Basic Landscaping Principles



Landscaping is one of the hardest tasks that many homeowners do not have any knowledge about. And as a result, they often just hire a landscaping expert to help them achieve what they really want for their garden or lawn. But for homeowners who would rather try to do it themselves, here are the basic landscaping principles you can use as your guide.

- Simplicity. Start with simple designs and from there, create your own landscape. When choosing a landscape design, always consider the weather in your area, the soil type and other environmental and physical factors.

- Line. Deciding for the lines in doing your landscape is very important. Curvilinear design is the most common but it can also be the most difficult one to master as you need to be very creative in expressing the shape of your landscape.

- Focal point. In every landscape, there is always that focal point that instantly catches the attention of the people. Decide whether to use a plant or a garden ornament as your focal point. Usually, people go for a fountain, a shrub or a pond.
