The document discusses the principles and elements of landscaping. It outlines 8 key principles: order and unity, balance, contrast and harmony/rhythm and sequence, color/focalization, transition, line/interconnection, proportion/scale, and repetition. These principles serve as guidelines for organizing design elements in accordance with nature. Landscaping can make an area functionally pleasing and sustainable while also creating welcoming outdoor spaces.

7. PRINCIPLES
OF
LANDSCAPING
• FOCALIZATION/COLOR
• PROPORTION AND SCALE
• BALANCE
• ORDER AND UNITY
• REPETITION
• RHYTHM AND SEQUENCE-CONTRAST AND HARMONY
• INTERCONNECTION
• TRANSITION

8. 1. Living elements, such as flora or fauna; or
what is commonly called gardening, the art and
craft of growing plants with a goal of creating a
beauty with in the landscape.
2. Natural elements such as landforms,
terrain shape and elevation or bodies of
water.
3. Abstract element such as the weather and lightning
conditions.
Landscaping – refers to any activity that modifies the
visible features of an area of land, including:

9. 1. ORDER AND UNITY
• Emotional and visual reaction to the
structure of design.
• Details of materials with the existing
site condition.

10. Basic scheme or
skeleton of design
Harmonious
relationship among
elements

11. There are two
types of balance in
design:
1. Symmetrical-
two sided of the
landscape are
identical
2 BALANCE
is simply a sense of equality.

12. 2. Asymmetrical balance. the
landscape composition is balanced
balanced using different elements and
elements and objects which have
which have almost similar imaginary
similar imaginary weight.

13. 3. CONTRAST AND HARMONY-
RHYTHM AND SEQUENCE
Contrast helps highlight certain elements
in your design, while harmony helps
elements in a landscape composition look
unified. Contrasting elements draw the
viewer’s attention when they’re placed
next to each other. They are apparent flow
of lines, texture and colors that express a
feeling of motion

15. 4. COLOR/FOCALIZATION
• Color gives your landscape design
the dimension of real life.
• Capture attention, create visual
break and create accent or focal
points.
Do not incorporate
too many focal
points into the
landscape

17. 5. TRANSITION
 Transition is simply a gradual
change.
 Illustrated by gradually varying the
plant size or the color intensity.
 Transition can also be applied to
texture, foliage shape and size of
different elements.

19. 6. LINE/INTERCONNECTION
 Mother of all elements in landscape
design.
 Creating beds, entryways,
walkways, texture and perspective.

20. Used to give an illusion of depth
and distance.
Design to linked/connect together.

21. 7. PROPORTION/SCALE
 Proportion refers to the size of an
element in relation to the other.
 Mathematical relationship among
dimensions of space.

22. 8. REPETITION
 Repetition is directly related to unity.
 Using elements more than once
throughout the design.
 Provides common features.

23. CONCLUSION
 With these basic principles of landscape
design designing a landscape can be a
nice way of unleashing your creativity.
 Utilizing, colors, contrast, and lines all
can help influence the design of your
landscape.
 Every design creates unique and
aesthetic essence.
