Landscape design is really an art form. When used properly landscaping can add significant value to your property and home. A professional landscaper will help you assemble a plan; bring your perfect landscape to life. Trees, shrubs and flower beds are all used to enhance the natural beauty of your property, as well as form natural divisions in your landscape.

Landscape design can be divided into two main categories; hardscape and softscape.

The hardscape portion of landscape design is what you might consider the architectural elements or outdoor living spaces; stone walls, wooden fences, brick pathways, statuary, fountains, benches, etc. Anything that is not a plant is considered hardscape in a landscape design. Therefore, the softscape portion of a landscape design is all the various greenery; trees, shrubs, grass and any other plant material used in the landscape design plan.

Much like the pieces of a puzzle; when properly applied color, form, line, scale, and texture are the pieces when fit together form a whole picture. Color is an extremely important and gives the whole design life. Color has the power to influence our moods, a relaxing feeling, or you can drama to create a focal point. Color can also be used to tie one or more areas together, or define them from each other.
