Simplify Your Design for Big Results
June 25, 2011 | By webadmin
So many of us got into landscaping because we love plants. That love of plants can sometimes be our downfall when it comes to design. While a cottage look with lots of different plants can be attractive, simplifying a design can yield big results. More isn't always better!
An important aspect of design is a project having a cohesive feel. This can be accomplished by having a strong focal point, and using design elements like repitition and harmony in a design. A focal point will lead your eye to a certain place in the yard. This can be done by adding a pot of color, a specimen plant or even a bench or seating will draw the eye to it.
