Smaller boxes. Both square and rectangular box shapes are useful in formal and contemporary garden designs to draw the eye and emphasize geometric shapes. For example, the landscape architect behind this London courtyard trimmed boxwoods into low rectangles to highlight the form of the stairs; larger rectangles sit on either side of the fountain. The crisp angles and uniform appearance take dedication to maintain (get out those clippers), but the design effect can be worth it.How and where to use them: To emphasize hardscape elements, in containers on either side of an entryway, mixed with ornamental plantings and as accent plants or focal points.
