Key Landscaping Elements
Lines
With lines, you can customize the flow of your landscape’s physical movements and visual features. Your landscape looks more soft and casual with curved lines, while straight lines create a formal but modern look.
Color
The color of any part of your home or property is a key element. Color adds the essential feature you want to your landscape. When you are designing your landscape, you have to make sure there is a color scheme that looks great all year round, and there are varying colors to avoid dull looks.
Texture
The texture is all about the materials you use in your landscape design. You have to mix a variety of textures and designs like adding fountains or stepping stones for a hardscape and plants or other organic materials for a softscape design.
Form
For any landscape design, the form is an essential element that determines how you will add 3D objects to your space. Whether you want to add natural shapes like trees or plants or structured ones like shrubs and hedges, and shrubs, it all comes together when you use form.
Scale
The scale helps you determine the overall design and how each object will be sized to fit in the context of your landscape. A good landscape has the right scale with proportional objects placed in a way that complements everything and provides contrast.
Rock Gardens
Rock gardens are really popular, low-maintenance design options for a modern landscape. They are great for dry climates. You can add succulents and cacti and create your rock garden. Make sure you add pops of colour to make it look unique.
Fountains and Outdoor Structures
Fountains are a great way to add some water feature that uplights your landscape, attracts birdlife, makes your home look more welcoming, and creates a calm atmosphere. Other outdoor structures like arbours, trellises, and pergolas also help you scale your landscape.
