What’s Modern Landscape Design Anyway?
It’s all about keeping things simple and functional. You want use clean shapes—think squares and circles—and calm colors to keep things feeling open, and organized. Embrace minimalism, where less is more. Think straight pathways, square planters, and rectangular patios. Opt for sleek, contemporary furniture with straight edges and without ornaments.

Things to Consider
Start by thinking about how big garden is and what shape it has. This helps you figure out what will look best. If your garden’s on the smaller side, keep design simple. For bigger spaces, you can get creative—maybe add water features or cool lights. Focus on open spaces and a simple color palette.
Choose plants that can handle your local climate. You want your garden to thrives, right? Grouping plants in neat, orderly rows or blocks can further emphasize the minimalist aesthetic.
It’s also smart to figure your budget ahead of time. Know how much you want to spend on plants, materials, and any help you might needs.
Get inspiration from photos we’ve gathered. Plan your budget ahead of time. If you’re feeling stuck, a landscape designer can be big help. They knows what plants are best for your area, they knows prices, and they can predict if your garden fits with your home.
With these tips, you’re well on way to creating modern garden that you’ll love!
