Swimming pools can be used as elements in the home garden. The form can be adapted to land conditions.
Home owners with extensive land may crave a private swimming pool in his yard. Initially, the existence of this pool may be just for recreation and sports. On the other hand, its existence can be proved as an element of any house garden filler.
As a filler parks, swimming pools can be placed on the land in the middle, corner, or edge of the land. About the location of the pond, is actually very flexible. But there are some things to consider. This relates to building design, spacious house, the direction of sunlight, where a neighbor’s house, and the needs of residents that the pool would function.
In terms of form, there are actually many types that can be applied. Although in principle we can about this form for based on the allotment. To stay at home, can be made pond with a freer form. Can the circle, square, or irregular curves. Curve or circle is a shape suitable applied at home. This form will be minimal sharp corners, making it more secure for the children and the elderly. In addition, this type also has a natural impression, no legs, and both can be aesthetic elements in the park. Meanwhile, at home with limited land, rectangular swimming pool is more suitable.

Eco-friendly garden can be said if able to function optimally. This element can be used not only support the building aesthetics, but also fully functional on the environment surrounding tropical gardens certainly need that can absorb heat and rain water properly.

Therefore, making the park on buildings such as houses are needed. Its function is also quite diverse. If we see visually, can be used as an ornamental garden house. Only scientifically actually serves to maintain a system of parks and ecological environment.

Parks can also be one of the trigger factor not environmentally friendly because the lifestyle of the occupants of the house. Suppose that by creating crops that are not in place, such as planting fruit trees in the front area of the house.

Because of its productive and lush, the trees will not only damage the aesthetics of the park, but also trigger a person passing in front of the house to get the fruit ripe.

Or another example, originated from the desire to protect the house from thieves, the residents chose to plant thorn. But because the householder was not diligent in pruning thorny, eventually even endanger every person who walks around the area of the house.

In the living, environmentally friendly garden should be able to give a green atmosphere, one of them by selecting trees not only shade, but also that in accordance with house and garden area.

There are several things that need to be done to make eco-friendly garden, including planting broadleaf plants such as almond trees, tree beautiful violin, or some kind of family than the oak. It is based on the benefits of broad-leaved trees, which can reduce evaporation of water into the air.

In addition, the park also must relates with the owner of the house lifestyle. That is, the park that we make must not “endanger” the occupants. In the sense of not using thorny bushes, the land area must be larger because it was useful as a means of playing children, and do not use twigs are easily broken and pulled out the sap.

There are some residents who plant trees in the area of productive front of the house. Originally it was intended to protect the house from the dirty air and noise pollution. But at the time of fruit harvest, the tree is what triggers people passing in front of the house to do something.

Another thing to do, better yet there is always contact between the interior and exterior elements. For example, use of plant colors in harmony with the texture of the building.

In addition, there are also several other complementary factors, barriers and guards is one of the elements to create an environmentally friendly garden. Suppose we have a house facing west, then Put plants that can protect the occupants of the house follows the sun during the daytime.

No need to use AC to get the cold weather. Simply multiply the plants around the dwelling, then would we feel the cool atmosphere.

The heat of the earth’s temperature is one reason people attend water conditioner (AC) in their residences. Just look at the houses in urban areas, nearly all of its space has a cooling machine. However, in reality not everyone can afford to buy goods entering tertiary class (luxury) that because the price is quite expensive. The solution exists and is guaranteed cheap and very environmentally friendly.

Yes, the plant became the answer. Living creatures that suck out oxygen and carbon dioxide in the daytime it’s “savior” to protect of our Capital City’s growing pollution is rampant. In fact, shade leaves can also be a shade under the sun during the day time.

Plants in pots are placed on the terrace or inside the home were able to cool the atmosphere and natural beauty. Other plants that can be used as a dwelling is a vine Conditioning. Vines of many kinds, there are types of flowers, fruits, or plants that produce leaves.

Which currently are loved mandevilla vine (plant trumpet) because his character very well with the tropical climate in this country. There are also other vines, among stephanot purple, white and purple thunbergia, bougenvil, quisqualis indica, tears cat, Alamanda, lady chewing betel nut, betel ivory, monstera, or morning glory plants.

Besides functioning as air conditioning, with a little “touch” art, vines can also be displayed in a pretty slick in the dwelling as an accessory. Regarding the types of plants, should be adjusted to the taste of the hosts and the impression you want to display.

If you wish to choose flowering vines to sweeten occupancy, choose a neutral-colored flowers, like white and yellow to become partners occupancy. However, if the flowering vines to be used as points of interest, choose a flower vine flashy like red or orange color.

If you want to present the impression leafy and green, leaf-producing vines can be selected. For example, betel sirihan types. Besides functioning as a Conditioning, betel leaves can also be used as a medicine. However, do not choose a vine whose leaves easily fall because, other than gross effect on occupancy, it displays also become less attractive if the continuous fall.

While for vine fruits, you can choose the wine, passion fruit, or strawberries. Besides looking beautiful, the fruit of the vine can also be enjoyed. Nevertheless, there are types of vines that must be carefully cared for him.

Another thing to note is the growing media, fertilizers, watering routine, intake of sunlight, and means of propagation such as walls, pergola, a series of wire, pole buildings, or fences. Indeed, to avoid disappointment and difficulty caring for vines, preferably before buying vines need to know these plants live in the lowlands or highlands. Because, despite the many kinds of creepers that live in the lowlands that need lots of sun, there are vines that can only live in cool area.

In addition to easily take care of him, we are also satisfied with the results. Because, if one plant, suppose that should be planted in cool area actually planted in hot areas, will cause the flowers or leaves are not growing.

Creating a garden should not be the origin. If not carefully planned, will only create the bushes and littering the landscape.
A park was created with the aim to bring the beauty. Determined whether a beautiful garden of softscape and hardscape material selection, color composition and shape, and overall harmony of design.
Several planning processes are often ignored because it looks trivial, but in fact will determine the beauty of the park. Some of the following must be observed, so that the park created completely in accordance with our expectations.
Two main points have to be prepared is to prepare a design or concept of the park and technical preparation. Preparation is the creation of engineering design drawings in accordance with the concept of garden landscape design as desired.

Land pattern making, preparation of electrical and water installations, location, and determining the point of planting a few things that should be encapsulated in the concept design is created.
This design will be a guideline for subsequent plans. To create this design, must consider several technical work will be done to create the park. Here’s the description.
Preparing Land
These activities include excavation work and the reversal of soil, backfill, bulking, and delivery of fertilizers or addition of nutrients in the soil. In addition to preparations for planting the ready planted land and has a contour corresponding to our expectations, this process also frees the land from weeds that will interfere with later plant growth.
This process is often missed because often we can not wait to immediately or directly to plant so the results are often disappointing: dead plants and do not grow well because of disturbed weeds.
Creating a Garden Construction
In this process of planning and construction of the trail done. This element is important for the circulation path in the park so that all the activities in the park who do not interfere with the future sustainability of the growth of plants and other elements. In accordance with the extent of the park, trail design and material can be made in a variety of options.

Plants have a significant effect in reducing the heat of the room temperature. Indoor air-conditioned, use of plants with sufficient amounts can lower the temperature of 3 ° C-5 ° C.
In addition, broad-leaved plants have the ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) is greater. In a single human requires 2.9 kg of oxygen (02) so that helps speed up the procurement of 02 plants in the room during the day.
For the convenience of working space, you can take advantage of plants, such as Sansevieria, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis (Dracaena Massangeana), Chrysantheium monfohum, Aglaonema modestum, and fibrous rooted plants.
Take advantage of growing media hydrogel visually beautiful. Do not forget to regularly provide water intake and plant health notice in order to avoid pests
