The important thing that you should keep in mind in creating a garden with the principles of Feng Shui is creating one that has a smooth flow of design. Applying continuity in every corner of the garden will help in generating positive energy. And this continuity will allow the positive energy to be directed inside the home.

Planting of colorful and fragrant flowers is also sought after under the principles of Feng Shui. The colorful flowers will add life in the dullness of a garden. The fragrance that comes from these flowers will envelope the surroundings with a pleasant scent that helps in giving home owners the strength and determination to perform their duties.

A colorful garden is also beautiful to the eyes of people passing by. This view will allow them to contribute in the positive energy that produced and obtained from a Feng Shui garden.

The yard divides into three major areas: the front area which is the part closest to the street and easily seen by people passing by; the service area which is the space allotted for garbage disposal, delivery, storage, and laundry area; and the family area which is place that houses the garden, play space, porch, terrace or patio.

For a striking front area, plant masses such as shrubbery should be placed around the base of the house to unify it in with the natural environment. The front entrance is the most significant facet and should be decorated by the planting. In general, the front of the house shrubbery should create a bowl-shaped boundary, lower at the center and taller at the corners. If shade is necessary, it is best to plant a minimum number of trees. Too much shade may cause dampness in the house and make growing a lawn and flowers more difficult.

Surface grades must be planned so that rain or melting snow will drain away from the foundations of the house. Terracing is generally the best means of achieving a good lawn and a successful garden on a steeply sloping lot.
