A flat surface is a farm. The difference between Suzy Homemaker’s flower bed and The Fancy Pants landscape designer dude has a lot to do with elevation and grade changes. For example, when we look at nature and call it beautiful, what we are seeing are grade and elevation changes in the ground plane. Similarly we are seeing changes with plant material. We’re also seeing formal vs. “wild” landscape elements. If the scenery is too far in one direction or another, generally we don’t like it, and prefer a mix of the wild and the formal landscape. Presumptious? Yeah pretty much.
