Canonsburg Landscape Design – Well Balanced Home Landscaping

Canonsburg Landscape Design – Well Balanced Home Landscaping

Balance is a principle of all art forms, design, and even Canonsburg landscape design. It implies a sense of equality. And while there may be just a little more to it, this is how I explain it to make it easier for first timers and do it yourselfers to understand.

A Canonsburg landscape of equal proportions would naturally feel and look well balanced. But most Canonsburg landscaping contractors do not focus on making sure your landscaping is symmetrical in shape and form. They are asymmetrical and abstract in form and are often without any natural balance of their own. So, landscaping often relies on other elements to create balance and harmony through unity.

Canonsburg Landscape Design Issues

Too often, a lack of balance is directly related to a lack of repetition. Repeating alike landscaping elements such as plants or rocks throughout the landscape will help unify different areas to each other. As little as one repeated matching plant group, color, piece of decor, or hardscape can accomplish this. A lack of balance is also created by placing too many or all non-matching elements throughout a landscape design. This can sometimes seem cluttered and unkept when it grows in. In the beginning of your design, plan for less, place just a few matching plant groups throughout the garden, and keep decor matching and to a minimum.

So many of the questions that I receive about landscape design in Canonsburg deal with the shape of a design. Shape is unique to each design and will ultimately follow all necessary paths and your visions. However, any shape or form can be filled with elements and still be either dull, void, loud, cluttered, and unbalanced. Balance isn’t necessarily dependent on shape. It can be but generally its not. So don’t get too hung up on trying to even things out entirely by shape.

Similar To An Art Form

Canonsburg landscape design is an art form and so it deals with “all” the same principles that other art forms use. Repetition, unity, and balance are all principles of art that go hand in hand with each other. Architects use repetition in design by making doors, windows, fixtures, trims, etc. the same sizes, shapes, and styles. Imagine how your home would feel if every door, door frame, window, and fixture were of different sizes, shapes, colors, and types. It would be uncomfortable and chaotic.

In order to create a balanced and appealing Canonsburg landscape, we need to create some form of consistent repetition. In addition, as little as one matching element placed on opposites can create a sense of unity and consistency. It is the simplest and most utilized in softscapes, but it should be considered in the Canonsburg hardscaping process more frequently.
