Take Inspiration from the Latest Design Trends

Looking for more ideas for your space? Here are some design trends that are not only currently popular, but they will also stand the test of time with classic styling. 

Modern Design 

Modern landscaping design combines clean lines with neutral colors. It is a sleek and contemporary take on traditional landscaping. There are several elements you can incorporate into your landscaping. Add a stone structure or fountain as a focal point. Installing a paver walkway brings style and functionality. Neutral colors, including brick, stone and plants, convey a peaceful vibe. 

Minimalist

Minimalism has experienced a resurgence lately. This design style focuses on a less is more mentality. To follow a minimalist aesthetic, avoid excess. You want to create an outdoor space with a minimal amount of landscaping. However, this does not mean a bare space. Maximize your space with plants and features that bring beauty without clutter.

Cottagecore

A cottage garden design brings ideas of whimsy and romance. Think of a cozy cottage in a blooming field of flowers. You can bring this same look to your outdoor space. Delicate plants paired with rustic features bring out the best of this aesthetic. Look for materials such as wood and metal to add accents to your garden. Also, flowing plants with bright blooms are a must.

Natural and Rustic

Natural and rustic landscaping has an organic look that is eco-friendly. Sustainable landscaping has been trending upward and continues to be a solid choice. Think about plants that enhance the environment, attract bees or other helpful insects and provide functionality for your landscaping. Our design experts can assist you in a landscape plan that is both aesthetic and environmentally friendly.

Accents for Your Space 

Now that you have an aesthetic in mind, you can turn your focus on accents. This can be in the form of plants, design elements or lighting, to name a few. Gather some ideas for your space to make it exactly what you want. 

Colorful Plants

Add a vibrant pop of color with your blooms. There are so many to choose from, including vivid pink, bright orange and powerful red. Make your landscaping stand out from the rest with colorful plants.

Native Plants

Incorporating native plants into your landscaping has several benefits. They will thrive in your landscaping as they are adapted to the soil and climate. Local wildlife, including birds, bees and butterflies, will benefit from native plants that support biodiversity.

Lighting

Lighting ensures you can enjoy your outdoor space at any time of the day or night. It also allows you to show off your landscaping after the sun has set. Landscaping lighting can be installed at ground level by landscape beds to bring focus to your meticulous plantings. An added benefit of light is extra security for your property. 

Water Features

Tap into tranquility with a water feature. From small fountains to large waterfalls, you are sure to find a water feature that complements your space. No matter which aesthetic you choose, there is a water feature that will fit in perfectly. 

Retaining Walls

Retaining walls serve a dual purpose. They add shape to landscaping beds and can define a patio space, but they also assist with water runoff for healthy lawns. Protect your home’s foundation and areas prone to erosion with retaining walls while also giving interest to your space.
