landscape design

Outdoor space arrangement

Landscape design is the art and practice of planning outdoor spaces—arranging plants, pathways, water features, and structures to create functional and aesthetically pleasing environments.

It encompasses residential gardens, public parks, and commercial properties.

Landscape design balances practical concerns like drainage and climate with visual principles like scale and focal points: We hired someone for the landscape design before building the patio.
