Landscape Garden Design Ideas

One aspect of gardening that many of us have trouble with is applying the elements of design to our landscaping and garden design, especially when the design isn't planned as a whole. This can lead to a variety of problems, such as jarring color combination or distractingly busy gardens. One of the most common problems I see in garden designs is that they just turn out a little boring. A great way to fix this is to break up the uniformity and add a little contrast, and here are a few design ideas to help you do that.

Adding a plant with deep red or very dark green foliage to a brightly-colored garden can make a huge difference. Try deep purple or red flowers for a garden with mostly pastels. In a garden that tends toward dark foliage, a few bright accent flowers or plants, or even a white sculpture, fence, or flagstones can be exactly what you need. This is very common in Japanese garden designs, where a dark, carefully pruned tree against a white wall can be a stunning thing. The other way to create contrast with color is to go to the other side of the color wheel. Use red accents to contrast with greens, or a few blue flowers in a garden of reds and oranges. This is a method often used in cottage and English garden designs, where the profusion of flowers often calls for colors as the main method of creating contrast. It is also used very effectively in many tulip beds, where so many similar flowers at a similar, orderly height can create a sea of color that is beautiful when broken up with a few carefully placed contrasting flowers.
