PRINCIPLES OF GARDEN DESIGN
MASARA
GARDEN DESIGN
• The art and practice of planning and making plans for the 
layout and planting of gardens and landscapes is known 
as garden design.
• The arrangement of hard landscape, such as walkways, 
walls, water features, sitting spaces, and decking, as well 
as the plants themselves, are all important aspects of 
garden design. 
• Our team of talented designers puts their creative talents 
to work and adds the finishing touches to the 
atmosphere.

ELEMENTS
• Whether created by a professional or an amateur, good garden design is based on specific principles, 
resulting in gardens that satisfy the objectives, aims, and aspirations of the users or owners of the 
gardens.
• The layout of hardscape, such as paths, walls, water features, sitting areas, and decking, as well as the 
softscape, or plants themselves, with consideration for their horticultural requirements, season-to-
season appearance, lifespan, growth habit, size, speed of growth, and combinations with other plants 
and landscape features, are all elements of garden design.
• How the garden will be utilized, the intended aesthetic genre (formal or casual, modern or traditional, 
etc. ), and how the garden space will link to the home or other structures in the surrounding regions 
are all important factors to consider when designing a garden. All of these issues are constrained by the 
budgetary constraints.

LOCATION
• The location of a garden may have a significant impact on its design. 
Topographical landscape characteristics like steep slopes, views, hills, and 
outcrops can propose or decide design elements like layout, and they can 
be exploited and supplemented to produce a certain impression.
• The site's soils, as well as the garden's climatic zone and numerous 
microclimates, will influence the sorts of plants that may be cultivated. The 
garden's locational environment might also have an impact on its design. In 
contrast to a rural environment, an urban situation may need a distinct 
design approach. 
• A windy seaside area, for example, may need a different approach than a 
protected interior position.

SOIL
• The soil quality of a garden may have a major impact on the design and subsequent success of the garden. 
Soil affects the availability of water and nutrients, the activity of soil microorganisms, and the temperature 
inside the root zone, and so can impact the types of plants that will thrive in the garden. 
• Soils, on the other hand, may be replaced or modified in order to make them more appropriate.
• The site's soils, as well as the garden's climatic zone and numerous microclimates, will influence the sorts of 
plants that may be cultivated. The garden's locational environment might also have an impact on its design. 
In contrast to a rural environment, an urban situation may need a distinct design approach. 
• A windy seaside area, for example, may need a different approach than a protected interior position. 
However, while many plants enjoy poor soil, not all gardens are or should be modified in this way. In this 
scenario, a poor soil that has been artificially enriched is preferable to a rich soil that has been artificially 
enriched.

GARDEN FURNITURE
• From a patio set with a table, four or six seats, and a parasol to 
benches, swings, different lighting, and magnificent antiques in 
harsh concrete or aged oak, garden furniture may be anything. 
• Patio heaters, which operate on bottled butane or propane, are 
frequently used to allow people to sit outside at night or in the 
winter. A picnic table is a table that is used to have a meal 
outside, such as in a garden. Stones, metals, vinyl, polymers, 
resins, glass, and treated woods are among the materials used 
to make modern patio furniture.

LIGHTING
• Garden lighting is an essential consideration when planning a garden. In most situations, heights may be used 
to classify and identify several sorts of lighting techniques: safety lighting, up lighting, and downlighting. 
• The most practical application is safety lights. However, determining the kind of lights and fixtures required to 
achieve the desired effects is more essential.
• Photosynthesis, phototropism, and photoperiodism are three key plant activities that are regulated by light. 
• Photosynthesis generates the energy necessary for plants to manufacture their energy source. The impact of 
light on plant development that leads the plant to grow toward or away from the light is known as 
phototropism. 
• A plant's reaction or capacity to respond to photoperiod, a recurrent cycle of light and dark intervals of 
consistent length, is known as photoperiodism.

SURFACES
• A smooth stretch of lawn is generally considered necessary to a 
garden in temperate western settings. Other surfaces, such as 
those composed of loose gravel, tiny pebbles, or wood chips, 
may be used by landscape designers to give a different look 
and feel. 
• Designers may also employ the texture and colour contrast 
between different surfaces to create a design pattern. Path and 
access point surfaces are chosen for both functional and 
aesthetic purposes. The designer may need to think about 
things like safety, upkeep, and durability.

SUNLIGHT
• While the gardener may not always be able to regulate sunlight, it is a crucial aspect of garden design. 
The quantity of light available has an important role in deciding which plants may be cultivated. As a 
result, sunlight will have a significant impact on the garden's appearance.
•  A rose garden, for example, will not grow in complete shadow, while a host garden will not flourish in 
full sun. 
• A vegetable garden, for example, may require placement in a sunny position, and if that location does 
not meet the overall garden design goals, the designer may need to alter other parts of the garden.
• The amount of accessible sunlight can be controlled by the gardener in some circumstances. The 
placement of trees, other shade plants, garden structures, or even buildings, when planning a whole 
property, may be chosen or altered based on their impact on the quantity of sunshine supplied to 
various sections of the property. 
• In other situations, the gardener has no control over the amount of sunshine. The amount of sunshine 
accessible may be limited by nearby structures, vegetation on neighbouring properties, or simply the 
climate of the region. Alternatively, the gardener may not be able to make significant modifications to 
the garden's lighting circumstances. 
• In this case, it is important to plan a garden that is compatible with the existing light conditions.
