Using height to shape emotion and perspective
Verticality in the garden is not merely a visual tool—it is an emotional one. Tall, slender forms draw the eye upward, creating a sense of depth, rhythm, and quiet elegance. They frame views, define axes, and bring a subtle sense of ceremony to outdoor spaces.
Cypress trees, in particular, carry a powerful presence within Mediterranean landscapes. Their form is architectural, timeless, and deeply connected to place. When arranged thoughtfully, they create perspective and movement without overwhelming the space.
At Serene Roots, vertical elements are used with restraint. Their purpose is not decoration, but composition. They act as living columns, shaping the way a space is perceived and experienced over time.
Height introduces contrast—between sky and ground, openness and enclosure. It adds dimension to the landscape and reinforces a sense of order rooted in nature itself.
