Pictures Of Landscaping - Using Other Peoples Ideas To Design Your Landscape.
One of the most common searches on my site is for pictures of
landscaping. So I know that a lot of folks rely on photos of
other peoples designs to get ideas. But at the same time, while
I do have a large picture directory of other peoples projects on
my site, the most common questions I receive are still related
to specific shapes and design ideas.
It would seem that with as many pictures of landscaping there
are to look at online, just about everyone could find a close
match to their own property that could be copied. It would seem
so.....if every yard was square or rectangular. However, the
fact is that most yards aren't square or rectangular. So even
with the endless landscaping ideas and examples out there, it's
still highly unlikely that you'll find an exact match to the
shape of your property.
Don't tell anyone... but even as a professional, I still use
pictures of other peoples landscaping as an educational tool and
to get new ideas. However, unlike most people, I don't search
for an exact idea to copy. I look for unique, creative, and new
ideas and pieces of the puzzle.
Now here's a piece of advice and the point to this
entire
article.
When looking at pictures of landscaping, pay attention to the
details, ideas, and principles that are universal to most
designs. Look for the things that are common and repeated often
by different designers. These are the elements that look good
because they are generally based on basic principles of art.
These are the things that will probably incorporate well into
your own design project regardless of shape.
Other peoples landscaping pictures are a great design tool to
help you get your project done. However, instead of hopelessly
searching for your exact layout, borrow several ideas from
several different designs. You'll save yourself a lot of
frustration and have a much better chance of creating something
unique to your own property.
