Introducing different styles in green space design-This episode: Arabic style in landscape and garden design.

Establishing a style is the first step in creating a successful landscape and garden design .

And it’s also a good starting point if you want to give your garden a lift. It helps you narrow down choices in garden furniture, plants and ornaments. You’re much more likely to find things you’ll really enjoy.

The Arabic style in landscape and garden design makes one of the most important areas for those who live in Islam, because the Yanna is the Islamic paradise and this concept means garden. Thus, we can be certain that the Arabs gave their garden areas some characteristics considered by them as the best, resulting in a garden of incredible beauty and designed for the senses.

One of the great advantages of Arabic style , apart from being a luxury, is the fact that you can enjoy a private garden area. This, in addition to having a pool, pond or outdoor Jacuzzi, can be decorated as one more wishes to enjoy it exclusively. For this reason, it is important to think carefully about how to decorate and condition it.

some of the most important features of design in Arabic style are:

  • Inspiration: The Arab gardens are inspired by oases, as the scarcity of water and the heat itself were accused in the regions where they began to take place. Thus, water zones are indispensable; A characteristic of this type of garden.
  • Zone: This garden area can be created both indoors and outdoors. The first case was the most common at the time and required (and will require) huge yards. If you design your Arab garden outdoors we advise that, in order to maintain the aesthetics of these types of areas, include at least one open wall or stucco wall in which tiles or floral motifs are included.
  • Levels: The design of the Arabic style is given by levels, there is a level of shade, another of plants with flower and, finally, the water level. In general, they are complex areas that must have a perfect interconnection for the garden to work.
  • Water:Water presents itself in different ways in this style, giving it the importance it deserves. Norias, ramps, fountains and canals shelter and move the element of life, purification and relaxation.
  • Irrigation: These areas are much more than a luxury for the senses. Also important are the orchards, which are included and are watered, as the rest of plants, from ditches.
  • Parterres: They are geometric and are surrounded by retaining walls at the same time as they are crossed by small pipes of cooked clay that are blocked with stones to control the irrigation at all levels.
  • Ceramics: The use of pottery is very common, installing it in arches, small walls and canals. It is beautiful and multiplies the reflexes.
  • The smell: Another main feature of this style is its aroma, which floods you when you enter it. This is achieved by selecting aromatic plants, with flowers that are also. The most common are citrus trees, roses and jasmines.
  • Delimitation: The Arab gardens are delimited with walls of arcs so that they can control the passage of the wind, with the intention of not changing the temperature of the area and, with it, its environment.
