“Xeriscaping is a style of landscape where plants selected are drought tolerant, reducing or removing the need for irrigation,” says Bertalan. For instance, small trees flanking a driveway or an entrance should have the same form to create unity. Unity, or “harmony,” is achieved when the viewer senses that all the landscape plants in a garden design complement each other and have been chosen with one overarching theme in mind.(Image: https://lakelandsepticcompany.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/designer-01.jpg) A good landscape design includes hardscape and softscape elements. Hardscape elements are non-living items such as rocks, walls, patios, arbors, or water features.(Image: https://connectionwebsitedesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/designer-01.jpg)
