Thematic Residential Landscaping

A Japanese garden is one of the most relaxing spaces you can imagine, unique in the world of garden design. It’s all about tiny details – the beauty of the miniature leaves of the mosses, the curious shapes of bonsai trees, the gorgeous swirly patterns raked into gravel and sand and soil.

Cottage gardens embody a casual and occasionally untamed variation of the classic garden aesthetic. Within these gardens, plants often cascade freely over lawns and pathways, imparting a gentler, more organic feel to the landscape.

Warm, moist climates are the best for tropical gardens. Natural colored wood chips, crushed stones or gravel, smooth pebbles and simple dirt pathways are common in this garden style. Colorful planters and interesting pottery can liven up your space. These gardens do not require excessive care since they pretend to simulate the frondiness and disorder as the jungle.

In contemporary garden design, the prominence shifts from plantings to the functionality and aesthetic layout of the property. 

Unlike the perfect symmetry found in traditional gardens, modern and contemporary designs favor asymmetrical and occasionally interlocking lawn and patio configurations, contributing to their distinctively avant-garde aesthetic.

A rock garden is a garden that’s planting amongst larger rocks, stones or boulders. Predominantly covered in rocks and gravel, the plants are placed in the “pockets” in between the stones in order to create a natural look.

A coastal garden comes with exciting challenges of its own. This type of garden is very like a dry garden, also not dissimilar to a Mediterranean garden, being typically very well-drained It is rare to get a hard or long-lasting frost on the coast thanks to the salty air and sea breezes.

Xeriscaping requires little to no irrigation. Xeriscape yards often contain a mix of permeable gravel/mulch and native or no-fuss plants that will thrive in your yard with little human intervention. This neutral design style works for many different home types and it is also very low maintenance

Mediterranean style incorporates pebbled or cobbled walkways, bright colors, intricate patterned tiles and clipped hedges or topiary. Water features are also very common. Plantings in Mediterranean gardens are colorful and eye-catching. In this style, drought tolerant plants are informally planted.
