Topic: Consider Color Schemes When Planning Your Landscape

There are several factors that determine the kind of emotional response we’ll have toward our backyard environments. These factors also influence someone else’s experience when they’re looking at our landscapes for the first time. The form and texture of trees, shrubs and plants (individually, and in respective clusters), the proportions of our flora in relation to the yard as a whole, the placement of features like fountains, ponds, stonework and paths - all these things work together to paint a picture that may or may not be pleasing to the eye.
