Defined by clean lines and an overall uncluttered aesthetic, modern landscaping is the organic embodiment of “less is more.”

Perfect for contemporary property layouts or as a welcome contrast against a more traditional home structure, the modern landscape is one that strives for symmetry and balance above all else.

Unlike standard landscaping, which concerns itself primarily with flora & fauna, modern landscaping relies on additional components as well. Wood and stone accents, minimalistic patios, streamlined walkways, and even metal implements all play a crucial part in a modern outdoor design planning.

In terms of materials and ornaments, modern landscaping design favors the industrial over custom earthenware; raw concrete or angular tiles are ideal. Rather than grouping one’s greenery in circular plots, plants are placed in geometric schemes that guide the inhabitant in a straightforward, almost chessboard-like pattern, as opposed to a more romantic flower-lined roundabout.

The lawn itself is not the key player in modern landscaping, but is instead designed to flank and frame gravel-filled beds and path routes. When selecting certain plants and flowers for a modern yard, Asian varieties such as bamboo and boxwoods, as well as ferns and laurels, offer elegance and simplicity, and are relatively easy to maintain.
