This style is distinctive for its balance and symmetry. The layout is marked by symmetry, elegant straight lines and right angles. You can make out the modern, clear space at first glance.

Blend colors, textures and materials into new standards

Dare to be different. A creative blend of textures, materials and colors is key to achieving a contemporary landscape.
Concrete products are generally used copiously for their straight, rectilinear shapes. Don?t hesitate to vary paver shapes to adapt them to the spaces in your yard. Break the monotony of your design?s regularity and simplicity with other materials like wood, marble or metal.

Material is just one way to achieve a striking living area. Try contrasting paver colors, like ivory and anthracite, to get the right touch. Trendy colors can add a classy look to the overall layout.

For your garden

Taking the cue from Asian gardens, contemporary gardens are clear and Zen-like, using inert material like concrete items as a backdrop for the vegetation. Oversized square or rectangular concrete slabs pave the way to these spaces.

Select low-maintenance plant life for your vegetation, even trees or shrubs that you can trim into a particular shape. A sphere is a superb contrasting shape. Tall grass can give striking vertical lines that come to life in the wind. Boldly play with colors: there?s more than just green. You can get beautiful contrasts with the burgundy of European smoketrees or the blue of columbines.
