In the landscape design, the proper selection of local materials can make the landscape design more regional.
At the same time, due to the wide source of local materials, which have the advantages of energy conservation,
economy, low carbon, etc., it is also of great significance to the local ecological environment protection.
1. Selection of native plants
In plant landscape design, local plants should be used as much as possible, because their physiological, genetic
and morphological characteristics adapt to local natural conditions and have strong resistance and adaptability.
Planting local plants can improve biodiversity, reduce maintenance costs and reflect the regional cultural characteristics
of the landscape.
2. Selection of local building materials
Local building materials, including wood, bamboo, brick, stone and tile, play an important role in rural landscape
construction. In landscape construction, different masonry patterns can change into different patterns, which enriches
the manifestation of landscape.
1) Wood. The rich colors, varied textures and various textures of wood create various possibilities for landscape design.
Wood comes from plants, so it has natural attributes.
2) Stone. Stone has a good coordination in the landscape, can be matched with a variety of garden elements, and is widely
used. The rustic charm of stone is very suitable for creating a local landscape.
3) Watts. It is generally fired with clay, with rough texture and simple charm.
In the process of using local materials to create regional characteristic landscape, it is necessary to pay attention to
the characteristics of excavation materials. The use of local materials can save resources, reduce energy consumption,
and inherit the traditional landscape style of the region, which reflects the respect for history and scientific and rational
attitude. In some places, traditional stone mills, pottery pots, etc. are used to skillfully reuse waste materials, turning waste
into treasure, playing a finishing touch. As a landscape designer, we should pay attention to the use of local materials to
make the designed landscape more distinctive.
