Hot Landscape Trends To Make Your Landscape Awesome

Want to make your neighbors “green” with envy? Incorporate these hot landscape trends into your landscape in 2017. It’s time to get a little dirt under your fingernails.

 Green Is So In

By green, we mean green. In fact, the 2017 Pantone Color of the  Year is ‘Greenery’. It’s time to ditch the rainbow of color and use varying shades of green instead. Green is a soothing color so sit back and chill in your garden.

Speaking of Chilling

Coziness is in. Create snug seating arrangements and intimate spaces. Enhance the senses by incorporating aromatic flowers, the sound of trickling water and gentle movement in the garden. Feel the stress leave your body.

 

 The Kitchen Is The Heart Of The Home

Truer words were never spoken, especially when the kitchen is outside. Outdoor kitchens and eating areas are special places to gather family and friends to make memories.

 Anything But Ordinary

More and more, people are selecting different forms of hardscape materials. Gone are the days of only being able to choose from brick patios and timber planters. Gravels, natural stone and recycled materials are just a few of the options available to choose from.

It’s All About The B’s

Bees, butterflies and birds. You can’t get much more back to nature than by creating an environment for pollinators and songbirds. Beautiful to look at and the need our help.

 Go Native

Not what you think, please keep your clothes on. Native plants are used to our environment so they thrive without much need for maintenance. They also look great and provide food and shelter for nature.

 Let There Be Fire!

Fire pits and outdoor fire places are hot (pun intended). Evening spent roasting marshmallows and telling stories make fond memories for a lifetime.Related Posts:
