The Factors of Landscaping: When Water Fountains or Copper Waterfall Fountains are Necessary Or Not
Landscaping is basically the transformation or modification of a raw land’s features. At its most basic, it involves the altering of natural elements of the area such as the form of the land, the shape of the terrain, and the features that originally include in it like floral decorations. Although it is not to be confused with gardening, as gardening is only part and parcel of the much broader art of landscaping. Yes, many consider it as a serious art in that it is quite a challenging feat to reshape terrain and beautify it. It is thus not surprising for landscaping to be a profession licensed. In this sense, landscaping may be considered to be both an art and a science, just like many other professions nowadays—like interior designing.
What comes to mind when one hears this is commonly the landscaping of a home. The cliché’ mental image of a couple just starting to build a home and a family is not far off from advertisements and endorsements of landscaping agencies. It is inevitably the most common idea for landscaping.
For landscaping of a home, several necessary factors need to be considered. Terrain, although not very much needed unlike the landscaping of a resort, should also be considered. Where should the garage be placed? Is it safe for family members to be walking on this type of front lawn? Are there several uneven slopes that need to be evened out? Next comes the gardening plan. What kind of soil does the front lawn have? Will it suffice for certain flowery shrubs? Will it only do for the more water-resistant ones? Does the grass type need to be changed? Consequently with the need to consider its quality for accommodating floral species, it is a corollary to assess the microclimate of the land area. Then comes the more sophisticated aesthetic such as water fountains or tall grass sculptures. Is the land fit for these fixtures? Will a water fountain even be necessary? If yes then what kind? Will a copper waterfall fountain do? Or will it be too much?
Finally, in evaluating the certain qualities of the landscape, it is now ready to be modified. Although in the case of homes, the landscaper is often in tandem with the owner’s architect or interior designer. These three are the major game players for building the home right for one’s family. What is important to remember in home landscaping is not only what beautifies, but also what is practical.
Home landscaping sounds somewhat more creative. However, with landscaping both an art and a science, the more technical side of landscaping may be seen in constructing offices or buildings. In this case, more structural things need to be considered like the site drainage or vehicular access and vehicular traffic in front of the building. It is more complicated for these cases because then the challenge of balancing aesthetics and practicality and necessity becomes more difficult. Surely it would be nice to have a water fountain outside, but would that be necessary out in the street? Perhaps in this case, landscapers ought to put drinking water fountains inside the building instead. But that’s for the interior designer to decide.
