SOFTSCAPE ELEMENTS:
• Huge and dense trees are provide all along the compound wall as a buffer
from the noise of the exterior road thus preventing noise pollution and
purifying the internal environment.

• Flowering is used as the medium of segregation of spaces

• Low level and dense shrubs runs adjacent throughout the pathway to
create a buffer between two spaces as well as hides the services running
through it.

• Avenues are created along the lawn using palm trees.

• The lawn has soft green cover over the entire area.

• Granite seating are created to give a natural touch to the place. •

Surrounded by the trees of Champa flower (Botanical Name: Plumeria)
which is one of the most fragrant flowers makes the space more natural
and pleasant.

PLANT STUDY:
There are used outdoor plants to keep the temperature cool and ventilate the
complex. Additionally, they add aesthetic value to our home decor and
experience fresh natural air with these outdoor and indoor house plants.

At Kalpataru Riverside Complex we can see generally following types of Trees,

Plants as well as Shrubs:

Trees- Palm trees (Arecaceae), Champa flower tree (Plumeria)

Shrubs-Yew bushes, Garden Croton.

Plant – Sweet violet (Viola odorata), Rose (Rosa rubiginosa), Tulip (Tulipa spp.)

ANALYSIS (THINGS TO BE IMPROVED):

• Plants provided at boundary may having some distance from boundary

wall, because more the closer trees/ plants more they will harm the
boundary wall.

• Lawn should in level for proper shape and height.

• Swimming pool area should be covered by plants from all the sides for
privacy purpose.

CONCLUSION:

As beautiful spaces, gardens fill us with hope and wonder. They

nurture friendships and communities. Thoughtfully crafted,
they make us pause and appreciate our surroundings. Full of
edible plants, they nourish us.
By this case study I know about how to choose the area for
different hardscape elements with respect to their purpose,
also know about location of trees, plant, shrubs and there
types.
