Many homeowners think landscaping is just planting flowers. However, a truly stunning yard requires much more. It requires a plan.
At Natural Scenery LLC, we treat your outdoor space like a room in your house. Therefore, we apply specific design principles to ensure the result is both beautiful and functional.
Are you planning a renovation for 2026? Here are the 5 elements we use to transform properties in King & Snohomish County.
Focal Points
Where does your eye go first? Every design needs a star.
Without a focal point, a landscape looks messy. For instance, a stunning Japanese Maple, a water feature, or a custom fire pit can serve as the anchor. Consequently, the rest of the garden supports this main feature.
Simplicity
Less is often more.
New DIY landscapers often make a common mistake. They buy one of every plant they like. As a result, the yard looks chaotic and cluttered.
Instead, we focus on simplicity. We choose a specific palette of plants and materials. This creates a cohesive, relaxing environment.
Rhythm and Repetition
Rhythm creates movement.
How do we guide you through the garden? We use repetition. For example, repeating a specific stone material or plant species ties the design together.
It leads your eye from the front yard to the back patio seamlessly.
Scale and Proportion
Size matters.
A small flower bed looks lost next to a large two-story house. Conversely, a giant oak tree can overwhelm a tiny bungalow.
Therefore, we carefully select plants and hardscaping elements that fit the scale of your home. Everything must look like it belongs there.
Why Hiring a Designer Saves You Money
Good design is not an expense; it is an investment.
Skipping the design phase often leads to costly mistakes, like planting trees too close to the house or installing a patio that doesn’t drain.
Do it right the first time.
At Natural Scenery LLC, we combine art with engineering. Let’s build a landscape that makes sense for your property.
