Landscaping is very close to painting a picture in many different ways. If you remember your art classes back in the day, your instructor may have advised you to choose a good, solid central point of interest for the picture, and to beautify the central point of interest by making sure the setting looks good. So when it comes to landscaping, the gardener in question has to conceptualize a similar focal point and have a good idea of how the whole project should look like once complete.
Is a bare, open lawn a good idea for the landscaping theme you may be thinking of? The answer is yes - you can always have a beautiful setting with a lush green lawn as your theme. It is restful.
This type of open landscaping adds a feeling of space to even small grounds. If the lawn space is littered with sundry flower beds and trees planted at the wrong place, it would look disorganized and overwrought. After all, would you wear a top hat and tie when attending a friend's birthday party? You wouldn't want to "over-dress" your garden this way.
Instead, when landscaping, you'll want to limit things if possible to one tree or one group of flowers. The tree (or trees) should not be the focal point. Let them drop a bit into the background. Try making them look attractive from the side view. Take note of several factors if you're mulling over trees for your landscaping project. Avoid choosing trees that stand out too much from the crowd. The tree should have a good shape, with something interesting about its bark, leaves, flowers or fruit.
The catalpa can stand on its own as an ideal tree for landscaping. Some of this tree's unique features would be the broad leaves and seed pods that cling to the tree even in the frigid winter months, and the flowers are quite attractive. You have free reign in choosing a tree's best features, and some of them you may want to try out would be the ash tree and its berries, the sugar maple and its unique and fascinating foliage, the copper beech and its leaves, the tulip tree and its tulip blossoms, and many other options.
Landscaping may follow along very formal lines or along informal lines. The formal style of lining would be everything the name implies it is - very straight and to-the-point when drawing the paths and rows, almost to the point of being stiff. The informal style gives you a much greater free hand. Be aware of the good points and bad points of each style.
So, in summary, you would want to plan for a wide open space in your lawn and keep one tree in the background, while focusing on the tree's visual appeal. If you have a balanced landscaping design, it would only make your yard appreciate in value and look pleasing to the eye.
