Contemporary landscape is a sibling of modern landscape. The two types of landscape styles are often conflated to be a single style since they appear to be the same. Yet, if you examine the styles closely, you will discover subtle differences that establish each in their own right.

Modern landscapes take the approach that less is more and incorporate a mix of concrete, as well as steel, to compliment the aggressive sharp angles typically found in its design. Contemporary landscape design has all of the above stated design characteristics but also adds a bit of a gentler touch. Whereas modern landscapes tend to avoid curves, contemporary landscape can find a proper place for them. You may see the presence of wood accents in contemporary landscapes as well more vibrant and diverse plant life interspersed within the overall design theme. These landscape designs also tend to use gravel and custom built water features.
