What do you need to know about the steps of building a terrace?

Generally, people's balconies can't be very big, ranging from ten to twenty square meters to thirty or forty square meters. The cultivation conditions can't be the same as the ground, so it should be carefully arranged and considered repeatedly.

First, design the terrace. Where to plant flowers, where to lay the floor, where to put seats, water features, flowers and plants. Generally, heavier tables and chairs, rockeries with water features and larger plants should be placed on beams or columns with good load bearing. Put faucets, lamps and sketches first, and the load per square meter shall not exceed 500 kg.

Secondly, leak-proof measures should be taken during construction, especially flower beds. You can't choose tree species with developed roots. Flower beds should have drains.

Third, the best soil for flower beds is garden soil, which can be bought in suburban vegetable fields or flower and bird markets, with a little peat soil and river sand, and some base fertilizer.

Select plant species. The site conditions of terraced fields are limited, so it is not suitable to choose tall trees, but only small trees and shrubs with leaves and flowers. If it is in tropical and subtropical areas, tropical gardens can be built.

Plant some palms, such as mallow, mallow, brown bamboo, bamboo banana, bamboo taro, pineapple and so on. And put a small waterscape on the side. Or plant bougainvillea, fireworks and vines in sunny places for three-dimensional beautification, and pomegranate, jasmine, lotus, water lily, deciduous wood and other ornamental plants should also be placed in sunny places. You can also choose camellia, gardenia, dragon boat flower, rhododendron, red maple and so on. In short, you can plant your favorite flowers and plant them in the right place. When placing, we should consider the habits of flowers, the harmony of colors and styles, the evergreen leaves, trees and shrubs. If possible, make a small rockery and fish pond; If not, put a fish tank.

Make room for tables and chairs. The terrace is mainly for leisure. Do not set other functions on the terrace, such as washing clothes, drying clothes, stacking sundries, etc.
