Types of Landscapes

Landscapes for Every Style

We believe that your landscape should reflect your personal style while complementing the look and feel of your home. Whether you prefer clean and contemporary or timeless and traditional, our team will help you achieve a design that brings your vision to life. Each style we create is thoughtfully planned to suit your property’s unique character and functionality.

Modern

Defined by clean lines, simple plantings, and geometric designs for a contemporary look.

Traditional

Highlights classic design with lush greenery and timeless materials like stone.

Formal

Features symmetry, manicured hedges, and geometric layouts for a structured design.

Informal

Focuses on a natural look with curving paths, a mix of beautiful plants, and a relaxed feel.

Elevate your style with the right materials.

Materials help to establish the character, functionality, and durability of your landscaping. For example, natural stone offers a timeless, organic feel that blends seamlessly with the rest of your space, while pavers provide a clean, modern appearance ideal for contemporary designs. Regardless of what your style is, selecting the right materials ensures durability, complements your home’s style, and ties the overall design into a cohesive and balanced space!

The Critical Components of
Landscaping

At White Willow Designs, we bring together essential components to create a landscape that is both functional and beautiful. These elements ensure that your outdoor space serves its purpose while enhancing its overall appeal:

  • Plant Placement: Ensuring plants are positioned to thrive based on light, space, and climate.
  • Material Selection: Using the right materials to complement your home’s style and create long-lasting features.
  • Structural Features: Retaining walls, pathways, and patios that provide both form and function to your landscape.
  • Water Features: Adding an Aquascape water feature enhances your outdoor space’s overall atmosphere and draws you outside.

While these primary elements lay the foundation, there are smaller details that also play a critical role in creating a beautiful landscape design:

Soil Quality

The right soil provides the nutrients and structure needed for healthy plant growth.

Plant Zones

Plant zones ensure plants are well-suited to the local climate.
