The Art of Outdoor Living:
elements of landscape design
Unity & Balance
Unity and balance are two elements that work together to create a pleasing, cohesive landscape design. To achieve unity in your outdoor space, we incorporate repeating shapes and colors, as well as use similar materials throughout the design. For balance, we make sure that all focal points are evenly distributed so that no one element stands out more than another.
Transitions
Transitions in landscape design refer to the gradual changes from one area of your yard or garden to another. We can do this by changing up colors, textures and plant varieties as you move from one area to the next. This helps create a visually appealing flow between spaces while allowing each area to stand out on its own.
Variety
Our landscape design experts combine different plants and materials to create visual interest, but make sure the overall style still ties together. This way we can create a unique, dynamic design without it looking too chaotic or disjointed.
Scale & Lines
Scale and lines are two key elements in creating landscapes with depth and dimension. When choosing plants, we pay attention to the size of each one so that they fit in proportionally to the area they're planted in. Additionally, we can use paths and other lines within your landscape to provide structure and offer directionality for visitors.
