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

natural patterns, you can develop a specific focal point and the
repetitiveness of these patterns offer that perfect look without being
overpowering.

5. Elements of Landscaping

Landscaping that we at Livable Landscapes always follow:

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.

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

break that perfect atmosphere of your outdoor area.

6. 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.

7. 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.

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
