What's your Landscaping Style?
I'm building a Spa on the 64 x 64 lot (Previously belonging to the Villareal Family) in Windenburg. This is only the second time I've built on such a large lot. I'm partial to smaller, residential lot...

Thank you @WildIrishBanshee, the front does need something, I agree, and also you make a good point. Landscaping usually evolves over time for my Sims as well. Mostly because the majority of them start out with nothing, just a bare lot R2R style.
Once they earn some simoleons, I'll start building. They usually have a good size garden by then and I'll build them a greenhouse when they can afford it. I'll add some trees, flowers, perhaps window boxes, maybe a back patio/BBQ area, very rarely a pool and that's it. Since most of my Sims houses are one story on small lots, any more than that and it starts to look very crowded.
Using that mentality on bigger lots, like this venue, it would probably look very sparse so perhaps that's why I'm questioning whether I need more landscaping? So I don't know if I truly do need more landscaping to accommodate the bigger 'yard' because of my aforementioned playstyle holding me back or not. lol
Aw, Thank you @Kathykins for saying that! I can't wait to send my Sim there once it's finished. She has to make a few more tubs first to pay for the build though. lol I'm building this venue as part of the Shipwrecked Challenge by @Jendowoz0612 . As others have said along with you, I do think it needs some shrubs or flowers along the front. Next time I go in game I'll see what I can do about that.
@Goth583 99% of my Sims have gardens too. I love gardening in this game. Well, except for grafting now since it was borked.
@AceOfKnaves I think I'm a bit claustrophobic in that sense as well, I like a lot of open spaces to move around. Could be because I live in the country in real life too and we own a lot of land, more than half of which is a forested field with trails cut in it. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll try that out too!
Thanks for all the suggestions and comments so far everyone! <3
