Landscaping Tips For Beginners


When designing your own garden, the first thing you should consider is the concept of landscaping. Achieving a attractive garden isn’t just a question of purchasing the most expensive plants and building a fountain in the middle. It's much than that so, here are some tips to get you on your way.

Colour is a vital component of any landscaping project. Knowing how light, shade and tone impacts a garden is the foundation of every landscape design and should be taken into consideration when you’re designing the hardscape and softscape of your yard.

A good place to begin when deciding on colours for your garden is deciding whether you intend to create balance or contrast. The ambiance and spirit of your garden is mostly influenced by your choice of colours.

Be aware of the shape and structure of all the elements of your property and focus on how to make them work together. For example, even the shape of simple leaf could influence your landscape design

Texture and shape are possibly the least obvious elements of good landscaping design, but are, however, vital to creating a beautiful garden.
For setting the overall feel of the garden you need to concentrate on three factors: transition, unity and proportion.

Regarding proportion, you just have to ask yourself one question, does this design element (plant, rock, water feature) fit in or is in proportion with the rest of the garden? In achieving a sense of unity with your garden, you just have to ensure that all things are working together and complementing each other. Don’t let one element overshadow another. Last of all, transition means an even, gradual change or switch from one style to another.

Lastly, it's important to consider the balance and rhythm of the garden. This ensures that people's focus are directed towards what you want them to see and the garden lives and breathes in a harmonious manner.
