What Is Landscape Design Landscape design is described as the process of combining landscape architecture and garden design. There are three main aspects when combining these elements whilst also considering the aesthetics and functionality of your outside space. The first element to consider when looking at what landscape design means is personal style, take a look at your own home and what style you have or like, if you're not sure then why not take a look at instagram or Pinterest there is some fantastic inspiration available both online and in print in the form of magazines and books. Whether your style is Boho or Industrial there is always a way of incorporating your personal style preferences into your outside space. The second element to contemplate is functionality, what do you want to use your garden for, perhaps you like relaxing with family and friends, or maybe you're an early riser and want to have a space to enjoy the morning sun with a coffee in hand or do you just love nature and plants? It's important to really think about what you want to do in your garden, maybe it's all three of those things. A good design will look at everything from where the light and shade is in your garden to how your garden performs seasonally to create a space that works for you. The third element is size, when breaking down the elements of landscape design one of the most important things to think about is the size of the garden itself just because you have a small garden with good design it doesn't have to feel that way a good design will take the size of your garden into consideration and use techniques to create the illusion of a larger space through lighting, features and planting.
