3 Gorgeous Landscaping Trends for This Year

1. Create a Dining Space

Adding a defined outdoor space encourages you to spend time in the fresh air. Even if you don’t have a dedicated patio equipped with a table and chairs, work with your landscape design team to craft a practical area that’s suitable for lawn furniture. The idea is to reimagine your yard as more than just green space—make it a livable, functional area that family and friends can enjoy.

2. Add a Little Purple

The Pantone® color of the year, Ultra Violet, serves as powerful inspiration for landscaping this year. Use the purple color family as the foundation for a bright garden overflowing with violets, heliotropes, and irises. Branch out by adding pops of white or ivory to give your yard a crisp, unified look. It’s an easy way to celebrate spring without choosing more traditional seasonal flowers, like peonies and hydrangeas.

3. Work in Small Spaces

You don’t need to have a huge yard to make an impact. Successful landscaping plans work because they make use of whatever space is available. Even if your yard is small, adopt a minimalist approach. Think sleek lines of color, tiny flowerbeds, and crisp shrubs. The goal is to make a big impact using the smallest possible means.
