Balance
There are two types of balance namely; symmetrical and asymmetrical balance. Symmetrical balance is when a part of a landscape is similar or a mirror image of the opposite side. It is basically used in formal landscapes. Balance in this context refers to the state where the visual agrees with the soul of the design. A landscape with a sense of balance is sure to make anyone feel relaxed, comfortable and at peace. The shape of plants, flowers, their patterns and how they’re arranged are all geometric designs of a landscape to strike a balance that is also orderly. While asymmetrical balance is a design that appears to be equal but not similar or matching. It’s known as informal balance where the two sides of a landscape are different from each other.  
 
Rhythm and Line
Rhythms are particularly used in creating a variation of feelings like excitement, consistency, passion or reassurance depending on how they’re applied. Rhythm takes place when a design is repeated with at a clear and standard interval using elements like plants, benches or other forms of structural components. It’s the shape and form of planting beds, sidewalks and other features that creates a line within a landscape. These elements; rhythm and line, are what gives a landscape a sense of movement that keeps attracting you into it.
 
Focalization
Focalization can be the focalization of interest or just focal point, which is the place that attracts a viewer first. Every good design has a focal point that drives or attracts people to it. This is how we are basically attracted to a place and instinctively find ourselves going in that direction. A focal point plays on people’s attention and draws them. It’s the most important and valuable element of design in any landscape. If a design lacks a focal point, it’s as good as nothing. Psychologically, people are attracted to bright, artistic and entertaining objects, that’s why most focal points are situated at the entrance of a place.
 
Simplicity
When a landscape is disorderly, fussy or messy, it becomes boring and uninteresting which is a mistake most landscapers make when trying to be creative. Keeping your landscape uncluttered, free and simple is a sure way to make it look inviting, attractive and lovely. It even brings about tranquility and happiness it doesn’t mean the design lacks creativity. The excessive usage of colors, curves, texture and shapes only confuse people and repels them rather than attract them.
