There’s a certain amount of spontaneity and excitement about nature in its wildest form. One of the mistakes that property owners often make is that they manicure their landscape to an extend where it’s missing some of the essence of nature in its wild state. The following are a few tips for inviting some of the wild elements of nature into your landscape:
- Embrace simplicity – Your landscape doesn’t need to be a complicated design. Simplicity can provide much more visual intrigue. For example, a simple ground plane that doesn’t distract from your landscape’s harmony. Groves of trees may not be perfectly pruned and planted, but they add a sense of mystery.
- Invite exploration – Make walking from one end of your property to the other a unique experience by using narrow spaces to move through certain areas of your landscape. Compressing your space with overhead planes, such as walls, trees, arbors and more, can help improve a sense of exploration.
- Use local plants – Embrace your surrounding environment by using elements of the local landscape in your own property.
