Big smile when I saw an old friend, below. Pair of focal points in double axis, laid in line with central pane of central window of house. Choosing another historic winner, layers of green, while contrasting shades of green & sizes of foliage. Nor does this garden skimp upon the full design, using, canopy trees-understory trees-walls of shrubs-groundcover shrubs & flooring.

Magnificent.
.
Simple. Proven. Copied for centuries.
.
Complete garden design class in 1 picture.

Lovely home, yet this Garden Design is for all eras & price points. Especially troublesome architecture. Think 1960's brick ranch backing the garden, below. Pendulum swing, in full, yet the garden design holds true.

There are 2 top garden designs surviving the ages, this is 1, above. And, the 2nd is a variation added to this one.
.
Look at the pic, above, while mentally labeling each part. Canopy trees. Understory trees. Focal point on axis. Double axis, Flooring. Walls. Once you become familiar with garden design terms, you own the process. Promise.
.
This is perhaps the most copied Garden Design of the ages, yet it is new/fresh with each iteration.
.
This is your cheat sheet.

Garden & Be Well, XO T

Very good post and I like your points. However I do think that lists still have some merit, but the poster should try to make the list original and explain every point on the list in detail.
