Principles of Landscaping

Livable Landscapes follows these basic principles while designing your

landscapes:

• Unified design: A proper central theme is absolutely necessary for

creating a unified look on your outdoor plan. It is very important for a

beautiful landscape design.

• Proportion: Everything should be perfectly related to each other in

terms of proportion and size.

• Transition: Planned transitions in terms of color, styles, and

textures are valuable in blending all the things together in your outdoor

area.

• Focus and repetition: With the use of lines, balance, form and

natural patterns, you can develop a specific focal point and the

repetitiveness of these patterns offer that perfect look without being

overpowering.

Elements of Landscaping

There are universally mainly five elements directly related to

Landscaping that we at Livable Landscapes always follow:

• Color: This element is very important in landscaping. The right

complimenting color throughout the yard goes a long way in making

everything right.

• Form: Natural patterns from built objects and things, shrubs, trees

etc can be expressed as form. It holds great importance in landscaping.

• Line: Patterns that are mainly linear are used specifically to direct

movement and attention to areas in your landscape or garden.

• Scale: It is very important to scale and balance the size of buildings

with the design of your landscapes. It holds the key to a beautiful and

functional landscape area.

• Texture: Varying textures can add that extra zing and can make or

break that perfect atmosphere of your outdoor area.

Importance of artificial lighting in Landscaping

The importance of lighting in designing any landscape is unmatched.

Lighting is one of the most important aspects of landscaping. Proper use

of light is absolutely necessary to accentuate all the ideas even more. It

provides benefits for both commercial and residential applications. Apart

from offering that perfect ambiance and mood, it also adds safety and

security to the whole area. Lighting the pathway, the pool, and the

garden can not only lift up the whole environment of your outdoor area

but will also provide that much-needed security. Our experts at Livable

Landscapes use various lighting fixtures, underwater pool lights,

pathway lights, garden lights, and state of the art lighting systems to

light up your landscape.

Importance of natural light in Landscaping

As much as artificial lights are important for landscaping, natural light is

also very much needed. Natural light is essential in your landscape area

to capture the finest of details. Natural light is abundant and using it in

favor of your designs is not so easy. It requires a lot of expertise in terms

of designing and overall execution. It adds that much-needed depth and

brightness to your entire landscape. Though too much of natural light

would be a big turn off, using the right amount by installing shades at

the right places and right design ideas can make a lot of difference to the

whole area.

Importance of Plants in Landscaping

Our landscape designers at Livable Landscapes believe that plants play a

significant role in the overall aesthetics of a landscape area. The type of

plants displayed is bound to create a sense of space. They not only

capture the mood but also help to beautify and improve the outdoors. In
