Landscaping Trends of 2019
Homeowners are seeking ways to enhance their outdoor spaces and turn them into functional gathering areas, with firepits, pizza ovens and water features among the many additions being sought after – as well as gardens or vegetable patches – according to Adam Hallauer at Designs by Sundown in Littleton CO. He reports more people planning spaces specifically to host graduation parties or family reunions while creating cozy hygge spaces where family can linger comfortably together in cozy corners.
Homeowners increasingly opt for eco-friendly landscape design. This could mean anything from selecting drought-tolerant plants to including rainwater collection in their landscaping plans; rain barrels have become a popular way of keeping up with this sustainable design trend, particularly during times of heavy rainfall and in areas with frequent droughts.
Homeowners are adapting to the eco-friendly trend by using recycled materials in their landscaping and garden designs, such as using repurposed bricks for wall gardens or wood scraps for lawn edging. Many repurposed materials can also be repurposed in unique ways that give your landscaping more character and personality.
Integrating solar-powered lighting into your landscape is another effective way of going green, saving both energy and reducing carbon footprint. Be sure to select lights designed with durability in mind, rather than opting for ones with unsightly solar panels!
Hygge trend has led to an increase in people incorporating elements from indoor spaces into outdoor living areas, including pergolas or gazebos, comfortable seating arrangements and even full outdoor kitchens featuring grill, refrigerator, sink and dining areas. Furthermore, many of these spaces can be further customized by adding features that add coziness such as fire pits, soothing water features or soft lighting features that make an outdoor area feel even cozier.
People are making use of their backyard throughout the year by adding accessories like fire pits and pergolas, according to Monrovia. Prefabricated sheds for storage purposes are also being added, along with clever landscaping designs to make them blend more naturally into their yards.
Homeowners are also joining in the eco-friendly trend by increasing their use of horticultural products to maintain healthy gardens. This can include adding fruit trees and edibles into their garden as well as using products like worm castings and composting to improve soil health. Many horticultural items can be found locally as well as online – this way keeping up with trends while creating a long-term sustainable garden! This can make a real impactful statement that shows you are caring about sustainability!
