There should be a landscape architecture newsgroup dealing with the
science
of it. I would have already posted my contribution to such a newsgroup
awhile
back when I spoke of beauty in landscape architecture as the beauty of
"rows"
and that specimen trees dotted here and there are not pretty but ugly.
That
Landscape Architecture beauty is found when trees or shrubs or plants
are
in rows. And that if the Golden Mean Ratio can be observed in rows would

accent the beauty even more. A rectangle block or rows of trees of 1 to
1.61..

And the trees of a Golden Mean Rectangle must be about the same size,
otherwise ugly.

I have one lot that is now near complete in achieving a Golden Mean
Rectangle
with two rows of blue spruce and concolor fir. A row of cedar-juniper. A
row of
amur maple and two rows of buffalo-berry (russian olive with its silvery
leaves).

The visual one sees of this beautiful landscaped lot is that of a
rectangle
shape of its trees. You see a large row of juniper and bluespruce and
fir going west to east and just south of them is a row of amur maples
that
becomes buffaloberry (russian olive with its silver leaves) and south of

them is empty for me to fill in and then south is another row of
buffaloberry and south of them is blue spruce and concolor fir.

The beauty is that all the trees are nearly the same height but the fir
and bluespruce are the tallest. And then in springtime I have the
silvery
leaves of the buffalo berry slashed against that blue and green of the
firs and blue spruce. Looks like an artist went in there and painted.
In the Autumn I am rewarded by the red of the amur maples with the
silvery buffaloberry and then the borders of the bluespruce with
fir. I am thinking of filling in the central interior with more
buffaloberry
and then some lilac. I have some lilac already, but I need a row.

My father was a Landscape Architect. I wonder if there is anyone
who has a Landscape Architect design that is similar to mine above.
I doubt it. The idea is rows for beauty and the Golden Mean Rectangle
and the contrast of blue of fir and bluespruce to that of silver from
buffaloberry and the red of amur maples. The beauty of it captivates
me more than a VerMeer painting.
