PLOT ZONING: COMFORTABLE ORGANIZATION OF SPACE

The first step in organizing a plot is defining zones and their functions. It is important to consider the number of people using the space and their habits. The relaxation area should be quiet and shielded from outside view, with comfortable furniture, a gazebo or terrace, and greenery creating a cozy atmosphere. A children's play area requires safe surfaces, clear visibility from the house, and enough space for active games and sports equipment. The gardening area should have access to sunlight, water, and convenient storage for tools. Decorative partitions, hedges, flower beds, pathways, and different textures of surfaces can effectively separate zones visually without disrupting the overall harmony of the plot.

Materials and plants not only enhance the plot’s appearance but also structure the space. Pathways and terraces can be made from natural stone, tiles, or wood, providing durable and comfortable surfaces. Retaining walls help level the plot and add visual interest. Plants should be chosen considering height, foliage density, flowering season, and suitability for Almaty’s climate. Decorative shrubs and trees can serve as living partitions, creating privacy for relaxation areas or protection from wind. Flower beds and color accents visually separate zones, while garden compositions with various textures make the plot diverse and attractive. It is also important to consider seasonal changes and maintenance needs to keep the plot neat and beautiful year-round.

Comfort on the plot is determined not only by functional zones but also by the atmosphere. Lighting plays a key role — soft lamps and fixtures create a cozy ambiance in the evening, highlighting pathways and relaxation areas. Fountains, decorative ponds, and small landscape elements add dynamics and a calming effect. Furniture and accessories, such as swings, hammocks, benches, tables, and umbrellas, make the plot convenient and enjoyable. When planning a plot, it is essential to consider the needs of all family members: adults appreciate quiet corners for relaxation, children need active play spaces, and gardeners require convenient areas for planting and working with plants. The interconnection of all zones, along with visual accents and smooth transitions, ensures a harmonious and functional space where every square meter brings joy and comfort.
