LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, May 16

Proportion is another one of the Principles of Design, and considers the ratio of areas and amounts; length, width or volume, comparing one part of the design to another. If a sculpture or birdbath is too small or too large for the design, it is out of proportion. Similarly, a tree that towers over a structure or a walkway appears too small for the front door are both out of proportion.
