What are the Holistic Landscaping Concepts for the Yard?

Space Layout / Biophilia / Movement and Circulation / Rhythms, Patterns and Textures

Landscaping our plot of land, yard, or garden could greatly enhance the experience and comfort of our home, and our mental and physical well-being.

Beginning with the hardscape, entry and circulation of the property, we can organize and plan out the movement through the outdoor space.

Outdoor structures, sitting and lounge areas can serve as a place of rest, exercise and entertainment.

The landscaping, from tallest accent trees through the ground cover, could be visually appealing, as well as aiding the local ecosystem to thrive.

Additional features and multi-use elements can create a unique and familyfriendly atmosphere. Numerous materials, shapes and forms options provide for continuous, coordinated and zen setting.

Many systems are available to help us automate, irrigate, reduce our effort of upkeep and the use of energy while helping the environment.
