The subtle varying of contrast in line, form, texture or colour can attract attention to a design without inhibiting the overall unified appearance of the design particularly if there is a progressive change in the design element. If applied sparingly, the result can be an increased attraction to the overall composition. '''[NEED TO CITE LANDSCAPE DESIGN MNAUAL, LANDSCAPE ONTARIO (2014) PAGE 51]

===Grouping/massing===
Planting different species as single individuals can create a disjointed and un-natural aesthetic in a landscape design. Plants should be placed into groupings of varied numbers (e.g. groups of 3, 5 or 7) to create a mass, which can create a much greater visual appeal. One way to create a grouping is by beginning with a larger specimen, and then adding smaller species with complementary textures, colours and shapes. To create a seasonal grouping, evergreen species, and species with dormant season distinctiveness (ie. form, height, colour) should be included.
