3. BRIEF & HISTORY
THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE STYLE IS THE
KNOWN INFLUENCE THAT SHIFTED FROM
FORMAL, SYMMETRICAL GARDENS TO A
LOOSER, IRREGULAR STYLE. THE
ENGLISH GARDEN WAS A TURN OF THE
CENTURY IDEAL AND CHANGED MANY
ASPECTS OF LANDSCAPE TO THE
COMMUNITY. BEFORE THE
INTRODUCTION OF ENGLISH
LANDSCAPE, NATURE WAS VIEWS AS
DANGEROUS, THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE
COMPLETELY CHANGED THIS VIEW TO
APPRECIATE AND VALUE THE NATURAL
WORLD. THIS STYLE WAS INSPIRED BY
PAINTING AND ITS DESIGN WAS
INFLUENCED THROUGH MANY
DISCIPLINES SUCH AS HISTORY,
PHILOSOPHY AND SCIENCE. THE
INNOVATIVE DESIGN OF THE ENGLISH
LANDSCAPE STYLE FOREVER CHANGED
GARDENING AND INFLUENCES MANY
HOMEOWNERS TO BRING A SENSE OF
NATURE INTO THEIR OWN YARD TO THIS
DAY.
• BEFORE ENGLISH GARDEN MOST
GARDEN WAS ARRANGED IN FRENCH
OR DUTCH STYLE .
• THESE FRENCH AND DUTCH
GARDENS HAVE RECTANGULAR
SUBDIVISION.
• STRAIGHT AVENUES & PATHS AND
WATER CONTAINED SYMMETRICALLY
SHAPED BASIN.

4. INTRODUCTION TO
NEW STYLE
• THE NEW STYLE THAT BECAME
KNOWN AS THE ENGLISH
GARDEN WAS INVENTED BY
LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS WILLIAM
KENT AND CHARLES
BRIDGEMAN.
• WILLIAM KENT (1685–1748) WAS
AN ARCHITECT, PAINTER AND
FURNITURE DESIGNER WHO
INTRODUCED PALLADIAN STYLE
ARCHITECTURE TO ENGLAND.
KENT'S INSPIRATION CAME FROM
PALLADIO'S BUILDINGS IN THE
VENETO AND THE LANDSCAPES
AND RUINS AROUND ROME. HIS
GARDENS WERE DESIGNED TO
COMPLEMENT THE PALLADIAN
ARCHITECTURE OF THE HOUSES
HE BUILT.
• CHARLES BRIDGEMAN (1690–
1738) WAS THE SON OF A
GARDENER AND AN
EXPERIENCED HORTICULTURIST.
HE COLLABORATED WITH KENT
ON SEVERAL MAJOR GARDENS,
PROVIDING THE BOTANICAL
EXPERTISE WHICH ALLOWED
KENT TO REALIZE HIS
ARCHITECTURAL VISIONS.

6. CHARACTERISTICS
• LAKE - THERE WAS ALWAYS A LAKE IN THE
ENGLISH GARDENS, MOST WERE MAN-MADE
BUT ALL APPEARED TO BE NATURAL FORMING
BASINS. THEIR EDGES WERE MEANDERING
AND IRREGULAR AND OFTEN HAD PATHWAYS
WEAVING THROUGH THE TREES AND CLOSE
TO THE WATER’S EDGE.
• ROLLING LAWNS - TOPOGRAPHY ALLOW FOR
SURPRISES AS YOUR COMING AROUND
MOUNDS OR NICHES. EVEN IF YOU CREATE A
SMALL MOUNDING AREA, THIS REPRESENTS
NATURE BETTER THAN A COMPLETELY
LEVELED LANDSCAPE.
• TREE GROVES - WERE SPREAD THROUGHOUT
THE LANDSCAPE WITH PATHS THAT ALLOWED
THE GARDENS USERS TO WANDER IN AND
OUT OF THE GROVES AND PROVIDE A VIEW OF
ROLLING LAWNS AGAINST MASS TREE
PLANTINGS.
• SCULPTURE - WAS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAN
PREVIOUS GARDEN ART. PART OF THE
ENGLISH LANDSCAPE IDEALS WAS TO
PROVIDE VIEWS FROM A DISTANCE OF
CLASSIC DETAILED ARCHITECTURE AND
RUINS.
• HA HA -WAS A TYPE OF WALL USED TO
PREVENT ANIMALS FROM ENTERING TOO
CLOSE TO THE HOUSE WITHOUT
OBSTRUCTING THE VIEW OF THE
COUNTRYSIDE.
• GROTTOS - WERE USED AS ROMANTIC HIDE
OUTS. THEY WERE MANMADE BUT BUILD TO
RESEMBLE A DARK NATURAL FORMING CAVE.

7. ENGLISH GARDEN
- RESIDENCE
• THE ENGLISH STYLE GARDENS WERE BUILT IN A MASSIVE
SCALE; HOWEVER, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO DESIGN AN
ENGLISH STYLE GARDEN IN A RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE.
• REPLICATE THE AREAS WITHIN AN ENGLISH LANDSCAPE
STYLE BY SCALING THEM DOWN.
• YOU DON’T HAVE THE AREA TO CREATE A NATURAL
LOOKING LAKE; YOU CAN EASILY REPRESENT THIS BY A
SMALL POND.
• TREE GROVES CAN BE SIZED DOWN TO CONSIST OF A
SMALL GROUPING, AND A SMALL WOODEN FOOT BRIDGE
CAN BE INCORPORATED OVER THE SMALL POND AREA.
• PLANT GROUPS OF THE FLOWERS THAT WILL PROVIDE
COLOR AND A NICE FRAGRANCE.
• THESE GARDENS ARE DESIGNED TO LOOK NATURAL AND
BE A PLACE FOR MEDITATION AND RELAXATION.
• THE ENGLISH LANDSCAPE DESIGN STYLE IS
GUARANTEED TO INTRODUCE A SENSE OF MYSTERY TO
YOUR LANDSCAPE.
