    Landscape Gardening

    This article will discuss the concept of landscape gardening and its primary
    purposes. It will describe how landscape gardening involves multiple
    decisions.

    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.
