Landscape Gardening: Designer Art

Everyone knows landscape gardening includes planting some flowers and maybe creating a walkway. But did you know it is a form of designer art? Landscape gardening is a process of matching garden and yard styles to the house and your unique persona. It is creating a masterpiece that will evoke a mood when you look upon the final product. Like gazing at a Rembrandt painting, viewing a finished and well thought out landscape gardening project is powerful and pleasing. It is an experience for the mind, the body and the soul.

Driven By Purpose

Any major project requires planning. A painter must determine why a picture is being painted, because the purpose drives the perspective. Landscape gardening requires the same forethought. Functionality must be considered when landscape gardening. Designing a landscape for privacy may result in a significantly different plan than one created for simple viewing of beauty. The primary purpose of the project is set and everything is planned around that purpose. The very first question is whether the project is for business or personal purposes? Is it primarily for viewing, recreation, to add value to the house or to provide sunblock? Answers to these questions will drive the planning stages of the landscape gardening project.

Stylish Accommodation

Deciding what style to use in your landscape gardening plan is a major decision. There are many choices. Landscape gardening styles accommodate every kind of personality, house, neighborhood or business. There are basic styles that should first be considered. The final product may be a combination of several styles.

* Traditional and orderly shapes and patterns, such as straight walkways and square flowerbeds, characterize a Formal Garden.

* An informal garden is more likely to have rounded plant beds, meandering walkways and an array of plants and flowers not necessarily typical of a traditional garden.

* The English Garden is very formal and has certain characteristics such as raised flowerbeds and the expectation of certain plants, such as roses. Landscaping gardening in this style is structured around the type of enhance the house or building on the property.

* The Oriental Garden is also very formal but in a different way. It has plants and flowers normally seen in the occidental countries such as Japan. It has a pattern of simple lines and stark form, but carries a beauty unique to its origins.

* The Woodland Garden is a natural looking garden that frequently blends into the surrounding environment. Often, this type of garden has plants and flowers indigenous to the area where the landscape gardening will take place.

Feng Shui

Feng Shui is the arrangement of objects in your life to attract and enhance life energy. Landscape gardening is one form of Feng Shui in the natural world. By defining the purpose of your landscape project and then matching the style to that purpose, Feng Shui is created. The result is a vista out your back window that can energize or soothe or excite, depending upon the mood created with your planning.
