As you plan your new landscape design with the team at Landscapers Corner, you may find that you’re overwhelmed by all the possibilities of what to do with your yard. Getting some inspiration from the latest trends this year may help you determine what you want from your space. Take a look at a few of the biggest current trends in Lexington, KY.

2018’s Biggest Landscape Design Trends

1. Sustainability

As public awareness of global climate issues rises, so does the popularity of bringing sustainability into the home. There are some ways locals do this with their landscaping. First, they plant local flora in the yard, which thrives easier in the climate and helps support the local wildlife. Second, they design a yard with water conservation in mind. This includes planning a landscape of low-water-use plants and using smart irrigation technology to prevent waste.

2. Indoor-Outdoor Living

Homeowners are drawn to indoor-outdoor living, which provides a transitive space they can enjoy no matter what the weather is like. For example, pergolas can have a retractable canopy installed to sit outside even while it’s raining and to protect the furniture underneath from the elements. The installation of heat-creating fireplaces and an abundance of heaters around an outdoor space make it possible to enjoy the outdoors on uncomfortably cool days.

3. Designated Functions

The multi-use patio is being replaced by experiential design. People are getting creative in building a space designed for a specific function, whether it’s work, play, relaxing, cooking, or dining. This creates a dramatic “wow” factor. For example, a formal outdoor dining room could sit underneath a pergola, with a chandelier hanging from the ceiling and curtains all around.
