Rule 1: Function First, Aesthetics Second
Decide how you want to use your garden. Will it include a children's play area, a dining corner, a swimming pool, or an orchard? Designs started before functional zones are defined often require major revisions later.
Keep pH between 7.2 and 7.6
Free chlorine: 1.0–3.0 ppm
Alkalinity: 80–120 ppm
Calcium hardness: 200–400 ppm
Rule 2: Reflect the Architecture of the House
A geometric, symmetrical landscape language suits a modern villa, while organic, natural-looking planting is much more harmonious with a rustic building. The garden and the house should be considered as a single whole.
Rule 3: Use Layered Planting
The secret of professional landscaping is layered planting: large trees in the background, medium-sized shrubs in the middle, and low ground covers and flowers in front. This structure creates depth and visual interest throughout the seasons.
Spring: Jacaranda, wisteria, iris, tulip
Summer: Bougainvillea, oleander, agapanthus, lavender
Autumn: Salvia, chrysanthemum, sedum
Winter: Winter jasmine, viburnum, camellia
