75 Landscaping Ideas You’ll Love – June, 2022
Whether it’s a manicured front lawn, stone-paved pathway or intricate landscape design,landscapes benefit from the same attention to lebih jelasnya that the interior of your home does. Well-executed landscaping ideas can upgrade your home’s entire aesthetic, and the right plants, flowers and shrubbery can greatly enhance your curb appeal by adding color, texture and even fragrance to your yard.
Before starting on your new landscape design, berita umum your area and make some notes; you cannot concretely consider certain landscape decorating ideas unless you identify what kind of climate you are living in, how much you are willing to spend and how much space you have to work with. Additionally, as you browse severallandscape ideas and landscape pictures and make notes about the designs and landscapes that really jump out at you, keep in mind what level of ongoing maintenance is actually feasible.
If you love working with plants, a large rose or vegetable garden is the perfect use of land; if you live in a hot or dry area, consider drought-tolerant landscape ideas. If you have younger kids, consider what they would enjoy as well, such as a large grassy area or a playground, swing set or pool. Think about what your family would use the most, as well as what would help boost your resell value in the long run. Lastly, when it comes to landscapes, be sure to consider different front and backyard ideas, as they are separate entities that serve two very different purposes. What plants should I add to mylandscape?
When browsing landscape photos, think about curb appeal above all else;landscape designs are your chance to make a great first impression. A flower garden is a great option, but if ongoing care is a concern, you can simplify the process by opting for low-maintenance succulents, bushes or hedges instead. If you don’t have a green thumb, consider simple and easy-to-implement landscape design ideas, such as grass, gravel pathways, water features, statues, wood fences or stone walls.What features should I have in mygarden or backyard?
While landscapes are seen as a primarily aesthetic component, there are additions you can incorporate in yourlandscape design to make it as functional as possible. Thegarden can be designed for entertaining and playtime with seating, dining areas, play spaces and sunny relaxation spots. A vegetable or flower garden is a common yard staple, especially if you add an interesting element like a pergola, arbor, walkway or fence. If you’re looking for lively landscape decorating ideas, consider adding fun accessories like birdbaths and feeders. For the ultimate party house, incorporate a pool and patio, or consider a deck with a fire pit, outdoor fireplace, barbecue and/or outdoor kitchen. If you’re an active, sports-loving family, add a basketball or volleyball court, or set up a bocce ball or croquet area. And don’t forget about furniture! A bench in a garden makes a great reading or meditation spot, while a weatherproof chaise lounge, sofa and chair are nice for soaking up those sunny days.

Colour Theory
From Academia to “Gut Feel”
Unlike painters, most photographs have little if any pelatihan in colour theory. This is a pity, since unless one understands the physiological as well as psychological basis of formal colour theory it’s hard to understand why some photographs work and some don’t, except on a “gut feel” basis.
I find it remarkable, but over the years I have never seen a comprehensive article in any photographic magazine about colour theory. A thorough search of the web has also come up short. Since most landscape, nature and wildlife photographers work in colour it is important we understand the underpinnings of our art.
This is not a simple topic. It intertwines the physics of light, thephysiology of visionand our psychological perceptions. With this essay I hope to assist you in appreciating why we see colour the way we do and what can be done to improve our photography using this knowledge.
I’ve used coloured text wherever the name of a colour is used. After some initial reader feedback I discovered that even though it looks a bit garish it’s a considerable aid to comprehending a somewhat difficult subject.
Discussions about colour (British spelling) always begin with a colour wheel (above) and a discussion of the Primary Colours. Depending on the application and environment Primary Colours fall into three families…
YRB( Yellow / Red / Blue )
RGB is used by most electronic and transmissive-light technologies such as TV and film, and CMY (actually CMYK including Black) is used with reflected light technologies such as printing inks. The primaries traditionally taught in art school for painters, and for this reason the ones we’ll be discussing here, are YRB ( Yellow / Red / Blue ). There’s no point in arguing over which primary system is best— they each have their place in a specific discipline.First and Second Order Colours
Any colour of the spectrum can be made by mixing the Yellow , Red , and Blue primaries. This is why they are called First-Order colours. These are pure colours and are not created though mixing any other colours. If you look at the Colour Spectrum at the top of this page you’ll notice that while there are an infinity of additional colours, convention has it that there are in fact 9 additional Second-Order colours, for a total of 12 in the two groups combined. All other colours are considered Third-Order and won’t be discussed here much.
These 12 colours, starting at the top of the colour wheel with Blue and moving clockwise are; Blue-Violet , Violet , Red-Violet , Red , Red-Orange ,Orange, Yellow-Orange , Yellow , Yellow-Green , Green and Blue-Green .
Do you see the pattern here? Work your way clockwise around the Colour Spectrum, starting with Blue and compare the colours in the list below to their positions.
Blue PrimaryBlue-Violet 75% / 25% mix of Blue and RedViolet 50%/50% mix of Blue and RedRed-Violet 25% / 75% mix of Blue and RedRed PrimaryRed-Orange 75% / 25% mix of Red and YellowOrange 50%/50% mix of Red and YellowYellow-Orange 25% / 75% mix of Red and YellowYellow PrimaryYellow-Green 75% / 25% mix of Yellow and BlueGreen 50%/50% mix Yellow and BlueBlue-Green 25% / 75% mix of Yellow and Blue
Do you see how the Second-Order colours which are half way between the First-Order primaries, Violet, Orange andGreen , are comprised of 50% each of the First-Order primaries on either side of them, and the rest of the colours are 25%/75% or 25%/75% mixtures?
“Very interesting“, you’re probably saying, but what does this have to do with producing better photography? We will start to see how in a moment through looking at each of the First Order colours and the major Second-Order ones using some of my photograph to illustrate the points.
Yellow — A First-Order Colour
Aspens #1, Route 168, October 1999
Photographed with a Rollei 6008 Integral and 300mm Schneider APO Tele-Xenar on Provia 100F
While the Yellow of the Aspens in this photograph is a bit toward the Yellow-Orange end of the spectrum it will serve to illustrate this primary colour. (Finding pure yellow in nature is tough, except in flowers).
Yellow is the brightest colour. It screams for our attention and this is why warning signs are frequently painted this colour. Yellow and Yellow-Orange also are the dominant colours of Autumn and as such have a strong appeal to our emotions. Psychologically Yellow is a colour denoting happiness.
Snow Fence —Toronto, 1994
Taken with a Nikon F4 and 60mm f/dua.8 Micro-Nikkor
Red is intense. This is particularly so when placed against a dark background, and is one of the reasons that I chose it as a design element for this web site, (section dividers). Red is a universal warning colour and is therefore hard to ignore. A little Red goes a long way.
Blue — A First-Order ColourMirrored Lake —CA, 1996
Taken with a Mamiya 645 and 55mm f/2.8 lens on Provia 100.
The sky is Blue , and water is usually Blue , as it derives its colour by reflecting the sky. Blue is the colour which defines our planet. In fact from space Earth is seen as a Blue planet.
Blue is a retiring colour and conveys a feeling of restfulness and passivity.
Orange — A Second-Order Colour
Warm Turnout, October, 2000
Photographed with a Rollei 6008 Integral and 300mm Schneider APO Tele-Xenar on Provia 100F
Orange is a second-order colour formed from the mixing of the Red and Yellow primaries. While the first-order primaries have limited range before one is outside their scope, a secondary such as Orange has a broader range of possible tonalities.
In this photograph, taken along the Blue Ridge Parkway just before sunset on a day in late Autumn, we have everything from the dark Red tree in the foreground to the Yellow one center-right, accentuating the Oranges which add so much warmth to this image.
The bare trees scattered throughout the frame are essentially medium-Gray . Gray is the most neutral of all colours and through the effect of simultaneous-contrast (see below) appears complementary to any other colour in the frame. In this case it tends to subdue the Oranges , which would otherwise appear over-the-top. Nevertheless, the colours are an accurate rendition of late-afternoon light illuminating this scene’s fall foliage and ground-cover.
Green— A Second-Order Colour
Evergreen Hillside, Quebec, 2000
Photographed with a Canon EOS3 and 100~400mm f/lima.6L IS lens on Provia F100 film.
Green is a second-order colour formed from the mixing of Yellow and Blue . As with Orange it is capable of a wide range of tonalities or shades. Of course Green is the predominant colour of vegetation and as such is dominant in many landscape photographs. Interestingly, in searching my portfolio for sample images for this article I found that Green was the hardest colour for me to find. Curious. (I suppose I shoot too much in the desert Southwest).
Violet— A Second-Order Colour
Blue Ridge Sunrise, October, 2000
Photographed with a Rollei 6008 Integral and 300mm Schneider Tele-Xenon lens on Provia 100F
Violet is a Second Order colour formed by the mixing of Blue and Red . It is not a colour which is readily found in nature, though of course the flower of that name is a notable exception. Violet is a colour traditionally associated with nobility and it conveys a feeling of elegance and warmth.
Now for a look at our perceptions of the relationships between various colours. The following section discuss the concepts of Complementary Colours, Simultaneous Contrast, Complementary Ratios, and Harmonizing Colours.Complementary Colours & Simultaneous Contrast

Landscape – Wikipedia
Large fields of terkini farmland, Dorset, England
A landscape is the visible features of an area of land, its landforms, and how they integrate with natural or man-made features, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal.[1] A landscape includes the physical elements of geophysically defined landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including different forms of land use, buildings, and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions. Combining both their physical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence, often created over millennia, landscapes reflect a living synthesis of people and place that is penting to local and national identity.
The character of a landscape helps define the self-image of the people who inhabit it and a sense of place that differentiates one region from other regions. It is the dynamic backdrop to people’s lives. Landscape can be as varied as farmland, a landscape park or wilderness. The Earth has a vast range of landscapes, including the icy landscapes of polar regions, mountainous landscapes, vast arid desert landscapes, islands, and coastal landscapes, densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests, and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions. The activity of modifying the visible features of an area of land is referred to as landscaping.Definition and etymology[edit]
There are several definitions of what constitutes a landscape, depending on context.[2] In common usage however, a landscape refers either to all the visible features of an area of land (usually rural), often considered in terms of aesthetic appeal, or to a pictorial representation of an area of countryside, specifically within the aliran of landscape painting. When people deliberately improve the aesthetic appearance of a piece of land—by changing contours and vegetation, etc.—it is said to have been landscaped,[1] though the result may not constitute a landscape according to some definitions.
The word landscape (landscipe or landscaef) arrived in England—and therefore into the English language—after the fifth century, following the arrival of the Anglo-Saxons; these terms referred to a system of human-made spaces on the land. The term landscape emerged around the turn of the sixteenth century to denote a painting whose primary subject matter was natural scenery.[3] Land (a word from Germanic origin) may be taken in its sense of something to which people belong (as in England being the land of the English).[4] The suffix -scape is equivalent to the more common English suffix -ship.[4] The roots of -ship are etymologically akin to Old English sceppan or scyppan, meaning to shape. The suffix -schaft is related to the verb schaffen, so that -ship and shape are also etymologically linked. The modern form of the word, with its connotations of scenery, appeared in the late sixteenth century when the term landschap was introduced by Dutch painters who used it to refer to paintings of inland natural or rural scenery. The word landscape, first recorded in 1598, was borrowed from a Dutch painters’ term.[lima] The popular conception of the landscape that is reflected in dictionaries conveys both a particular and a general meaning, the particular referring to an area of the Earth’s surface and the general being that which can be seen by an observer. An example of this second usage can be found as early as 1662 in the Book of Common Prayer:Could we but climb where Moses stood,And view the landscape over.(General Hymns, verse 536).[6]
There are several words that are frequently associated with the word landscape:Scenery: The natural features of a landscape considered in terms of their appearance, esp. when picturesque: spectacular views of mountain scenery.[1]Setting: In works of narrative (especially fictional), it includes the historical moment in time and geographic location in which a story takes place, and helps initiate the main backdrop and mood for a story.[7]Picturesque: The word literally means “in the manner of a picture; fit to be made into a picture”, and used as early as 1703 (Oxford English Dictionary), and derived from an Italian term pittoresco, “in the manner of a painter”. Gilpin’s Essay on Prints (1768) defined picturesque as “a term expressive of that peculiar kind of beauty, which is agreeable in a picture” (p. xii).A view: “A sight or prospect of some landscape or extended scene; an extent or area covered by the eye from one point” (OED).Wilderness: An uncultivated, uninhabited, and inhospitable region.[1] See also Natural landscape.Cityscape (also townscape): The urban equivalent of a landscape. In the visual arts a cityscape (urban landscape) is an artistic representation, such as a painting, drawing, print or photograph, of the physical aspects of a city or urban area.Seascape: A photograph, painting, or other work of art which depicts the sea, in other words an example of marine art.Physical landscape[edit]Geomorphology: The physical evolution of landscape[edit]
Geomorphology is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric featurescreated by physical or chemical processes operating at or near Earth’s surface. Geomorphologists seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do, to understand landform history and dynamics and to predict changes through a combination of field observations, physical experiments and numerical modeling. Geomorphology is practiced within physical geography, geology, geodesy, engineering geology, archaeology and geotechnical engineering. This broad base of interests contributes to many research styles and interests within the field.[8]
The surface of Earth is modified by a combination of surface processes that sculpt landscapes, and geologic processes that cause tectonic uplift and subsidence, and shape the coastal geography. Surface processes comprise the action of water, wind, ice, fire, and living things on the surface of the Earth, along with chemical reactions that form soils and alter material properties, the stability and rate of change of topography under the force of gravity, and other factors, such as (in the very recent past) human alteration of the landscape. Many of these factors are strongly mediated by climate. Geologic processes include the uplift of mountain ranges, the growth of volcanoes, isostatic changes in land surface elevation (sometimes in response to surface processes), and the formation of deep sedimentary basins where the surface of Earth drops and is filled with material eroded from other parts of the landscape.The Earth surface and its topography therefore are an intersection of climatic, hydrologic, and biologic action with geologic processes.List of different types of landscape[edit]
Desert, Plain, Taiga, Tundra, Wetland, Mountain, Mountain range, Cliff, Coast, Littoral zone, Glacier, Polar regions of Earth, Shrubland, Forest, Rainforest, Woodland, Jungle, Moors, Steppe, Valley.
Landscape ecology is the science of studying and improving relationships between ecological processes in the environment and particular ecosystems. This is done within a variety of landscape scales, development spatial patterns, and organizational levels of research and policy.[9][10][11]
Landscape is a central concept in landscape ecology. It is, however, defined in quite different ways. For example:[12]Carl Troll conceives of landscape not as a mental construct but as an objectively given ‘organic entity’, a harmonic individuum of space.[13]Ernst Neef[14] defines landscapes as sections within the uninterrupted earth-wide interconnection of geofactors which are defined as such on the basis of their uniformity in terms of a specific land use, and are thus defined in an anthropocentric and relativistic way.

Landscaping Design Services – Oakland Nurseries
Don’t know where to begin? Let one of our landscape architects draw a design to address a specific landscape need or an entire master plan that integrates all your landscape ideas. Going through the design process with one of our experienced designers is a cost effective way to enhance the value of your property whether we install the landscape or you do it yourself.
Design Fees The cost of a design is primarily based on the size of area that will be landscaped. Typical residential designs starts at $200 for a front or back foundation plan (plantings next to house), then go up depending on size and complexity. This rate is based on the time it will take a designer to review your property, draw up a plan, then walk you through the design and estimate. Charging a design fee is the most equitable way to provide the homeowner with the best possible landscape design while compensating our designers and architects for their time and effort.
Just have a few questions or need a little knowledgeable advice? Consultations are a cost effective way to get expert answers from one of our landscape architects. The cost is $70 for the first half hour (travel time is included) and then $70 per hour after the first half hour.
Developing a commercial property? Oakland Design offers a full range of design services from initial site rencana to detailed landscape plans. Commercial designs are priced based on the estimated time required to create the plan, associated construction documents and specifications.The Design Process
Initial phone call from the designerOne of our designers will call you to schedule a time to meet with you at your home. The designer will also ask you some questions to better understand your needs, objectives, and the scope of what you want to accomplish. The designer will also provide you with an estimate of the design fee.
Meeting at your homeThe designer will walk your property, asking you some additional questions and taking notes that will be used in developing your design. The designer will also discuss your anticipated budget and complete a site survey. The site kuesioner consists of taking measurements and possibly photographs that facilitate developing an accurate plan. At this time you will asked to pay for the design so that the designer can complete your landscape plan.
Developing the planDepending on the complexity of the plan, the designer may be able to draw the plan while still at the property or it may take several days or weeks to complete. The plan will be a scaled drawing showing the type and location of the plants and other landscape features. The plan will either be sent or dropped off to you. Once you review the plan, the designer will answer questions you might have. Generally most designers will make one revision to the plan as part of the original design fee. If desired you will also be provided with an estimate of what it would cost to have Oakland install the landscape.Design Staff
Oakland’s Design has more formally trained Landscape Architects and Designers on staff than any other landscape contractor in Central Ohio. Additionally the design staff has over 225 years of combined experience in the landscape industry and has won numerous local, state and national awards.

A landscape is part of the Earths surface that can be viewed at one time from one place. It consists of the geographic features that mark, or are characteristic of, a particular area.

Throughout history, artists have found endless inspiration in the mysterious beauty of nature and the grandeur of the earth’s varied landscapes.Landscape artists can choose to depict their vision of the earth in a variety of ways. They can be painted realistically, in an effort to replicate nature as closely as possible (such as my Fields of Gold pastel painting below). But landscape painting does not need to replicate a specific place. For instance, a landscape painting can be created in an abstract manner, in which the imagery is imbued with a deeper spiritual meaning. A good example of artists who work in this method are the Aboriginal artists of Australia who create intensely detailed abstract paintings.(You can see an example of one of my colorful abstract landscape paintings below, which was inspired in part by Australian Aboriginal art.) Another class of painters who adapted the use of color to form highly emotional, creative landscapes are the Fauvists, who chose wildly unexpected colors for a jarring and unsettling effect. Landscapes can also be surreal and purely imaginative, as in Dali’s unusual and dreamlike artwork.Two very different landscape paintingsLandscape paintings also aren’t necessarily limited to depictions of land. For example, they can also include images of seascapes, cloudscapes, skyscapes, riverscapes, or cityscapes (otherwise known as “urban landscapes”). The main unifying element of any of these -scape artworks is that they all center around some kind of scenery.Landscapes can be painted plein air or from a photograph. Plein air is a French term that means “in the open air”. The benefit of plein air painting is that you can see the landscape right in front of you. You are already immersed and absorbed in the beauty of the scenery. There are, however, benefits to working from a photograph as well. If you work from photographs, you can work in the comfort and privacy of your own studio, without being dependent on daylight or the weather. You can also take certain elements from different photos to create a unique composite landscape. For example, if you like a hill from one photo and a gnarly old tree from another photo, you can combine them into the same landscape. Then if want to put a flowing river in front of them, you can.You can also work from quick landscape studies or sketches. If you’re out hiking and there is a lovely view that strikes your eye, you can easily whip out a small sketchbook or watercolor pad and use pencils, colored pencils, or watercolor to quickly make a sketch of what you see. It often helps to write notes next to the sketch, so you remember what color certain leaves were, or what shade the sky was. Oftentimes these “quick sketches” turn out to be wonderful works of art in their own right!In this digital age, anyone with access to a camera can snap a beautiful photo of a breathtaking landscape. There are thousands of heart-stoppingly stunning landscape photos circulating the Internet. So, with such terkini conveniences, why should anyone bother taking the time to painstakingly paint something that can be more easily captured on camera?For lots of reasons!! For one thing, the machine can never replace the artist’s hands, which work in conjunction with the artist’s eyes and mind – analyzing the source of light, examining the range of hues and tones, filtering the mass of information and transforming the outer vision into painted reality. Artists can use a variety of techniques within their chosen medium to add emotional undertones to a work of art. They can choose wild, “unnatural” color schemes that are expressive and striking. They can take creative liberties to rearrange elements in a scene, adding something here, subtracting something there, to create a compelling composition. Their landscapes can be realistic, or they can be abstract or surreal. When it comes to art, the possibilities are as endless as the imagination. Landscape painting was a highly regarded art form long before the invention of the camera, and will always continue to capture the hearts and imaginations of artists and art enthusiasts alike.
