To delineate the framework of the desired site, use special laying pegs with a stretched twine. Having placing the borders of the flower beds, remove the upper layer of the turf throughout the area with a thickness of 20-25 cm and thoroughly in the resulting deepening. Then the prepared recess fill with drainage - broken bricks, ceramic shards or rubble.
Next, proceed to the construction of the fence. For the arrangement of the border, any blowing materials can be used - from plastic bottles, wooden pegs and vines to paving slabs, but the fencing made of natural stone is most effectively. Before assembling the stone walls along the planned borders of the flower, lay out a layer of cement-sandy solution and slightly press it into an earthen base. When subsequent laying stones also use a solution. In the base part of the fence, be sure to insert drainage tubes.
At the end of the masonry, the upper part of the curb leve out with a solution, sprinkle with a dry cement and carefully set the trowel. The walls of the fence on both sides twice open the waterproofing composition (for example, bitumen mastic).

decorative herbs with unusual foliage (Mictouss, Kovyl, Vainik, Pennisetum) effectively complement the overall garden composition.
