7 Ways To Create A Welcoming Front Yard
June 30, 2020Top Landscape Design Trends
As with everything else that comes with owning a home, landscape design trends change with the season and year. What was hot last year might still be seen all over your neighborhood, but there is a chance that the next big thing in landscape design is starting to pop up as well.
While you may dislike some of the older landscape design trends of the past, we can practically guarantee that you will love a couple of the next big things in landscape design. We are excited that there are so many new design elements becoming available and we can’t wait to see a few of them in your yard and the yards of your neighbors!

Smokeless Fire Pits
When was the last time you went to gather around your fire pit with family and friends and not have to spend half your time dodging the smoke that was blowing directly into your eyes? We feel your pain and want you to know that you now have an option with the new smokeless fire pits. Incorporating one of these fire pits into your landscape design will not only add appeal to your outdoor space, it will also allow you to enjoy it so much more.
Remote Irrigation Systems
Fiddling with timers on the side of your house is a thing of the past when you install remote irrigation systems. You can easily control your sprinklers with your smartphone or home hub and your outdoor space will never look better! Plus, these high-tech irrigation systems deliver exactly the right amount of water, so you never overwater your lawn or flower beds.
Geometric Shapes
As you are planning the hardscape for your outdoor space, you must consider the next big thing in landscape design, which is geometric shapes. All those interior patterns are making their way to the outdoors and you can use them in so many places. We recommend placing them on your retaining walls, patio, and even the walkways leading throughout your yard.
There are so many different shapes to choose from and then once you add all the different colors, you may have a hard time deciding which ones are best for your outdoor area. Don’t worry, we can help you make the choice that is best for your needs and make sure everything matches! You will also need to make sure the other elements of your property match and complement the complex elements of geometric shapes, such as your driveway. We have specialist driveway contractors who can help you find the right theme for your property.
Dwarf Plants
Not everyone has lots of space in their yards, which means it is impossible to plant many of the larger plants, trees, and bushes. However, dwarf plants are becoming quite popular and you can plant so many of them together in one area. Imagine planting one-foot tall pine trees in your yard and being able to surround them with other plants and flowers without overwhelming a space.
Houseplants
Bringing the inside out has been the goal of many homeowners like yourself over the last few years. We recommend that you take this trend to the next level by bringing your houseplants outside too. Succulents have been an inside design trend for years, but the next landscape design includes these succulents, as well as many of the other houseplants you love.
You can plant these in many pots and scatter them around your yard. And since there are so many different pots and planters available, you can always find one that matches the landscape design style you are looking for.
Function
Homeowners have used their outdoor spaces for many years, but when you are creating new trendy landscaping, you will want to make sure all your spaces are functional. Native plants can create privacy, while heat lamps can be tucked away amongst the landscape for those cooler nights. Comfortable furniture with a contemporary design will look amazing on top of those new geometric shapes you install on your new patio or within any other seating area you create.
We hope you loved these trends in landscape design as much as we do. These functional and breathtaking outdoor living spaces will create an oasis for you, your family and friends!
