Understanding Garden & Landscape Design

Designing a garden landscape incorporates several professional disciplines including the need for horticulture knowledge, construction expertise, drainage and irrigation expertise, as well as the need to have an extensive knowledge of design principles and how to incorporate them creatively in the overall plans. Landscape design draws on all of these different disciplines to achieve the unity of design which is necessary to create a safe, flourishing and aesthetically pleasing, functional landscape.

Once the designer understands the site, the client’s needs and the budget constraints, the landscape design starts with the creation of a conceptual plan, which is a rough layout of all of the design elements and there location within the site property boundaries and their relationship to the environment and the adjacent land. With the conceptual design drawn, a meeting between the client or client's representative and the landscape designer brings the conceptual design to a greater refinement based on how much in line the design solution is to the client’s desires, the budget and the design elements they wish to see in the final landscape.

Appropriate Plants

In general, virtually all types of herbs is easy to grow, especially in conditions in direct sunlight. In its growth, the plant should take about 6-8 hours of sunlight every day. Several other species can still be grown in shaded areas less sunlight.

Land that does not need berkondisi too fertile and rich in minerals, it can actually reduce the image of taste and rich aroma. It is better to use organic growing media in the right amount.

In the process of planting the most important is good drainage process, so that good soil is the soil is not too long in wet conditions and a smooth air flow. If there are areas that the drainage was not good, then you better do repairs and modifications to the underground drainage to be good.

Just a more organic

If the use of herbs that directly after the harvest, sometimes demanding crops free of chemicals that can harm our digestive system. Therefore it would be nice if the organic cultivation is a most appropriate choice.

With the growing organically is a way to not add stress to the land and will result in disturbing the existing plant growth. Because basically a good way to grow is to plant more focused on the fertility of the soil to the plants directly, because it was independent of our knowledge, it will be able to determine the soil and provide the best for the plant itself. This will actually different if we are too focused on the nutritional needs for the plant itself, damaging the balance and soil fertility. If the soil is stressed, the plant will also stress too.

The main basic principles for growing organically is to use organic growing media or topsoil, or care to use organic fertilizers and pest and disease control naturally without the use of synthetic materials made in factories. Sometimes the materials that can be detrimental to the soil, plants, insects that could benefit even if the man who consume them.

Modern Tropical Gardens

The concept of modern tropical gardens have many applications in Indonesia. This concept combines the diversity of tropical plants with modern elements. Garden was simple and still look gorgeous.

The concept of the garden can be combined from two different elements. For example combines elements of tropical plants with modern hardscape elements. The combination of two concepts is made much simpler tropical gardens, still beautiful, and the simpler the treatment.

One example of modern tropical gardens built by Andrie try the X-otic Garden, in the backyard of a house to live in Bandung. In the garden, Andie combining tropical plants such as tabebuya, frangipani, banana-Pisangan, bamboo nejin, and angrek, with elements of modern hardscape.

“The design of this garden was made by taking into account the desires of the house,” says Andie. Previously, the backyard is not ordered. Virtually be a fruit orchard, where in some corners of fruit trees planted sporadically. Seeing the garden, the owner was willing to make the garden a more orderly, beautiful, and minimal maintenance.

As a landscape architect, Andie replied that homeowners desire to deliver a modern concept of tropical gardens. Modern elements that try to offer including hardscape design. Swimming is made to follow a geometric pattern. L-shaped pool and placed his elbows on the point of a cylindrical water fountain, set in three-meter high wall. Highlighted the effects of strokes and water fountain wall to give the impression of rustic.

Not only that, modern elements are also obtained from the use of crystal strung together to form water droplets. This imitation of water drops appear more prominent at night when he highlighted the garden lights. Lighting effects are also used to expose the water to swell in the middle of the water fountain. “This is to give the impression of fire,” said Andie.

In concept, the idea of artificial garden belonging Andie brilliant. On the other hand, Andie did not forget about the ease in care as homeowners desired. Rather than alleviate the homeowners work will take care of his garden, Andi closed garden with grass area mini style. This grass is known as minimal maintenance grass.

In addition to closing the garden with grass area, some of the garden area adjacent to the terrace covered with planks of wood bangkirai. The circuit board is also well serve to expand the space on the back porch. From here make a connecting road between the porch with gazebo attached to the wall.

I Don't Garden

It's no joke. I could kill a cactus. Oh, and did I mention that my father is a landscape architect? What a disgrace! Yeah, I am guessing that is a trait that skips a generation. I have hopes that someday I will enjoy this past-time but as of now, I prefer to pay the kid next door to cut my grass and to buy my vegetables, herbs and flowers from the Whole Foods. But I think if I had a cute little shed like this one (above) or as organized as this one (below), I might reconsider taking up the hobby!
