Encelia california OR Coast Sunflower is not just a shrub. It also can give layering affect to garden.
Using Agave americana for visual interest.
Ixora red dwarf can create the visual perimeter to help frame the garden.
Some species such as Ophiopogon planiscapus or ‘kucai’ is used as ground cover plants.
•Vines serve many purposes in the garden.• The most popular application is to 'green' up a wall or fence so as to cover unsightly construction.

Primary spatial role is as ‘floor’ that allows both free vision in movement
GROUNCOVER
UTM B12 WALKWAY
Provide a pedestrian circulation surface (less hard-wearing than a pavement) .
Tolerant species include many of the turf grasses when grazed or mown regularly, form surfaces suitable for relaxing, walking, play, sport, cycling
and occasional vehicles
GROUNCOVER
UTM TRAIL
A uniform carpet of mown grass or ground-hugging, smooth textured can be used to enhance the visual effect of ground modeling by closely following the
contours.
GROUNCOVER
TROPICAL GARDEN
Shrubs and herbaceous plants that form a higher canopy but still below knee height have further possibilities in spatial design.

SHRUBS BELOW KNEE HIGH…
This situation is like a foundation or wash in painting) or 'ground‘
against which the 'figure' is to be seen. In this way, low planting
can give a common ground or platform that unifies other planting
and elements in a composition.
It can be combined with taller herbaceous species, shrubs or
trees growing up through it.

Form hanging curtains
Trailers and climbers can be planted
in form a continuous mat of foliage
over vertical and horizontal surfaces.
By clothing new and old alike, climbers can give a sense of belonging and maturity to new structures or earthworks that have been inserted in an established landscape.

PLANT RECOMMENDATIONPLANT RECOMMENDATION
KNEE TO EYE LEVEL PLANTING…Planting that grows to between knee height and eye level can have a similar design role to a low wall, fence or rail. It becomes a barrier to movement and can be used to limit access but allow views
Shrub become a barrier to create movement and limit access in areas that are not welcome
Shrub create circulation dan guide people to walk
KNEE TO EYE LEVEL PLANTING…
It can separate areas for safety reasons keeping people or vehicles away from sleep slopes, water or from each other.
Shrub become a barrier to create safety reason for people.
KNEE TO EYE LEVEL PLANTING…When Tall shrub need room to spread laterally without encroaching on circulation space.
Low planting can provide a groundcover over which the taller species extend freely without the need for frequent cutting back or shaping.
Natural shrub provides counterbalance flooring for tall trees
KNEE TO EYE LEVEL PLANTING…
If this groundcover spreads over pavement or grass some incidental or natural 'pruning' will result from trampling. Where traffic is light, occasional trimming is needed.
It can separate areas for safety reasons keeping people or vehicles away from sleep slopes, water or from each other.
It can be used to acknowledge and emphasize desire lines or pathways where visual enclosure is not wanted
KNEE TO EYE LEVEL PLANTING…
Shrub cans provide privacy area for the building
It can be used to maintain a distance between people and buildings and other private areas in this way giving privacy while not growing above window sill level and reducing light.
KNEE TO EYE LEVEL PLANTING…
It can define a building area or domain, like a low wall, fence or hedge, but less formally.
Shrub cans provide privacy to building with distance between the private space of building with outer space
A mass or group of medium foliage fringing or near a building or other structure can visually anchor it to the ground and link it to the surrounding landscape.
KNEE TO EYE LEVEL PLANTING…
This is particularly important when a building or other structure is introduced into a landscape characterized by generous existing vegetation.
Shrub cans provide privacy to building with distance between the private space of building with outer space

ABOVE EYE LEVEL (Tall Shrub) PLANTING…
In the human scale landscape of parks, gardens, courtyards) ,streets and playgrounds tall planting gives privacy and shelter and screens intrusions like car parking, service areas and refuse bins.

ABOVE EYE LEVEL (Tall Shrub) PLANTING…
TYPE OF TALL SHRUB PLANTING
Shrubs and small trees with a canopy extending above eye level form a visual and physical barrier.
Planting taller than eye level forms both a physical and visual barrier.

TYPE OF TALL SHRUB PLANTING
So tall planting with a close knit canopy can LIKE a wall or fence-separate, enclose, screen and shelter on a smaller
scale than is possible with larger tree planting.
It can give privacy and shelter.

TYPE OF TALL SHRUB PLANTING
Like a wall or fence, tall planting can make a backcloth to ornamental planting such as herbaceous borders and
display beds. Example: Trimmed Hedges
Can provide a backcloth for display planting.

TYPE OF TALL SHRUB PLANTING
Tall Planting visual mass is similar to small buildings. Therefore, it can be used to balance areas of their masonry
or cladding.
Can accompany smaller buildings.

ABOVE EYE LEVEL (Tall Shrub) PLANTING…
TYPE OF TALL SHRUB PLANTING
An isolated pair of tall shrubs or a gap in mass planting creates a frame. It can frame a whole vista or attract attention to a focus or
landmark. This kind of arrangement can focuses attention and also invites exploration. Like an arch or gateway, it suggests a different
place to be discovered.
Can frame a vista or landmark.

TYPE OF TALL SHRUB PLANTING
When planted as individuals or small groups, choice tall shrubs have the size and presence to act as specimens and
a feature or visual focus within a human scale landscape.
Can make a specimen or visual focus.

TREE
TREE PLANTING
• The sizes of trees are of the same order of magnitude as buildings, roads, bridges and smaller industrial developments.
• Tree planting can be used for screening, separating, sheltering, enclosing, accompanying and complementing these larger structures.
• When tree species grow freely to produce a clear main stem or bole with their canopies above head height they leave the space above the ground open except for the vertical pillars of their boles.
What is it?
TREE PLANTING
• Trees can offer a quite different type of spatial element.
• Mature heights of trees range from about 5-40 metres
• For design purposes it is good to divide trees into:
Small: 5-10 metres (mature height)Medium: 10-20 metres (mature height)Tall: 20 metres (mature height)
SMALL TREE PLANTING
Above Eye Level 5 meter
SMALL TREE PLANTING…Small tree add scale to mixed plantings and can link to surrounding landscape
Mature Size Small Trees function: to create, define, divide large spaces into smaller planting zones
Small trees add vertical elements to a composition
MEDIUM TREE PLANTING10-15 meter
Medium trees can create spaces that contain smaller buildings and therefore have a greater effect on the spatial structure of urban landscape.
MEDIUM TREE PLANTING…
Medium and tall tree planting can play a crucial role In integrating massive industrial buildings, like power stations, into the surrounding landscape.
TALL TREE PLANTINGAbove 20 meter

Tall trees are less common in urban areas because of the space they demand.
Even though naturally tall growing species are often planted in streets and gardens
only to be cut or pruned once they begin to shade or dominate nearby buildings.
The size of trees over about 20 metres enables them to form the part of the primary spatial structure of streets,
squares and parks.
In the rural landscape large trees create a large-scale framework.
TALL TREE PLANTING…
This is a vital landscape role because the low-level clutter is often the most disturbing part of large-scale industry. The ability of trees to screen and
obscure views from further away than shrub planting can be made use of to manipulate views as the observer moves through the landscape.

Tree belts and plantations enveloping and extending outwards from such sites provide screening of near distance views.
From greater distances. although they cannot hide structures on the scale of cooling towers or turbine houses they can visually anchor them to their supporting landscape and screen the lower level ancillary development,
temporary buildings and car parks.

A tree with a distinctive feature such as attractive unique colour or
picturesque habit will make a particularly
notable focus. Large tree specimens or groups have this
effect at some distance and so provide foci and landmarks in the larger-scale rural
landscape.
