Incorporating A Variety Of Textures And Colors In Your Landscape Projects

 

When designing your landscape project, it is important to maintain a wide variety of textures, colors, sizes and shapes in both your hardscape and softscape material. This creates a well-planned and eye-catching look that maintains interest. In the picture above, we have chosen to incorporate neutral toned brick pavers for the walkway and steps, with a mix of natural stone for accent pieces and additional stepping stones. The chosen plant material consists of a wide variety of textures, heights, shapes and colors with various blooming seasons. This creates a sense of fullness, warmth and diversity in the surrounding flower beds. To get the most out of your landscape project, it is important to consult with a professional landscape designer. Give us a call today, and schedule your free consultation!
