    Modern Style

    Modern landscape design focuses on clean lines, simple materials like concrete and stone, and geometric patterns. It emphasizes outdoor living and uses things like hardscaping, minimalist plantings, sculptural elements, and water features to create a sense of scale and drama. Key aspects include sharp edges, repetition of design elements, open spaces, and the mixing of textures like stone, pavers, and plantings. Water is often incorporated through features like infinity pools, fountains, and waterfalls to enhance the environment.

    Modern Landscape

    Introduction
    • Modernism, in the context of landscape design, is a result of forms and functions that reflect the
    need for outdoor living spaces that enhance contemporary lifestyles. As Garrett Eckbo, one of the
    central figures in modern landscape architecture, said, landscape design is the "arrangement of
    environments for people."

    • Contemporary garden design tends to focus on scale as opposed to formal landscape designs that
    are based on axial relationships. It also foregoes the more classic landscape design forms and
    larger scale from Greek, Roman, and classical architecture traditions. This design motif became
    popular in the 1950 's baby boom, particularly in California where weather and lifestyle was very
    conducive to this innovative style.

    • In modern landscape design, boundaries between areas of color, textures and shapes are
    undefined--or conversely, sharply defined. Color and composition create the emotional response.
    Combining freshness and flair, these designs use dramatic geometric shapes to create a point of
    view that is fluid and natural. Water and light are often used, as in artfully-lit outdoor water
    fountains, to enhance the sensual loveliness and liveliness. The designs are arresting, both close up
    and far away.
    History
    • Modern landscapes have an emphasis on a specific time period, early to mid-twentieth century, which
    incorporates clean, sharp edges with simple materials.

    • Modern landscaping didn't arise out of one "school" of design but rather combines a number of
    influences and aesthetics. Mid-century design is surely an influence, particularly the geometric shapes
    and dramatic contrasts seen in prominent architects of the period like Frank Lloyd Wright. Brutalism is
    also an influence, particularly its use of building materials like concrete over natural stone. Concrete is
    less expensive than other traditional materials, giving it some desirability in urban planning for budget
    concerns.

    Characteristic
    • Clean lines and edges.
    • Hardscape materials are mixed and matched. Concrete, natural stone, pebbles, decomposed granite
    • Plants that have symmetrical or distinct growing forms and sculptural silhouettes.
    • Water is kept on site Using pavers, stone, and concrete can cause drainage issues and send rain water flowing into sewer systems.
    • Subtle uses of color with mostly various shades of green with one or two accent colors. ...
    • Minimalist look.
    • Repetition of elements.
    • Geometric designs, straight lines, and sharp angles.
    • Open spaces.
    • Lighting is low voltage and LED (smart)
    • Mixed texture
    • Trees are functional. Trees are not chosen or placed simply because we like them. Trees are used to create ceilings for outdoor spaces .They are
    a tool for controlling the scale of a garden. Deciduous trees benefit our indoor spaces by providing summer shade and winter light. Conifers of
    all sizes become punctuation marks and focal points year-round.
    • Grasses serve many purposes. Ornamental grasses are the "duct tape" of the modern garden. They soften hard edges, brighten up dark corners,
    screen, fill in gaps between slabs of hardscape, and transition the eye from patio to water feature to gravel garden to lawn., feather reed grass,
    and dwarf mondo grass are common choices.
    plant to choose
    should be Maintenance and Manicured Plants:
    Plants are generally compact and require limited maintenance
    in modern landscapes. Very seldom will a modern landscape
    have flowering perennials that need deadheading or regular
    pruning. It is more common to have trees, shrubs and
    ornamental grasses used in modern landscapes. Rather than
    planting annual flowering plants, which are not as
    sustainable, modern landscape designers incorporate artistic
    sculptures to entertain and add interest to the landscape.
    water
    Modern landscaping's focus on location and dramatic details often means incorporating a water feature. That water features
    may include:

    1.Infinity Pools: With the goal of creating a staycation oasis, homeowners are weaving the comforts of vacation resorts into
    their own backyards.

    2.Spas That Flow Into Pools: and pools were once treated as separate elements of a landscape. In modern landscape design,
    however, these two amenities tend to cross paths.

    3. Bubbling Rocks: If you’re looking for a low-maintenance water feature for your modern landscape design, add bubbling
    rocks to your list of potential options.

    4. Pondless Waterfalls :When space is at a minimum in landscapes, one of the best ways to create a focal point is with a
    pondless waterfall feature. Combined with the mixture of textures in the hardscape, foliage and lawn, the movement of water
    makes for a nice contrast that is sure to attract the attention of guests.

    5.Fountain Vases : While vases may be the typical home for flowers indoors, these decorative containers have found broader
    applications in modern landscape design

    Walkways and Pavers

    Modern landscaping has bold walkways and pavers are usually symmetrical and angled as opposed
    to curved or organic shapes. Pavers are often made of poured concrete, or cut bluestone. Brick is not
    seen as often, because its color variations and organic looking quality don't fit this aesthetic. Raised
    walkways are also seen, for their visual interest and also their suitability for houses built on slabs,
    stilts or platforms. We'll be seeing more of this as movable or kit-built tiny homes become more
    popular among homeowners.
