Landscape Design

Landscape design services are necessary for many projects because they become vital visual aids in solving problems and conveying needs and wants.

Think about what you have seen in a magazine, on vacation, or down the street. It doesn’t have to be something someone else has built. It can be elements created by nature: a stream flowing through the woods… rocks protruding from a hillside covered with moss and dotted with ferns… or a sweeping vista lined with mature hardwoods, disappearing into the distance over rolling hills… These basic elements contribute to both the aesthetic and functional aspects of outdoor spaces.

Have these words evoked images filled with the sights, smells, sounds and most of all smiles, which transform you from your everyday life to a place on your property that you can identify with pleasure? Perhaps a backyard landscape? Within a well designed layout of your property, there may be a gently sloping lawn, the graceful repetition of curves, finely textured foreground plants, coarser textured stones, or a curved path slipping around a corner to create the desire to continue further. Understanding landscape design elements, such as color, form, texture, line, and scale, plays a critical role in creating an aesthetically pleasing and cohesive garden layout.

Memorable landscapes occur frequently in nature. It is entirely possible for a landscape architect to capture these subtleties and make them present in your design. The different styles associated with your individual taste become the springboard to your personal landscape. Creating a comprehensive landscape plan is the initial step in designing a residential landscape. Bristoll Plantation has the experience and creativity to put this together for you.
