THE 5 ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN INCLUDE:• Color –

It is important to use a complementing color scheme throughout the yard. Sometimes Contrast can create some interest and excitement.

• Direction or Line –

Linear patterns are used to direct physical movement and to draw attention to areas in your garden.

• Form – Form can be expressed through built objects or trees and shrubs of various shapes and sizes which create natural patterns.

• Texture – Paving and building materials along with plants with varying textures can add to the atmosphere of your outdoor area.

• Scale – Your outdoor design should balance the size of the buildings or established plants it surrounds, while maintaining a comfortable human environment for the individuals who will use the area.ADVANCED ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPE

Paving :

Paving is the method of creating durable surfaces laid down on an area intended to sustain traffic (vehicular or foot traffic). The most common modern paving methods are stone and concrete. In the past, brick was extensively used. Today, permeable paving methods are beginning to be used more for low-impact roadways and walkways.

They are used to create relatively level areas at different

elevations, where changes in elevation can’t be accomplished

by grading because of limited horizontal distances or where

changes of grade must be accomplished with least disturbance

to topography.
