LANDSCAPE DESIGN
4-1. This house appears to belong in the landscape. (Courtesy, Church Landscape)
F you were to ask 100 artists to paint the same view of a street scene,
Iwould any two of the paintings be the same? It is doubtful. Each artist
views the scene differently. The colors they use would vary. Their brush
strokes would differ. Even the painting style (modern art, impressionist,
etc.) would differ. Is it possible then that all 100 of the paintings would
be attractive? Of course, it would be possible.
The same holds true in designing the landscape. Each landscape
design project has multiple solutions to the design. As you design your
landscapes, do not worry about the design being perfect. Follow the
guidelines in this book and do your best to provide a functional and
attractive landscape plan for the homeowner.
