the process of creating an alpine slide. It requires increased attention, so when it is fulfilled, it is necessary to focus and good think out the possible options for the change of contour.
The outlines can be postponed using a bright rope. It is advisable to pre-knock the pegs, and to twist the thick rope on them, bypass the size of the composition with all possible views of the review. If the boundaries are needed, it is better to perform it right away, reinstalling the pegs. It is possible to evaluate the result in place, if necessary, repeating once again.
Removal of the top layer of the soil
The layer is removed neatly. It needs to be postponed, but not throw away, as it can be useful as a substrate, which may be required to fill out noticeable and not planted emptiness between adjacent stones. The soil is removed by 30 cm, sometimes more. Parameters are individual. It is necessary to focus on the remnants in the land of plants. Where they are, it is located exactly the fertile layer.
Work should be carried out when the earth is moisturized not much. It is desirable that it was quite dry, had such a composition that could be easily sifted.
If on the site a lot of weeds of the cereal species, you need to use herbicides for their irrevocable destruction. If this is not done, then the seeds can easily germinate on a fertilized soil, preventing fully developing new, young plants.
Soil mixture
To properly cook the substrate, You need to take the components exactly in three equal parts. It will take a turf, peat with a compost and sand, sometimes mixed perlite. To make it easy to fill them with the necessary cavities, it should be done quite wet, it should be nutritious. If the upstream layer was quite fertile, it can also be used in the mixture.
Many are recommended to increase plant fertility by adding various fertilizers to the substrate, but this advice cannot be applied to the alpine slide. On such soil, the plants will grow to rise, will quickly stretch with the predominance of green mass. Flower with the smallest colors that are formed less than plants.
If aggressive soils are planned, they grew up in strengthen, they will close the stones, after which the meaning of plant planning is lost next to the stones. Soils need to be placed on a slide during stacking stones, it is usually rambling. After performing work, the hill is abundantly poured, and then additionally embedded as a result of water casting.
Drainage system
It is not always required, but some plants are needed. If the soil is loamy or clay, then drainage is produced. If the soil waters come close to the surface, then the constant moisture is needed to do.
For the arrangement of drainage Apply crushed stone or small stones. They are covered with a layer of 0.1-0.3 m. The drainage layer is inevitable, if the slide should stand on the elevation, the layer must be thickened. On top of the stone you need to sprinkle sand over a thickness of up to 10 cm. In places where elevations are planned, it must be thickened.
At the next stage, the slide is abundant, after which the drainage layer is immediately compacted. All imperfections in it will be perfectly visible, so it will be possible to neatly level.
Vertical planning
The most responsible event is selection and installation of stones. With their help, whole drawings are formed, volumetric compositions. Each individual group can be highlighted by a cross section or a tint, which makes the Alpinarium as interesting for long consideration. To repeat the mountain landscape, you need to do all the patterns of the error, the correct geometric shapes should not be used.
With proper vertical planning initially, the bulk of the bulk stone. It is advisable to make it closer to the east side. Smaller stones are stacked in order: from the middle - the largest, and the closer to the ends, the smaller breeds can be applied.
To avoid symmetric proportions, one group of stones can be postponed with a maximum fit, and the other is located at some distance from each other. When laying the stone, it should be remembered for leaving the holes for the subsequent landing of decorative plants.
Stones must be absolutely resistant. They should not swing, so they are plunged into the land at least one third of their size. If necessary, the design is additionally strengthened with a layer of soil or small stones.
Planting
Earth should be abundantly watering before landing several times, Only then planted like plants. Light-loving plants should be closer to the Sun, and those that can do without it, if necessary, are placed on the shadow side.
Large plants look great on the background of large stones, and small it is better to sit near small. The soil plants are planted with a large distance so that they do not interfere with each other to develop. Padoid plants can easily neigh else with each other. Dwarf trees should stand apart, so that the slide looks irregularly. After planting plants, the soil is murdered.
The right choice of plants, compliance with all the preparatory stages on the formation of an alpine slide will help make it as much as possible. She is long to please look The picturesque fragment of natural plants.
