Planning your landscape with a well thought-out theme is a sure way to add character and cohesion to your yard and outdoor spaces. Several elements in a landscape designer’s arsenal can help you achieve the look that you want such as theme-appropriate plants, fencing, lighting, decorative details, and water features, just to name a few.
Desertscape Theme
Ideal for arid regions, desert landscaping is very popular in areas like Palm Springs and Arizona. With a combination of plants such as cacti, succulents, and desert plants that thrive in hot and dry climates and strategically-chosen rocks, stones, pebbles, and boulders that complement the sandy brown and grays of the natural environment, homeowners achieve amazing desertscape looks.
Japanese Garden Theme
Japanese gardens conjure up images of harmonious surroundings conducive to quiet, peaceful contemplation. Instead of relying on artificial elements, oriental gardens prize natural elements such as simplistic and natural paving materials, lush evergreen plants, bamboo, and trickling water features or water basins and koi ponds. When it comes to fencing, opt for bamboo fence panels.
Tropical Theme
When we think of the tropics, images of palm trees, bright flowers, and lush greenery come to mind. When selecting plants that work well with the tropical theme, choose a combination of large, broad leaves, lush, green foliage, and brightly colored flowers such as the bougainvillea. Materials that suit this theme are lava rocks, rattan, teak, and even bamboo. Add a hammock to turn it into the ultimate tropical relaxation oasis.
We’re strong advocates of using lighting to extend the use of your outdoor spaces at night. Homeowners can, for example, use directional lighting to highlight impressive architectural features on their property in order to enjoy their beautiful backyard themes at night.
