Unity in landscape design can be done by employing plants, trees, or material that have repeating lines or shapes, a typical hue, or similar texture. Too much unity in landscape design can be uninteresting. It’s critical to introduce some variety or contrast into the landscape design. Balance gives the landscape design a feeling of equilibrium and symmetry in visible attraction. There are 3 ways by which balance may be presented in landscape design. Symmetrical or formal balance is accomplished when the mass, weight, or number of objects each side of the landscape design are precisely the same. Asymmetrical or informal balance in landscape design suggests a sense of balance on both sides, although the sides don’t look the same.

Asymmetrical balance in visible attraction might be accomplished by using opposing compositions on each side of the central axis. Landscape design with radial balance has a center point. The cross-section of an orange, a sunflower, and a wheel all have radial balance. The size relationship between parts of the landscape design or between part of the design and the design in total describes by proportion.

A huge fountain would cramp a tiny yard garden, but would fit alongside a stretching public yard. In addition, proportion in landscape design must take into account how folks engage with varied parts of the landscape thru ordinary human activities. Focalization or Stress directs visible attention to a point of interest or distinguished part of the landscape design. This may be a stone-finished Corinthian garden fountain, a hanging earth-forms sculpture, a mass of architectural herbaceous evergreens, or a stylish spruce. Stress in landscape design could be accomplished by employing a contrasting color, a different or peculiar line, or a plain background space. Trails, walkways, and carefully placed plants lead the eye to the focus of the landscape without distracting from the final landscape design. Sequence or Transition creates visible movement in landscape design.

Sequence in landscape design is attained by the gentle progression of texture, form, size, or color. Transition in landscape design could also be used to form depth or distance or to stress a focus. Rhythm creates a sense of motion which leads the eye from one part of the landscape design to another part.

Repeating a color range, shape, texture, line or form inspires rhythm in landscape design. Correct expression of rhythm gets shot of puzzlement and monotony from landscape design. And eventually, repetition in landscape design is the continual usage of objects or elements with matching shape, form, texture, or color. Though it gives the landscape design a unified planting scheme, repetition risks of being overdone. When properly implemented, repetition can end up in rhythm, focalization or stress in landscape design.
