VISUAL BALANCE

VISUAL BALANCE

Visual balance is a very important key to an well-designed landscape plan, and there are many different factors that go into it. The pictures on this page can be a reference to some of these factors. Notice the plant sizes in the designs, and how they flow up and down in height gradually in a way to match the terrain. There is a balance between straight lines and smooth curves. Plant types are differentiated, using evergreens, grassy plants, bushy plants, and flowering plants to achieve the optimal blend that provides color year-round. The design is meant to flow in such a way that one's eyes follow a line leading naturally to a focal point. Designs that take the visual balance of a landscape into consideration create environments that are much more pleasing to the eye.
