Minimalist hardscape design is becoming increasingly popular. Taking cues from the Zen gardens of Japan and the modernist architecture sweeping the globe, it celebrates the simplicity of life by creating a low-maintenance landscape that looks gorgeous throughout the seasons.
- Glass, stone, and concrete are central in minimalist designs. Further, these are extensions of architectural elements found within the structure. The closer they match the structure of the home/office, the greater the visual effect. Thus, you’ll want to carefully mimic these within your hardscape design.
- Fostering serenity within a purely hardscaped environment requires mixing a few softer elements into the design. Rock gardens, waterfalls, and raised flower beds can take the edge off. These features should be carefully scaled so that they blend into the landscape.
- Finally, choose your plants carefully. You will want to select low-maintenance, easily trimmed species that will not grow so large that they overtake the landscape. This helps maintain a sense of perfection and harmony throughout the seasons.
