1. living elements, such as flora or fauna; or what is commonly referred to as gardening, the art and craft of growing plants with a goal of creating a beautiful environment within the landscape.
2. natural elements such as landforms, terrain shape and elevation, or bodies of water;
3. human elements such as structures, buildings, fences or other material objects created and/or installed by humans; and
4. abstract elements such as the weather and lighting conditions.

Landscaping is both science and art, and requires good observation and design skills. A good landscaper understands the elements of nature and construction, and blends them accordingly.

     Landscape design is similar to landscape architecture. Landscape design focuses more on the artistic merits of design, while Landscape architecture encompasses the artistic design as well as structural engineering. Landscape design and Landscape Architecture, both take into account soils, drainage, climate and other issues, because the survival of selected plants depends on those.

     Traditionally, landscape designers and architects have used pencil and paper to plot the position of plants and other landscape features. Landscape design software has become a popular choice since the advent of the personal computer.

     We use the latest (CAD) and Digital Imaging. Using CAD allows us to create blueprint type designs and layouts which are less expensive and more precise for landscape installations procedures than hand drawn plans. The design should reflect the mature size of the planting material so that the plantings will not overpower one another when full grown.

     With Digital Imaging (Photo Realistic) technology we are able to incorporate a picture of your property, with pictures of trees, shrubs and other landscape items to create a comprehensive, educational and informative approach to each project. From the initial consultation, site review, concept drawing and final design, to the completion of your project, our objective is quite simply your "total satisfaction and delight."

     At Royal Landscapes we'll utilize the most advanced design technology on our projects. This process lets you see the finished look of your landscape before it is even started. Using computerized landscape design software allows us to create more accurate designs and gives us the flexibility to revise and modify at the customer's request.
