Property owners with even the smallest outdoor spaces have developed creative ways to improve their landscape designs. This year, design-savvy professionals are opting to boost their backyard’s beauty and livability with eco-friendly and weather-resistant additions. If you want to give your backyard a facelift, the following guide may provide the on-trend design inspiration you need.

3 Backyard Landscape Design Trends to Inspire You

1. Smart Sustainability 

From smart appliances to energy efficient insulation, commercial and residential property owners have increasingly prioritized ‘going green’ in recent years. In 2018, many people are finding ways to incorporate sustainable practices into their landscaping layout. Planting native plants, installing ‘green walls,’ and utilizing recyclable landscaping materials like hardwood and stone are just a few ways to make your landscape more eco-friendly.

2. Edible Gardens

Gardens are obviously not a recent emergence in backyard landscape design. However, many more homeowners are incorporating colorful vegetables, fruits, and herbs into their verdant beds. This ‘urban farming’ trend helps contribute to food sustainability as well as promotes a more beautiful, greener landscape. From fall time squash to summer strawberries, homeowners can enjoy a bountiful harvest year round.

3. Outdoor Living Areas

Perhaps due to an increasingly urbanized environment, many homeowners are looking for creative ways to comfortably spend more time outdoors. Plush outdoor patio furniture complete with acrylic, waterproof fabrics is helping make that possible. Installing outdoor heaters, fireplaces, and covered patio areas also helps make the backyard more inviting, even during cooler months.
