Design terminology

Proportion and Scale

Proportion refers to the size of objects in relation to other objects in your design and Scale is the relationship to a fixed object such as a house or pergola. When designing it is important to consider vertical, horizontal, and spatial relationships.

Order

Order how one feature or area of your landscape design flows into the next. Depending on your preference you may choose an order that is balanced and symmetrical such as having to matching pots opposing each other at a front door, or you may select an order that is asymmetrical yet still balanced.

Repetition – Continuity – Flow

Through repetition of materials or plants, you create continuity throughout your landscape design that flows from different areas connecting each space. This can be accomplished a feature or pattern that can be repeated throughout the space. Failure to follow this principle may result in a design that isn’t cohesive and appears to look jumbled and not well planned out.

About

Unity

Unity is the principle of repetition and consistency throughout a design. Repetition is used to bring about continuity in your design by repeating design elements throughout the landscape. Continuity is used to create unity by fitting different elements of a landscape together to create a common unit or theme.

Balance

Balance is the distribution of the visual weight of objects, colors, textures, and space. In simpler terms, it’s all about creating a sense of equality, which, in turn, boosts visual attractiveness. There are two types of balance: symmetrical which is generally more formal and asymmetrical which tends to be more informal balance.

Contrast

Contrast refers to placing opposing elements together to create visual interest.  Colors, textures and shapes are all used to create contrast and interest in a design.

Focal Point

The purpose of a focal point is to draw the viewers’ attention. Fountains, Water Features, Statuary, and pottery are commonly used focal points. There is usually one main focal point but it possible to have multiple focal points in throughout different areas of the landscape.

Greg was absolutely fantastic. He runs a very professional and honest company. He listened thoroughly to our wishes, and then took his time to perfect it. When we saw the 3D model, we were ecstatic! He exceeded our expectation. The construction went very smooth and was on schedule. The workers were so courteous and professional as well. We have nothing but positive things regarding this company! It was worth every penny we paid. We have already recommended them to many of our friends. Expect nothing less than perfection from Greg and his team. They are very talented and blessed with the visions they have to make your dreams come true. Thank you again!
