LANDSCAPE DESIGN
‘Processes and Services ’
23. Unity attracts and holds attention. It organizes view into orderly groups with
emphasis. Unity can be achieved by consistently using elements with similar
characteristics in the design such as plants with similar height, size, texture, and
colour.
Good structure in the overall design,
combined with hard landscape such as the
similar shape of stones, that meets the
needs for service and enjoyment.
Man-made balance often is geometrical and symmetrical, while natural balance is
often asymmetrical. Balance can be used to avoid monotony and to create interest
in the landscape design.
Formal Balance
repeats the same left and right, giving
stability, stateliness, and dignity.
Informal Balance
achieved with a mass planting of shrubs or a
tree on one side
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
‘ Design Development’
24. Line is a powerful design element that define rooms and connect people to
the landscape. The sight of viewer is unconsciously influenced by the
arrangement of plants and borders.
Wavy or curved line has a more natural, gentle, flowing effect.
A curved line tends to be more smooth and free flowing and create
a more relaxed, natural movement for a more relaxed landscape
effect
Straight line gives a more forceful, direct, and structured
feel to the area. It direct the eye right to the next focus.
Texture changes with distance. Close-up texture comes from the size and
shape of leaves, twigs and branches. At a distance, texture comes from the
mass and play of light.
The characteristics of texture divide plants into three basic groups: coarse,
medium and fine.
Texture can be used to affect the sense of scale.
Example : A fine-textured plant used near the viewer with a coarse-textured
plant farther away gives a subtle sense of decreased distance. It makes the
property or structure seem smaller.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
‘ Design Development’
25. Colour is powerful in creating mood and feeling. By using adjacent
colours,they can provide unity. Colors should complement each other and use
similar hues together.
Form refers to the silhouette or outline of the plant.The form and its
relative size and relationship to other elements in the landscape is a
primary design consideration.
Example : Rounded forms are most common in plant materials. They
allow for easy eye movement and create a pleasant undulation that leads
itself to plant groupings.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
‘ Design Development’
26. Sequence is used to direct the eye smoothly to a desired focal point. It
includes a gradual change in the form, color, texture, or size of the landscape.
Sequence with Texture
Change leaf size of adjacent different types of plants
by at least one-half. Use more of the finer textured
plant.
Sequence in with Colour
Texture becomes finer with distance. In a distant
corner, place finer textures in the corner, sequencing to
coarser textures on the arms.
In colour sequence, select which colour will dominate (darkest or
purest colour) and use proportionally more of the other colours as it
works out.
In colour contrasts, use one-third one colour and two-
thirds the complementary colour.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
‘ Design Development’
27. Scale refers to the way in which objects, like plants, people, or structures, relate
to each other in size. The goal is to create a pleasing relationship among the
three dimensions of length, width, and depth or height.
Low scale is relaxing and calming. It is used in the home landscape to
give a feeling of peace and relaxation.
High scale promotes action. It is used around large buildings and
in large spaces to fill the space.
Rhythm doesn’t necessarily require literal repetition. An example of rhythm is
the gradual change along a planting bed of warm colours and coarse textures
to cooler colours and finer textures, and then back to warm and coarse. As
different plants come into bloom and then recede, to be replaced by others,
there will still be a satisfying sense of visual rhythm.
‘ Design Development’
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
28. Simplicity is a degrees of repetition rather than constant change, creating unity.
Variety is diversity and contrast in form, texture, and colour preventing monotony.
Similar shapes and colours reinforce a theme. But certain focal points, by virtue of
their interesting character, deserve major attention.
Simplicity is gained with the shrub row repeating the same
plant materials. Variety is added with the tree.
Break plants up into groupings, maintaining some of the
same plants in the groupings but adding other plants for
variety.
It adds a pleasing sense of tension between elements.
Eye movement is directed towards a center of interest that takes a position of
prominence in the landscape.
Emphasis is achieved with the tree being dominant and the
shrub grouping being subordinate.
Emphasis is added by the red tree.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
‘ Design Development’
29. Landscape architect should give careful attention to the growing conditions
and unique needs of certain plants before using them in the landscape
design.
- To reduce pesticide use, reduce maintenance efforts, like pruning; and
encourage longer-living, better-looking plants.
Factors To Consider:
Cold hardiness or heat tolerance.
Hardiness of a plant is usually divided into three categories: tender, half-
hardy, and hardy. Tender plants are those killed by freezing temperatures,
while hardy plants survive freezing.
Light requirement.
Without adequate sunlight, plants would not be able photosynthesize and no
oxygen would be released into the atmosphere.
Soil pH requirement
Plants require more than just a usable carbon source for maintaining their
structure and increasing their growth potential. Also, soil serves to stabilize
plants and prevent them from falling over.
Rate of growth and mature size.
Fertilizers give plants an additional growth boost. Fertilizers are frequently
applied to stimulate plant growth.
Water Quality.
The type of irrigation system available influences plant selection. The size of
the irrigation system also dictates the maximum amount of water it delivers
and must be considered when selecting plant material.
Temperature Ranges.
When temperatures are too low, many plants, especially tropicals, perform
poorly. Alternatively, high temperatures limit the growth of many plants.
Disease and Pest Interactions.
If there is a limiting disease, or if a pest is present on a site, select plants
that are disease and pest resistant.
