Landscape styles are just like house designs, you have different looks such as Contemporary, Mediterranean, Tutor or English, Mid-century Modern or Traditional. When building a house you would not consider mixing up all the different building designs into one house and it is the same when creating a landscape for your garden. If you stay true to one style of landscaping throughout the property the overall effect will be more pleasing. However sticking with a style does not mean that you can’t be creative. When choosing a garden design you can’t go wrong with taking your house style as the lead. Mind you, it can also be very attractive introducing a different garden style than the house style; especially when blending the two styles to create a good balance.
