Whether your property is as large as an estate garden or as small as a backyard cactus garden, professional landscape design helps to ensure that your yard and outdoor living spaces work well for you, the family, pets and neighbors. It incorporates both hardscapes, or paved and permanent elements, and greenscapes, or plants and trees. It also considers the property’s size, sun and shade conditions, soil types and climate. A design will also identify the landscape theme—from formal, natural or Japanese to modern—that reflects the property owner’s taste and personality.

Themes and design principles can be applied to both the hardscapes and greenscapes of the garden, with colors, forms and lines, as well as textures and scale all playing an important role. Garden elements may be symmetrical or asymmetrical, with the latter often offering a more dynamic and interesting aesthetic.
