These elements of yard design:


Landscape refers to the use and transformation of natural landscape landforms within a certain area or artificially opening up landscape landforms, combined with the planting of plants and the layout of buildings, so as to constitute an environment for people to watch, recreation and live. It consists of four basic elements: land, water, plants, and buildings.

The design scheme is mainly based on the main building, supplemented by mountain stones and flowers to divide it into several spatial levels, of which greening is the main means to shape. Make full use of flowers and trees to bring their space together intact.

Since the style of the main building is European and the height is not high, it is designed with small shrubs and ornamental plants. Enrich the entire space with large areas of color variation. With the addition of roses, camellias and other flowering plants as embellishments, the design becomes more vibrant. On a large area of open space, different colors and shapes of privets are planted, which is a plant that we can see everywhere on weekdays, with a sense of intimacy. Originally, I planned to use a lot of uncommon high-grade plants, but if you imagine a large green meadow and straight trees, the scenery is indeed very beautiful, but it is incompatible with the main building. Therefore, when designing, even many small places must be carried out around the theme, otherwise it is a pity that the small piece has become a failure.

Secondly, from the time the design is conceived to the completion, it is always carried out around the main building. Creative design always follows the following principles:


1. Intention. According to the functional requirements, artistic requirements, environmental conditions and other factors, the overall design intention is comprehensively considered. The intention is not only related to the purpose of the design, but also the basis for the use of various compositional techniques in the design process. The so-called "intention is to write first". Although it refers to calligraphy and painting, the same is true for design. In the design process, the formation of the entire design scheme should be rule-based, and finding the laws contained therein is helpful to quickly find design ideas and complete design tasks. The so-called law refers to the common law of a certain type of design project, that is, the green form and plant species that can be adopted by a certain type of design project, and the forms and types that can be used in the design process are listed as the basis for design, that is, the commonality of the work; The so-called theme refers to the specific form of greening selected according to the law, as well as the plant species, that is, the personality of the work. Because the functional demand of the main building is a place for people to relax and entertain, the artistic requirements are biased towards The European style, the color is light, and the environmental conditions are not large in scope but there are mountains and waters, and they present irregular shapes. To sum up, when I first conceived, I intended to design the entire space as a quiet and serene atmosphere without losing the sense of the times. With this intention in mind, soft plants were put in at the beginning of the conception, and the combination of grass and fountains was used instead of sculpture. This also confirmed that my design is more emotional than rational.


Second, the layout. It is the central problem of design methods and techniques, with good intentions and environmental conditions, but if the layout is messy and out of order, it is also impossible to become a good work. Layout is extensive, from master planning to the treatment of layout buildings. My design is similar to a courtyard, visually with a tendency to be cohesive, not to highlight the main building, but to highlight the artistic conception of the entire space with the help of the combination of buildings and landscapes and flowers. In my design, the layout is actually very simple, and the vegetation is both the main scene and the side view. The planting around the plant divides the space, there is a sparse and dense, there is a main and a secondary, and the dots and lines are combined. But the main point is that these compositions are all in the service of the main building. 


3. Scale and proportion. Scale refers to the comparison of various components in space with objects with a certain natural scale, which is an important factor that cannot be ignored when designing. Functional, aesthetic and environmental characteristics are the basis for determining the scale of the building, and the correct scale is consistent with the functional and aesthetic requirements and is coordinated with the environment. The space is to provide people with rest, play, appreciation of the place, the space environment of the various group scenery content, generally should have a relaxed and lively, full of fun and endless artistic atmosphere, so the scale must be intimate and pleasant. The scale of house architecture can be from the size of doors, windows, railings, steps, etc. and their interrelationship in the whole, if it conforms to the human scale and the size that people are accustomed to, it can give people a sense of intimacy. However, in landscape design, in addition to buildings, there are also rocks, flowers and trees, ponds, sculptures, bridges, etc., which are not just placed on the table. Therefore, while doing any design, we must consider whether these scenery is in harmony with the main building, whether it is noisy, and whether it is easy for people to accept it easily. 


Good idea, good design, and good tools to choose when implementing. For example, the planting of trees can be made by choosing RBK series earth anchor, which can improve efficiency. Suitable to planting trees from 50mm to 150mm diameter. Which include the 40Root ball kit, 68 root ball kit, 88 root ball kit. Tree support kit also available. Easy safe installation, more trees canchored perr hour.
