Parade walkway

If the trees were soldiers, they lined up to a column by one. But trees for military service unprofitable, but to create a landscape fit perfectly. And freezes in a silent parade, lined up in rows and alleys. Trees planted in a line, form a series. Common ordinary landing mostly in parks. In the old days they outlined the boundaries of estates - do not come to mind when people put the three-meter fence. Used for this purpose, large trees with a powerful long-lived: linden, oak, fir, spruce. Series of large - 1 st value - trees in historic parks are called tapestries. Conducting border - still the main function of tree rows. They limit the different zones of the site, planted along the fence. Rows of trees to protect from prying eyes of the noise, dust and wind, eliminate hosts from the boring look of the surroundings and the form in its own impenetrable fence. Straight and forward! If the rows of trees lined the road in front of us alley. The road there may be broad and narrow, car and pedestrian, is divided into two or three paintings. To call it a mall, you need one condition: The road should be straight. (However, experts in landscaping plant around the trees and the curves of the road. To justify it can be in one case: when are they going to resort to the reception on gardening slang termed "ah-ah." "Ah-ah!" - exclaims aesthetically sensitive person, when his gaze suddenly presents a dizzying view. For example, he just walked along the winding road, and saw on both sides of a monotonous trunks, branches, so leaves. Then suddenly, the trees parted, and through the resulting opening opened wonderful landscape. ). Another mandatory rule that must obey every avenue: it is bound to be somewhere to lead: to the main house, gazebo, in extreme cases - to the garden bench. Alley, resting on the fence or the garbage can, not just pretty, but nonsensical. After all, the main function of the avenues - direct gaze going forward person. And who wants to contemplate the trash? How do we define Designers divide the alley into several groups. Avenues are: 1. By application - major, minor, recreation, access. 2. The placement of trees in the ranks - symmetrical and asymmetrical. In the first case, the trees are located opposite each other in the second - in a checkerboard pattern. 3. According to the structure - simple and complex. The first consists of one roadway, the second - two or three. 4. By tiers - one-, two-or three-tiered. The road, lined by two rows of trees (left and right), is a single storey mall. If near trees 1-th value of trees smaller or large shrub, this avenue of bunk. A number of large trees, a number of medium trees plus shrubs (flowers, hedges, etc.) form a three-level mall. Needless to say, the lower tier, the closer it should be on the road. Step on the spot distance between trees in rows and alleys called "a step landing. Is it (for trees 1 st magnitude) 3-7 m. At this distance, the trees feel well, correctly developed and quickly closes the crown. However, the current estate can actually meet and outlandish series, where the trees trying to grow at a distance of two feet from each other, or freely arranged by 10-12 m. The general rule is this: that the ranks of better wood hid the fact that they must hide their plant closer ; to the series look more beautiful - put less. And when it comes to the mall, then its parameters (step planting and width) depend on the projected emotions. More precisely, on what mood you want to have going for her man. Want to catch up with the oppressive darkness - planting a dense, narrow alley, preferably from spruce or fir. Want to joy and light - putting on a broad avenue of apple trees, birches, lindens, or a large step landing. Depends on the width of the alleys and on the more prosaic things: what it is, who or what will it go and go, what equipment will clean the road from the leaves and snow, etc. The minimum width of alleys - 3.5 m. The maximum is difficult to determine. For example, the width of a triple lime avenue in the Pavlovsk Park - 70 am Not only at large is clear that the mall - ownership of large areas. However, if your site has a modest size, this does not mean that you are booked to think about this type of garden and parkland. Do professionals have techniques for using alleys for more than a modest areas. Shortest path can enhance the aesthetic impression of a very small area. Main - ably pick assortment of trees and well-calculated parameters. When you create a walkway does not cease to act the Golden Rule of Landscape Architecture: any object must be proportionate to the area of ??the site. When building the tree thins though not soldiers, but also knocked down - get sick and are dying to be dying age ... and then in their place are formed gaping void alley (row) begins to fall apart. What should I do? The first variant - an expensive and unrealistic: to destroy all the trees and plant new ones. The second variant - a popular and unprofessional: the place of dead trees to plant young seedlings. Despite the prevalence of this method in urban landscaping, it maloestetichen. "Patches" are attracting extra attention and are pretty pathetic. Movement of troops on the parade ground are beautiful only when absolutely synchronous. Aesthetics trees lined up in rows - in their perfect likeness. Also in nature is always a struggle for survival. Large trees do not give "new recruits" to develop normally, and they never catch up with powerful "old men". Third option - a classic: leave everything as is. Let the number will be void. They are nothing like the noble haze of time. Therefore, professionals, when the mall begins to fall apart, all the forces thrown out to save the remaining trees - take care, feed, heal and protect. And wait until the mall or some disappear altogether. Reassure the reader: powerful alleys are long enough at our age with a vengeance. Indeed, while the original planting remains at least a third, it is believed that the alley is still there. If you create an alley in a large area, a good few trees left in reserve, drop them off somewhere on the periphery of the area. If some plants do not take root, you can always make up for loss, transplant twin brother of emergency "kennel." Little about the style of series and alleys are typical for gardens, outstanding in the regular style, such as the Peterhof. But, of course, is their place in landscape parks
