Elements of landscape
 There are many varieties of plant materials such as:
• Trees
• Shrubs
• Creepers and climbers
Land covers .etc.
 USES:
Architectural
1. Enframement
2. Scale induction
3. Creation of plaza
4. Defines pathway
5. Welcoming look and
aesthetic appeal to the
building
Environmental
1. Microclimate modifiers
2. Conservation belt
3. Erosion control
4. Retains ground water
5. Retains soil fertility
6. Prevents siltation
Elements of landscape- Plants
 Plants create
outdoor rooms.
Trees, shrubs, and
ground covers can
be used to
emphasize the
desirable
architectural lines
and masses.
 Plants can be used
to soften and
balance harsh and
awkward
architectural
angles, masses
and materials.
Elements of landscape design- Plants
By graduating plant sizes away from the house, the
apparent size of the structure is increased.
Plants that reach large sizes at maturity are often
planted too closely to the house when small.
When mature, they dominate and make the
house look smaller
Tall evergreen create an uninviting, inhibiting
appearance to this entrance.
The human eye has a
tendency to follow the
outline of the objects in the
landscape.
With this idea in mind the
apparent size in affected.
Elements of landscape design- Plants
 Creating outdoor rooms
A small side yard developed into an
intimate strolling garden.
• The development of
outdoor rooms utilizes
the same elements as
indoor architecture-
floors, walls, and
ceilings.
• The difference is that
the elements of
outdoor rooms are
composed of plant
materials that have a
changing and
dynamic, living quality.
Elements of landscape design- Plants
Outwardly focused
space
Inwardly focused
space
Inwardly oriented
space is
characterized by
either complete
or nearly
complete
enclosure and a
strong central
focal point.
Central areas for
sitting, sculpture
displays, patios,
and hot tubs
require enclosure
for purpose of
privacy, quit, and
concentration.
Outwardly oriented
rooms are enhanced
by amenities outside
the space such as
good views and
breezes.
Activities taking
place within the
front yard are more
public in nature
and will require free
visual access on
and off the site and
little enclosure.
Planting beds and walks
act as a breezeway
between driveway and
entrance courtyard.
Various plant types,
heights, and
combinations create
walls, partial screens,
and overhead
canopies
Elements of landscape design- Plants
Environmental role
• Pollution control
• Noise control
• Climate control
embankments., deciduous and evergreen
plantings and masonry walls are used together for
effective sound control.
Use of windbreaks to control
winter winds
Use of deciduous plants to direct
summer breezes

or a tumultuous cascade, water
features add sound, movement,
and enjoyment into the
landscape. They also provide
opportunities for incorporating
pond and wetland plants into
your landscape design. The
choice and placement of
boulders, stonework, and
plantings can link the water
feature with your building and
property, creating a unified
landscape composition
Elements of landscape -Water
Water flows inevitably, from the source to the receiving ocean
basin. This continuity of rivulets , streams and rivers can be readily
observed.
 USES:
1. Excellent land water interface gives an ecological home for the
animals and plants.
2. Water runoff reduced.
3. Microclimate created.
4. Moisture level maintained.
5. Wetland, marshes, swampy areas are conserved.
6. Maintaining vegetation into wetlands.
7. Hydrological cycle maintained.
8. Site aesthetics are enhanced
1. Paving
2. Retaining wall
3. Stacked stone wall
4. Sitting
5. Shelters
6. Parapets
7. Bridges
8. Sculptures

quarry and is used much more often than
Rubble for the surfacing of the walls
