This formal garden layout uses French parterre principles, balancing high-contrast white architectural elements against lush greenery. The central tiered fountain acts as a sophisticated focal point, while gravel paths provide clean lines and tactile texture. To achieve this look, maintain tight pruning on hedges and use a neutral stone palette for hardscaping to let the foliage pop.
