There are many vital elements to consider with starting a new outdoor project. The small details can be exciting, and at times it can be easy to get carried away.

- Balance—you want all the different elements to make sense together. It should visually work together.
- Simplicity—In many areas of life, less is more, which can be seen when it comes to landscaping. You want your yard to be neat, clean, and uncluttered. This allows for less maintenance, as well as keeps your space functional.
- Variety—Considering the shape, size, and form of your plant and flower selections can impact the overall look of your space. This diversity will create a visual interest in your space.
