    Landscape Design Gardening

    This article will discuss the basis of landscape design gardening and
    factors for consideration. It will review the stages of landscape design.

    Landscape Design Gardening: Don't Run to the Store

    Landscape design gardening is an undertaking that requires an understanding
    of the complete project. Like any project, there are stages that should be
    meticulously followed. The overall project involves 4 stages: planning,
    designing, implementing and managing. Designing is the stage where the idea
    becomes concrete. Landscape design gardening is the compilation of a myriad
    of details that mesh together as a whole. When landscaping, you should
    never 'run to the store'. Doing so will probably result in buying something
    that you did not did not plan for in your design. Going to the store should
    indicate a need to purchase something specifically identified for during the
    planning stage

    All Terrain

    In landscape design, gardening is matched to the terrain of the area being
    landscaped. This sounds simple enough, but terrain significantly varies
    with the locale. This is true whether the area is large, such as acreage
    around a public building, or small like a back yard. The terrain will often
    decide the kind of garden that will be established. The soil can be rocky,
    sandy or like clay. The land can be flat, slope or have rises. There may
    be a large area and the space available means more variety can be introduced
    into the design. The area may be small, limiting the options. Landscape
    design gardening accommodates all terrains.

    Geometry Lesson

    Landscape design gardening is like a geometry class. So many shapes and
    forms can be introduced into the design. Consider these options, which do
    not begin to form a complete list.

    1. Curves for paths and borders
    2. Circles for plant beds and ponds
    3. Squares for plant beds and patios
    4. Triangles for corner beds
    5. Straight lines for walkways
    6. Cones for pruned bushes
    7. Ellipses for plant beds



    Order in a Random Universe

    When looking at an area that needs landscape design, gardening options are
    plentiful. But there is much more than the kinds of plants to include in
    the design. The actual placement of the plants is a consideration. Plants
    can be planted in a predetermined order or they can be set randomly. In
    addition, all the other features of your gardening plan must be chosen.
    Once again, there is an unlimited selection. Will your design include a
    waterfall running into a pond requiring aquatic plants? Does the landscape
    design have walkways that will be lined with low growing plants? Despite a
    random array of choices, with landscape design, gardening becomes an orderly
    plan.

    It's All In The Planning

    With careful landscape design, gardening becomes not just an aesthetically
    pleasing experience. By considering the special requirements of terrain,
    using the array of geometrical shapes to fit any area and carefully
    considering plant and walkway placements, the beauty of any area is
    optimized. Even more, with landscape design, gardening remains enjoyable
    time spent outdoors.
