Planting trees seems simple

Want it to be both beautiful and functional

We need to think carefully.

Expressing the designer's thoughts and meanings,



lonely but not alone

Each tree has a unique appearance, it is an individual that cannot be replicated, and has its own unique personality. Solitary planting can bring out the unique nature of the tree, making it the only focus, which means that one tree makes a scene.

Solitary planting does not seem difficult, but there is a lot to consider.

What kind of tree can meet the conditions for solitary planting, and where should the tree be planted to support a landscape? This requires the help of a landscape designer.

Once the design is integrated, the tree is no longer just a tree, but blends perfectly with the surrounding environment. It is not isolated at all, but rather the finishing touch of the overall space.

In an open area or corner of the landscape, a beautifully shaped tree can highlight the landscape and guide the line of sight.

A clean and minimalist space can make the environment more artistic. A tree can also be beautiful, simple yet modern.

In the philosophy of “less is more”, solitary planting is to use a single tree to enhance the entire landscape space and bring peace to our minds.

Using simplicity to touch the heart and gain peace, this may be the power of design. Let us quietly look at a tree, let go of the troubles of life, and quietly watch the flowers bloom and fall, and the clouds roll and unfold.

A tree stretches toward the sky, like our unleashed nature.

A tree in the yard is a way for people to communicate with nature. No matter how big or small the space is, it gives people a thriving comfort and makes the space full of vitality.

In interior landscapes, planting a tree if space allows not only enriches the greenery but also brings the space to life.

This trace of vitality improves the dynamic relationship between man and nature, and at the same time becomes a window for dialogue between man and nature.
