Battinelli Landscaping & Garden Center believes when starting a new landscaping project your first consideration should be style. The style of your landscape should match the style of your house, but it should also be a reflection your personality.
This page showcases a variety of developed and distinct landscape styles, so you can choose the style you would like to see created for your landscaped property and yard.
Style Options:
Formal Style: A formal garden shows the style of straight lines and perfect geometrical shapes. Here the plantings seem orderly, not random, and they're closely managed and pruned to maintain the formal effect.
Informal Style: A house with a warm & cozy look to it can be enhanced with an informal style of design. That's where the beds have curving edges rather than straight lines and where the plants seem to be placed almost at random.
English Garden Style: English garden style is designed to harmonize with the architecture of the home, and it features mass plantings of shrubs and perennials.
Formal/Informal Garden Style: Combing formal hardscapes with informal landscapes. Using a formal walkway of paving stones and the flowers and shrubs are laid out in an English garden style with mass plantings of perennials and annuals and no formal borders.
Oriental Style: Oriental style is seen in its use of rocks, evergreens and water. A lot of different plants were used to create several perspectives.
Woodland Style: A woodland garden is done in a style to blend in with the wooded backyard and the sloping terrain. Even though the waterfall looks natural, it's actually man-made and it operates with re-circulated water.
Try to imagine how your ideas would blend in with your homes exterior design and other properties throughout your neighborhood. There's a certain value in keeping a visual continuity between the houses. In fact, you might want to incorporate some of your neighbors' ideas in your own yard to promote continuity.
