The essence of the outdoors is a sense deeply invested in how we mold and shape the very ground upon which we stand. Terrain design <\/a>refers to the contoured design of your landscapes to add depth, texture and visual interest by raised or sunken areas of your outdoors. At Ducon Outdoor Living<\/a>, we believe terrain designs are as unique as you are, the customized approach helps create a uniquely functional and aesthetic outdoor area.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

What is Terrain Design?<\/span><\/h2>

Terrain design<\/a> is the art of contouring the natural or artificial ground in open spaces by introducing dynamic elements like raised or sunken floors, gentle slopes and even structured terraces. This adds depth, character, and multidimensionality to outdoor spaces that would have otherwise felt flat. In addition to beauty, the more important role of landscape design lies in creating functional zones within the same space, offering diverse areas for entertainment and relaxation.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

How Landscape Design Affects Your Outdoor Space<\/span><\/h2>

The addition of terrain landscape design into your outdoor spaces is to create a pretty space, facilitate usability and introduce focal points that increase the flow in your outdoor space. Here are the significant manners by which landscape design can have an impact on your space:<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Visual Interest:<\/span> The different levels and layers add to the landscape design. It can be a raised platform for seating or even a sunken garden, but either way, it will stop the landscape from appearing and feeling monotonous.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Added Functionality:<\/span> These sunken and raised designs create separate areas of your space. For example, you might have one raised area for an outdoor kitchen <\/a>and one sunken spot for a firepit with an outdoor seating area.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Defines Zones:<\/span> Different heights create functional zones for entertaining, dining or lounging. The flow of the natural terrain visually guides the movement through the space.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Better Drainage:<\/span> One of the most overlooked benefits of terrain design is that it promotes good drainage. It guides water away from key areas that are prone to pooling and erosion.<\/span><\/p>

Custom Terrain Designs by Ducon Outdoor Living: The Advantages<\/span><\/h2>

Ducon Outdoor Living offers three generic shapes-rectangular, circular and organic, this ensures your outdoor space is just as unique as your vision. Each of these shapes can be integrated into sunken and raised designs to meet your requirements.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>The Rectangular Landscape Design:<\/span> Ideal for clean and modern spaces, the rectangular design provides the ideal pathway for those favoring simple design. Rectangular raised areas come in handy for adding an air of sleekness to an outdoor seating <\/a>space or even a raised dining area, while sunken rectangular spaces can be used to create an intimate fire pit setting.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Circular Landscape Design:<\/span> The circular design is softer and invites people to more organic-feeling spaces. Want a sunken circular garden that feels like a space, or a raised circular platform for a dramatic seating arrangement? It adds symmetry and balance to your landscape design.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Organic Terrain Design:<\/span> Organic terrain designs work best when a more free-flowing, organic look and feel is desired. These fluid asymmetrical shapes will be ideal in capturing spaces that could reflect the natural shapes of lands without alteration. Organic shapes are ideal for gardens that wish to reach a more natural feel-good look that flows in conjunction with the nature surrounding it.<\/span><\/p>

How to Incorporate Ducon Outdoor Living into Your Terrain Design<\/span><\/h2>

You might think that incorporating a terrain design in your outdoor space may be intimidating but with Ducon\u2019s expert and personalized options, it’s never been easier. Here’s how you can turn your space:<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Assess Your Space:<\/span> Try developing an assessment for your current landscape. Are there places that can better be served by either raised or sunken zones? Perhaps you have a perfect space that would look great with a sunken garden or even an elevated raised platform to sit and dine outside.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Shape Selection:<\/span> Once you have determined the placement of the land architecture, it is time to decide which shape will best suit the purpose. The rectangular shapes go well in a formal and structured area, while the circular and organic shapes can fit well for the more relaxed and natural designs.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Choose Raised or Sunken:<\/span> Depending on the effect you want to achieve, one can choose between raising or sinking your terrain. This way, a raised seating area may serve as a focal point in your garden, while a sunken section may turn into some nook for having rest or a place to retire for a private tete-a-tete.<\/span><\/p>
