Trending Landscapes

As a landscape designer, staying updated with landscape trends is crucial. Similar to interior trends, the industry continually offers new and innovative ideas.

Hardscape manufacturers develop new products to showcase, complementing the emerging trends. Planting styles also play a significant role in setting trends. It's essential to understand that new trends bring along maintenance and upkeep.

Listed below are the trends that are currently popular in the market.

Spa Retreats with a Natural and Organic Atmosphere

A recent trend is spa retreats that combine contemporary and Mediterranean designs. Warm colors such as creams and whites, paired with natural elements, emphasize organic modern trends. These materials include stucco, travertine, wood, pea gravel, and others.

Naturalization of planting schemes is achieved through the mass planting of grasses, perennials, eye-catching tree accents, and native plants.

This trend involves adding pools, water features, fire features, saunas, cold plunges, and outdoor showers, providing all the spa amenities within the comfort of your home.

Modern Minimalist

Building on the organic modern style, modern minimalist design complements modern homes even more. It is as simple as it gets.

The materials include concrete, sizable pavers, glass and 90-degree lines and corners, with the addition of grey and black color schemes. Striking focal features are key.

Planting arrangements feature mass plantings with eye-catching focal points. Artificial turf and minimalist planting are central elements in this design trend.
