To measure unity, the five landscape design principles must have been correctly applied throughout the landscape. Colors, shapes, sizes, textures, and other elements create a unified space. Lighting, special features, bed shapes, and hardscapes must all work together to create a pleasing appearance and a unified landscape.

I looked at the wind, I saw the wind was coming from up here – that’s important because you don’t want to put fragile things in a wind break and things like that. And then that’s going to become important when I’m choosing plants because then I know exactly how big a plant or approximately how big a plant is going to get – I can design appropriately. So what you want to do when you do this is use graph paper. And because this is such a small garden and I could make it so that one square is one sq.
A lot of thought and planning goes into planting design, so asking questions and understanding the strategy behind the design will help you fully interpret it. The downside is that it can be hard for some people to visualize how the overhead view will translate in real life.
Take time to research landscaping companies online and look for reviews from previous clients who had positive experiences.
