Modern landscape design just like modern architecture features geometric lines which can be used in most creative ways.  The straight lines are often refreshed with sculptural elements or water elements and thus offer eye catching outdoor spaces.

If you cannot decide which way to go when considering your garden layout the best solution is to turn to a specialist. Sometimes DIY projects may turn out more expensive than hiring a professional landscape designer who will offer you ideas and will get the best of the natural surroundings of your home. Both ways there are certain basic questions that arise when planning an open space. First of them is what you want – a modern landscape design or a traditional one? Next comes the dividing of the yard to create separate zones, the choice of elements – paths, water elements, plants or outdoor furniture. The possibilities are numerous and each owner need to think about the style and the budget too.

Quite often modern landscape design features outdoor grids. Grids can be arranged in many ways – concrete tiles and grass, stone slabs and gravel, even with different sizes of materials. You may be surprised to find out that arranging an open space with a grid pattern makes it visually bigger. The grid can be complemented by borders of planted flowers or flower containers which accentuate the strict geometry lines. Stone tiles add character to a modern grid design and relate to tradition in a contemporary way. Garden rocks look stunningly beautiful if used correctly and can become either delicate accents or a central point. The right choice of plants will add the dramatic effect and will make the whole composition stylish and dynamic. Of course, the style of the outdoor furniture should be in compliance with the character of the landscape design and become a part of it.
