Landscaping


Do you think this is pretty? I don't. I like my nature a little more natural. Sometimes landscaping is beautiful, but often it looks overly done. I feel like flowers, trees, and shrubs should be placed in more organic sequences.

Everyone knows that these trees were placed here intentionally. However, they look lush and natural. This is definitely a better means of landscaping. The absence of a symmetrical design sequence is what makes this patch of nature beautiful.



What do you think? Do you have any pictures of symmetrical landscaping that looks nice? Do you think the organic chaos of nature is beautiful or unsettling?
