To create a garden house, should be done with careful planning. Many factors into consideration so that the overall look of the garden can be enjoyed. Some things to note when planning a residential park is a theme that will be used, availability of land (space), type of plant (software elements) that would be used, the color of the park who wanted to appear, the smell of what you want created, and finally equipped with the manufacture sketches.

A. Themes

As discussed in the beginning, there are several types of themes (styles) park, the European garden, Japanese garden, tropical garden, traditional Indonesian and parks, including parks and gardens Java Bali. Election theme parks can also be based on the impression you want to display, such as natural parks memorable, romantic, masculine, exclusive, or minimalist. Indeed, the selection of themes is highly dependent on the tastes of the owner. However, the selection of the theme park should also be adjusted to local climate. For example, we want to create a tropical garden, while our environment is an arid region with a high environmental temperature and rainfall levels are low. The possibility of our goal to create a tropical garden would be difficult to achieve because the plants can not grow optimally in that place.

B. Land Availability

Making residential park largely determined by the availability of land our home page. Land is not only limited to the front yard, side or rear yard is also very possible to make the park. If the land for our garden area, will certainly make it easier to design a garden. However, if the land that we have quite narrow, the design of the park should be completely cooked and the selection of supporting elements to the right park.

C. Types of plants to choose

Selection of plants that will be planted in the garden that we make should be tailored to the theme (style) we choose the park. Tropical garden for example, is dominated by plant species that often grows in the tropics. Example ferns, palms, kadaka, sea pandanus, and others. The selection of plants is also based on function, such as plants that we planted to serve as ground cover. Starting from there, we can choose different types of ground cover plants, whether flowers or ornamental plants ornamental plants leaves. Could also plant that we wish to select is used as a central plant. Typically, the number of these plants in the garden only one or two trees.

This is certainly aimed at the center of attention when first we entered the park. Generally, plants used as a central plant exclusive of ornamental plants with plants that look gorgeous figure. If the form of flowers of ornamental plants, of course, has an attractive flower. And if the leaves of ornamental plants, of course, also has a leaf shape and attractive colors.
The selection of plants should also be adapted to altitude. Altitude differences will affect the range of temperatures in the range of day and night. Range of temperature range in low areas longer than the plateau. If we have parks located in the highlands (> 700 m), plant species should also be planted upland plants, both flowers and ornamental plants ornamental plants leaves. And vice versa. Several types of upland plants of chrysanthemum, lilies, pine, jasmine ribs, and lavender.

Similarly, when the park was created in the lowlands (<200 m) the types of plants should be selected any lowland plants. Some examples include the adenium, ephorbia, banyan, palm-paleman, and myrtle.

D. Color

Color for some people have a deep enough meaning. Color that comes from a park dominated by the color of the planted crops. The green color is dominating the course because generally green leaves. In aligning the green color, many choices can be made. Generally, aligning the colors appear from the leaf color (except green), flowers, stems, fruits and seeds, and some kind of hard elements. Some of the flower colors include yellow, red, pink, purple, white, and others. Yellow color, for example, can be obtained from the color of roses, myrtle, soka, hibiscus, lilies, and others. Strong element in the park will also provide a different color consciousness. Statue for example, provides a more natural colors, like gray. Swimming with various types of natural stone will give a dynamic impression on residential gardens. Meanwhile, various knick-knacks such as a barrel would give ethnic nuance and exclusive.

E. Aroma

The aroma is like a garden raised from the delicious smell of course. The source of the scent of garden flowers. When blossoms bloom, the scent of flowers will spread to the corners of the park. For some, the scent of flowers can be used as an aroma therapy to cure various kinds of diseases. Several types of flowering plants such as sweet, delicious night, jasmine, myrtle, lavender, roses, and lilies.

F. Making sketches

After all the elements forming the park is determined, the last of the sketches pembutan park. Park can be made sketches on paper or directly on the computer. However, for simplicity, usually people prefer to make it down on paper and then colored on the computer. There are also sketches, colored in the paper and do not need to be moved to the computer. Instead, it sketches made as detailed as possible. All the elements of the park elements in with a clear comparison. For example, representations of the pond clearly illustrated with color display that really resemble the original colors. The species must be described clearly. The portrayal of plants to the fence, ground cover, central plant, and plant shade trees should be clear. Loud park elements, such as swing, trash can, the path, and park lights should also be clearly portrayed.
