Most people going about their daily lives pay little attention to Landscaping Design. Little do they know how important it is to their overall mental well being. The visual environment plays a subtle part in how we see the world and thus how the world affects each of us.
Such an important and ubiquitous feature of our world is all around us. Yet it is all but "unseen" by most people. Some say that it a measure of its success. Like something subtly beautiful. It uplifts, but doesn't impose.
Landscapes that are not well Designed, or have little or no Design thought invested in them, are subconsciously offensive to our spirit. They tend to offend something deep within all of us. Something perennial.
Design in Landscaping is a very broad term. It can mean the clever structuring of the land around a small private residence. In that regards it means the careful planning of the position of various plant bed. It means deciding which plants should be grown in which bed. It also means the placing of ornamental non plant objects and items.
