The landscape of the garden must be planned in such a way that it looks beautiful now while keeping the future in mind. You will find that it is best to plant your precious collection of plants in such a way that there is enough room when in the future you need a lawnmower, or stubble cutter, to come in for construction projects for your porch or patio.
If this planning is not done now, in the future you may have to dispose of your precious plants to have space to allow the movement of such equipment.
Have a point of contact
The focal point of your garden must be such that it attracts people and captures their attention as you wander around your garden. It should be different from others but not out of place. You can have an antique garden bench as a focal point but don’t use an item that is not related to the garden. A body of water or an oak can be a good focal point that will give the garden landscape a new dimension.
Curves must be checked
It is good to have curved paths or flower beds in a garden, but you must not overdo them. It must be kept simple so that the geometric design that you have incorporated into the landscaping stands out. If you use these shapes too often it will become common and no one will notice them.
Have movement in the garden
A garden landscape that has no movement is like a painting. Paintings are good on the walls but in a garden you need movement so you can bring life and interest to your garden.
You may be wondering how to have movement. It is quite easy to have such movement in your garden by adding swaying ornamental grasses or flowers that attract birds and butterflies and it will help you get the desired movement in your garden.
Mark your house
The landscape design that you have in your garden must match the house that you have. If you have a house that does not have much architectural design, then you can benefit from having the edges softened by the garden that you have.
You have to keep in mind when matching your garden with the house is that you must not overdo it. It must not be that your house is completely hidden by the garden trees that you have. The best thing about garden landscaping is that it will help highlight the smallest architectural details that your house has.
