Creating unique and exclusive outdoor spaces with Cutters Landscaping
“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow” - Audrey Hepburn.
Yes, a garden is one of the most vibrant ways to embellish the home that has been the subject of one's dreams and hopes. And when fantasy takes shape, it embodies hopes for a happy tomorrow. How important is the outdoor space in building the character and look of the home? Does the ‘outdoors’ impact the ‘indoors’ and the people living within the home? Or are they separate entities? If so, then why do people take pains to design and decorate outdoor spaces around their homes? Well, Cutters Landscaping has all the answers to redefining outdoor spaces and creating unique, exclusive landscapes for every home and commercial property in and around Austin.
But landscape design is so much more than just planting a garden! A host of diverse elements coming together in an organized fashion, can create magic and transform the outdoors into a little paradise. There is a bit of art and a bit of science that comes together when designing a landscape. Certain principles should be followed to create the perfect landscape complementing the home, without which the yard or garden will look discordant.
Principles of Landscape Design
- Striking a balance - design involves planning. Whether symmetrical or asymmetrical, the design should be aesthetic, pleasing, and harmonious.
- Proportion - a landscape has so many elements. Optimum use of these elements in the space, in the right quantities and proportions, creates a composite effect. Mismatched proportions like too many large plants could crowd the space. Therefore all elements should be used in the right proportions.
- Use of colors - different colors have different effects. Colors play an important role in creating the ambiance of outdoor space. The surrounding area, the design of the home along with the owner’s wishes play a crucial part in this. For example, when planning a landscape design, Dripping Spring TX which has many wineries and breweries along with natural beauty, may need a different color scheme from Buda, a suburb, as the character of both places is different.
- Unity - an important aspect of landscaping is how well all the features amalgamate to form a whole. Many times, people want to create exotic outdoor spaces with over-the-top decor. Loud artwork, ceramics, with artifacts all over. A waterfall and a pond or pool. Large tropical trees and many-colored flowers. An isolated pergola standing in the middle of nowhere - all very animated features. But can give an opulent and suffocatingly loud aura if put together in one space. Just having fancy and expensive decor does not make the space pleasing and a unified whole.
Cutters landscaping has the expertise to create the right balance, proportion, and unity required while landscaping Dripping Spring, TX, or any other area in and around Austin.
