However, any shape or Shape is unique to each design and will ultimately follow all necessary paths and your visions. So many of the questions that I receive about landscape design deal with the shape of a design . You can add more later.

In the beginning of your design, plan for less, place just a few matching plant groups throughout the garden, and keep decor matching and to a minimum. This can sometimes seem cluttered and unkept when it grows in. A lack of balance is also created by placing too many or all non matching elements throughout a landscape design. As little as one repeated matching plant group, color, piece of decor, or hardscape can accomplish this. Repeating alike elements such as plants or rocks throughout the landscape will help unify different areas to each other.

Many times, a lack of balance is directly related to a lack of repetition. So landscaping often relies on other elements to create balance and harmony through unity. They’re asymmetrical and abstract in form and are often without any natural balance of their own. However, most gardens and landscapes are not exact or symmetrical in shape and form.

A garden, landscape, or any form of equal proportions would naturally feel and look balanced. And while there may be just a little more to it, this is how I explain it to make it easier for first timers and do it yourselfers to understand. It implies a sense of equality. Balance is a principle of all art forms, design, and even landscape design.
