Landscape designers use their skill and knowledge to marry natural features and artistic innovation. The delicate and tasteful joining together of elements can be successful or disastrous, depending on the skill of the practitioner. For example, in eighteenth century England some estates were ruined by the brash and pretentious introduction of fake Greek temples into the English countryside.
The well known garden gnomes that roam across some urban plots may seem kitsch if there are too many of them, or if one big gnome looms large at the garden gate. However a single inconspicuous gnome may be inoffensive, and even become a successful garden joke in a different plan. A tasteful sculpture might also complement a water feature if design principles are implemented in its inclusion.
A professional plan will take account of the basic principles that affect design and architecture. In addition to those mentioned above the principle of transition is important. In an open space change is a constant as seasons come and go and plants grow.
Though change may be regarded as a constant, it is not always predictable. For example, climatic conditions may affect the rate of plant growth so that a small plant imperceptibly alters its proportions in a space. So, a garden has a face reflecting the moods within it.
The interior structure of natural things often reveals repetition. A flower owes its beauty to an arrangement of petals each with its identical pattern of colors, texture and shapes. In landscape design this natural ploy of repetition may be replicated. For example, a plan may provide for a series of identical topiaries as a feature.
