Some Landscape Design Ideas To Enhance Your Home Landscape
A home garden is a place, which can give identity to your home building in a neighborhood. You can use very little creativity to enhance to look and feel of your garden design so that it stands out from the rest of the gardens in the neighborhood. Here is a list of probable landscape design elements you can add to your landscaping garden so that everybody loves it and you get the credit.
1) The compound wall of the home plot defines the boundary of the garden as well. Use painting design on the wall surface (inside), that will add excitement to your landscape and Landscape Design. You can go for a theme based paintings such as nature, waterfalls, sunsets etc..
2) Use stone sculptures of actual human size. These statues greatly add a human touch to the landscape and also defines a scale to the space. Everything we use in our daily lives such as clothes, kitchen utensils, office equipment, computer parts, are all always related to human measurements. If this is the case with all other objects, why exclude a landscape from it with Landscape Design.
3) Use a fountain with artificial mood creating lighting. This adds a great amount of curiosity during night.
4) Use Japanese stone lanterns instead of the normal ones. This is because stone has its own rough texture as against the smooth and fresh look and feel of the plants in a landscape. This creates "hot-spots" in the landscape if you plan to use light bulbs inside the stone lanterns for Landscape Design. These stone lanterns can also be used along a pathway to define the direction of movement.
5) Design a pond that flows partially into the home building. This is a great way to seamlessly connect the interior and exterior of a home landscape.
6) If your landscape has a swimming pool or Landscape Design, then instead of having normal diving boards, be little creative and make it into the shape of a house or the person coming out of the mouth of an animal etc...Your kids will love this and will be remembered whoever visits your lansdcape.
7) Create private semi-open patios in your landscape to Landscape Design. This is a great place to sit around and chat with your loved ones and also can be used as a small deck during a small party.
8) If you love pets, then try rabbits, ducks along with a small pond, in the backyard. These pets have very fresh colors and add great amount of liveliness in the landscape.
9) If possible plants flowerings trees with fragrance. This is a free and absolutely amazing way to keep your landscape design fresh.
10) Create levels in your landscape design to distinguish various areas as per the function of the landscape. A leveled landscape design always creates interest and curiosity.

Landscape Design
Landscape design is the design of open space urban or rural areas.
Landscape design is a subset of landscape architecture. Landscape design is concerned with large scale projects implemented over a long period of time and a wide geographical area. Landscape design is concerned with smaller projects often implemented by one contract in a defined period of time. Landscape design is distinguised from garden design in that it tends to be for public and corporate clients, whereas garden designs are normally designed for private clients. It is also distinguished from landscape architecture by referring specifically to the practical skill of producing a landscape design for a public open space.
