The entrance group was distinguished by decorative elements of forging, stucco, andas well as ornamental trees. Paths and platforms were made of gravel, sand or broken bricks. In cities, paving stones were more common. Over time, the improvement of the adjacent territory of a private house reached a new level, they began to use concrete. Garden sculptures, columns and retaining walls, as well as paths and steps were made from it. As for the style, the influence of Europe was very felt. The gardens were designed according to a regular scheme, in the image and likeness of Versailles. And also modeled on classic English gardens in a landscape style.
