Landscape Contracting Majors

A garden designed to reflect typical urban environments (rectangular spaces of minimal area). In such environments it is important to take advantage of these conditions by designing and using plant materials the support the environment.

Concepts:
Utilizing plants of contrast;
Rectilinearity through the garden;
Right plant in the right place.
