What is Landscape Design?
Landscape design is the art of arranging or modifying the features of a yard, an urban area, etc., for aesthetic or practical reasons. It is often divided into two major parts for organizational purposes: hardscape and softscape. Today's landscape design integrates a variety of elements to create functional and beautiful outdoor living spaces. Professional landscape designers provide a broad range of planning and design services tailored to a spectrum of client needs. By engaging a landscape designer's services, outstanding design solutions can be developed while avoiding costly mistakes and misunderstandings. Starting with a design and continuing to communicate with your landscaping contractors throughout the project will get you the best results.
A well-executed landscape design increases not only the enjoyment of a home but the actual square footage of valuable, usable space. With comprehensive planning and professional installation, outdoor living areas can be an excellent investment. Studies have shown that thoughtfully developed outdoor spaces can increase a home's value up to twenty percent.
Landscape Design, like all art forms, has guiding principles. To get a pleasing, attractive result, landscape designers follow eight basic guiding concepts:

With comprehensive planning and professional installation, outdoor living areas can be an excellent investment. Studies have shown that thoughtfully developed outdoor spaces can increase a home's value up to twenty percent.
Landscape Design, like all art forms, has guiding principles. To get a pleasing, attractive result, landscape designers follow eight basic guiding concepts:
1. UnityAll the elements of a landscape’s design should be part of a consistent finished image. Nothing should stand out or seem out of place. The overall look should be harmonious with the house and land on which it is built.
Unity can be achieved by centering the design around chosen plants, a color scheme, specific shapes, or even textures. 2. BalanceWith balance, like with unity, nothing should stick out or dominate. In landscape design, as in other forms of art, each component used in your Wellington, FL homes' landscape has a certain amount of visual " weight." A huge statue has more weight than an edging of flowers, for example. Balance means you get an equal distribution of visual impact or weight throughout the design.
Our Wellington Landscaping designers achieve balance with symmetry or asymmetry. With symmetry, two sides of a space have elements similar in size and impact. With asymmetry, a larger object, like the large statue, may be balanced by a grouping of smaller components like a series of different sized shrubs planted together. |
3. TransitionIf two parts of a landscape are different, building in transitions or gradual change will keep the design harmonious. You might use a gradual increase of size from a small element to a larger one or employ a gradual transition from one color scheme to another.
4. Rhythm and RepetitionRhythm in landscape design refers to a sequence of movements and rests, like in music. Elements in the composition lead the viewer's eye through (and sometimes even beyond) the designed area. Repetition refers to the multiple use of features with the same shape, line, form, texture, or color throughout a landscape composition. While too much repetition can create monotony, the right amount can lead to rhythm, accents, and unity.

5. ColorThere are many greens in any landscape design, but what other colors and how much of them determine the impact of color in your yard. The designer pulls the look together using matching or coordinating stone colors for walkways, patios, and garden walls. Your yard may include a riot of color in flower beds balanced by solid dark green shrubs and subdued stone colors. The landscape colors need to work well with the house design and colors.
6. LineYour eye likes to follow lines in anything it sees. There should be planned coordinated lines in any design. The lines can connect walkways to entryways, garden walls to tree lines, and garden borders back to walkways. Lines can also create perspective, make a space seem smaller or larger and give an illusion of depth.
|
7. ProportionProportion refers to size relationships. Relative proportion means the size of an object compared to another item or a human being. A landscape element needs to be in relative proportion to the house, the yard space, the area of the yard, other components, and the humans who will interact with it.
8. Contrast & HarmonyContrast can highlight an element in the design. Contrasting colors, plant sizes, textures, leaf structures, and more when placed side-by-side can add interest and draw the viewer’s attention. Contrast cannot interfere with the Harmony of the landscape. Harmony and unity have similar definitions. Harmony helps different elements in a landscape design look unified. All the design elements and objects should combine to create a visually pleasing effect. A good design successfully balances harmony and contrast.
