LANDSCAPING
The process of making a piece of
land more attractive by altering
the existing design, adding
ornamental features, and planting
trees and shrubs.
• UNDERSTANDING LAND:
Landscaping varies according to
different regions. Therefore, normally
local natural experts are recommended
if it is done for the first time.
Understanding of the site is one of
the chief essentials for successful

LANDSCAPING:
Different natural
features like terrain
prevailing winds, depth
of land, and the system
of flora and fauna must
be taken into
account. Sometimes the
land is not fit for
landscaping. To overcome
it GRADING should take
place.
GRADING:
This reshaping of
land is
called grading. When
the earth is taken
from the land it is
called cutting while
when earth is added
to the slope, it is
called filling.

process may involve
removal of excessive

ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING:
colour
Your colour element is
going to be the central
part of your design.
Colour will bring your
design to life and will help
create the mood and
feeling you are looking
for.
Scale
Scale is the relationship
of your plants within your
design and your design
with the rest of your
property.
Your design should
consider the size of your
house and any existing
landscaping.
Form
Form is the shape of the
plants in your design.
• Tall plants create a
vertical look and draw the
eyes upward.
• Low spreading plants
draw the eye to the
horizon.
• Individual plants break
up a repeating pattern.
Unity
Unity is the element that
manages consistency and
repetition in your design.
Unity can be achieved by
consistently using plants
with similar colour, scale,
form, texture and
balance. Unity allows all
your plant designs to fit
together in your overall
design.

ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPING:
texture
Texture is the touch or
visual surface of the
plants and hardscape in
your design.
The plants in your design
can be fine or course.
Texture can be seen in
the plant’s leaves,
flowers, and bark.
Texture is how you add
variety to your design.
Balance
Balance is the element
that controls the first
four design principles of
colour, scale, form and
texture.
Think of Balance as
weight. When you design
your landscape you have
to ensure your design is
properly weighted.
Symmetrical View
Asymmetrical view
Simplicity
While it is useful to know
the 7 Design principles,
we do not want you to get
overwhelmed.
Use the Simplicity
Element of Landscape
Design to guide you as you
create your design.
