There are set principles guiding art, from painting and architectural designs to hardscaping and landscaping.
And without a doubt, you can utilize these simple principles to create an aesthetically pleasing landscape on your property.
They include:
- Balance
A perfect example of a balanced landscape would include having a beautiful lush green lawn, some form of planting beds, incorporating paved walkways, an attractive water feature, and other hardscape features.
- Create a focal point
Any good design must have an eye-catching focal point. Just as the front door is the home’s focal point, your landscape’s focal point should be something close to the front door, drawing interest or enhancing the entryway.
You can choose a fountain or other forms of complex water features, or better still, have an entryway pergola. The point is, create something interesting.
- Simplicity
Keeping your landscape simple but attractive is essential. If you’ve opted for complex features, such as extensive lighting, magnificent architectural designs, or some fancy water feature, you will now need to go with a few colors, curves, shapes, and textures.
- Stick to a good proportion
This is concerning your lot size; if you have a small lot, you don’t want to clutter it with many features. The same applies to a big lot; you don’t want the hardscaping and landscaping features to appear scattered.
- Unify the landscape design
You want to make sure everything in your design makes sense in a unified manner. The colors, shapes, textures, sizes, lighting features, flower beds, and other hardscape features should work together to create a unified landscape, which is functional and pleasing to look at.
By following these designs, you’ll indeed create the landscape of your dreams. For a better outcome, choose to work with a reliable contractor.
