• Principles refer to standards or prescriptions
  for working with or arranging various elements to
  produce the intended landscape design. Good
  landscape design follows a combination of seven
  principles unity, balance, proportion,
  focalization or emphasis, sequence or transition,
  rhythm, and repetition. Checkout Landscape Design
  Suffolk County for more info.
• Unity refers to the use of elements to create
  harmony and consistency with the main theme or
  idea of the landscape design. Unity gives the
  landscape design a sense of oneness and
  interconnection. Unity in landscape design can be
  achieved by using plants, trees, or material that
  have repeating lines or shapes, a common hue, or
  similar texture. However, too much unity in
  landscape design can be boring. Therefore, it is
  important to introduce some variety or contrast
  into the landscape design.

• Balance gives the landscape design a sense of
  equilibrium and symmetry in visual attraction.
  There are three ways by which balance may be
  presented in landscape design. Symmetrical or
  formal balance is achieved when the mass, weight,
  or number of objects both sides of the landscape
  design are exactly the same. Asymmetrical or
  informal balance in landscape design suggests a
  feeling of balance on both sides, even though the
  sides do not look the same. Asymmetrical balance
  in visual attraction may be achieved by using
  opposing compositions on either side of the
  central axis. Landscape design with radial
  balance has a center point. A sunflower, a wheel,
  and the cross-section of an orange all have
  radial balance.
• Proportion describes the size relationship
  between parts of the landscape design or between
  a part of the design and the design as a whole. A
  large fountain would cramp a small backyard
  garden, but would complement a sprawling public
  courtyard. Additionally, proportion in landscape
  design must take into consideration how people
  interact with various components of the landscape
  through normal human activities.

• Focalization or Emphasis directs visual attention
  to a point of interest or prominent part of the
  landscape design. This could be a hanging
  earth-forms sculpture, a stone-finished
  Corinthian garden fountain, a mass of
  architectural herbaceous perennials, or an
  elegant spruce. Emphasis in landscape design may
  be achieved by using a contrasting color, a
  different or unusual line, or a plain background
  space. Paths, walkways, and strategically placed
  plants lead the eye to the focal point of the
  landscape without distracting from the overall
  landscape design. If you're looking for more
  tips, Landscapers Suffolk County has it for you.
• Sequence or Transition creates visual movement in
  landscape design. Sequence in landscape design is
  achieved by the gradual progression of texture,
  form, size, or color. Examples of landscape
  design elements in transition are plants that go
  from coarse to medium to fine textures or
  softscapes that go from large trees to medium
  trees to shrubs to bedding plants. Transition in
  landscape design may also be used to create depth
  or distance or to emphasize a focal point.

• Rhythm creates a feeling of motion which leads
  the eye from one part of the landscape design to
  another part. Repeating a color scheme, shape,
  texture, line or form evokes rhythm in landscape
  design. Proper expression of rhythm eliminates
  confusion and monotony from landscape design. Do

• And finally, repetition in landscape design is
  the repeated use of objects or elements with
  identical shape, form, texture, or color.
  Although it gives the landscape design a unified
  planting scheme, repetition runs the risk of
  being overdone. However, when correctly
  implemented, repetition can lead to rhythm,
  focalization or emphasis in landscape design.
