The basic principles of landscape design are proportion, transition, unity, rhythm, balance, and focalization. These principles help create a balanced and harmonious aesthetic for your outdoor space. Proportion ensures the size of components aligns with the landscape as a whole. Transition ensures the smooth visual flow from one area to another. Unity brings the design together, ensuring all components complement each other. Rhythm involves repeating patterns or motifs to guide viewers’ eye movements. Balance ensures equal visual weight and consistency across the landscape. Lastly, focalization directs viewers’ attention toward a specific element or area in the landscape.
