The entire garden area should be on one plane if it is possible to so construct it at not too great an expense. This level should be somewhat below the established grade of the house line (Fig. 113).

A garden constructed on different levels may be made very interesting, as it affords an opportunity to introduce many architectural features and to vary greatly the planting on the different planes.
