Garden Construction: The inclusion of an arresting object within a small garden construction is an excellent way of detracting the eye from adjacent buildings and into the garden construction itself. The focal point in this garden construction is an ornate wrought-iron seat, which leads the eye down the garden construction. The rather austere rectangular lawn is surrounded by a mass of pretty, shrubby little plants, which together help to soften the overall look of the garden construction.
There are many ways of increasing the sense of depth in a garden construction. Vistas can be emphasized and "lengthened" by stressing the distant perspective. Eye-catching features can be used to draw the eye away into the distance, but there is no need to rely solely on the contents of your garden construction to do this. Make use of the landscape outside: let the outside world become the focus of your garden construction vista. If you are fortunate enough to have a garden construction with an extensive view, make the most of it. Use trees and shrubs to frame a glimpse of the scene beyond the garden construction. |
