Color is an important aspect in creating a landscape. Colors have properties that can affect emotions, spatial perception, light quality, balance, and emphasis. One property of color is described relative to temperature—colors appear to be cool or warm and can affect emotions or feelings. Cool colors tend to be calming and should be used in areas for relaxation and serenity. Warm colors tend to be more exciting and should be used in areas for entertaining and parties. The temperature of colors can also affect the perception of distance.

Landscape designers help us to transform our property into paradise. Landscape designers help us craft our garden and express who we are, the life we live and what inspires us. Landscape designers help in creating beautiful landscapes from small urban courtyards to large country estates. With their backgrounds in architecture, art and horticulture, they are expert at integrating inside and out, home and garden, extending our living space into the natural world. The character of a garden can be changed enormously by simple means skillfully executed.

A garden can be a sanctuary for nature, a place where birds come to sing, and where the ever changing colors and forms of living things are at home, and it can be a sanctuary for the human heart, a place to relax, extend, converse, enjoy, a place to be. Stone, wood, metal, water- landscape designers know how to work with materials and with space to create a timeless place, a meeting of nature and nurture for their customers. An undistinguished space invisible in its ordinariness becomes a work of art and growth through changing light and seasons.

Their ability to create a custom garden design that satisfies customer’s needs and aspirations can provide real dividends in the value of their property as well as in their daily enjoyment of it. The basic elements of landscape designs are:

- Color
- Form
- Line
- Scale
- Texture.

These five elements must be considered in designing both hardscape and softscape of our property. Proper application of color theory can influence the mood felt in a yard. In landscape design terminology, form is the shape of a plant. Upright, oval, columnar, spreading, broadly spreading, arching/fountain-shaped and weeping are all examples of form. Line refers to the fact that the viewer's eye movement or flow can be governed by the arrangement of plants and their borders. Scale is concerned with the size of one component with the adjacent component. Texture is the perceived surface quality of an object.
