Criterion or principle is a guide for you in
designing your dream landscape. Below are some tips and guidance that you may follow while setting up your
landscape design. Actually there are still many more and you can make your own
research. However you can read point below for the basic starter.
1. Consistency
We can translate this as having a specific theme (
Bali , Zen , modernistic , simple , etc.) or simply be consistent in choosing
the plant in terms of color ( green , bright colors , etc. ) , height ( 5 feet
higher , more lower than the knee , etc. ) , nature ( vines, tropical etc) and
so on . It is about giving the main expression of our landscape.
2. Equilibrium
It's about
symmetry in the landscape; example palm trees on both sides of the entrance
have the same number of trees on both sides of the garden and so on. Actually “imbalance”
is also a concept or principle in the design of the landscape; the abstract
form or "free - form" (free -form) but still consistent. For example,
the form of the flower - bed free-form but have the same flower color in it. Or
if we have a row of palm trees green and we interval with red palm at random
intervals so that the color is more vibrant without monotony.
Color is the main reason why we choose certain
flowers or plants. Bright colors like red, yellow and orange will look closer
and cool colors such as green, blue and pastel will look far. So if planting
brightly colored plants in front and behind the soft color, the page may appear
larger.
4. Line.
This is on the fence, road, bridge, stone
arrangements or flower bed design. We want straight or wavy? What is the theme
of our landscape?
5. Rate or
proportion
This is the principle on the size of the materials in the landscape design. If a small
area of your landscape and you will use a small
tree why suddenly there is a huge sculpture in the middle? Leave all
plants, and landscape so you have size at the same rate.
6. Deuteronomy
This concept with the principle of ' consistency ' last.
Just remember one thing; too much of one color or a plant to be boring. But too
many types or variety will cause the landscape looks like a check and do not
have a plan.
All in all this does not mean that this is final. There
are many other intellectuals in there that will have an idea or principle
design their own landscape. Hope these landscape ideas could give you something
to start with. Have fun.
