The Future of Landscape Designs
As we all know, the future can be incredibly hard to predict. However, we, as well as others are seeing several trends in the landscape designs, we are producing currently. This is what we believe the future may hold for landscape designs.
- Less effort, larger reward: As we become a ‘time-poor’ (or perhaps better stated, ‘time conscious’) workforce, we are seeing trends towards gardens that contain less traditional planting. The planting which we are completing now definitely follows this trend – the trend is for colour and low maintenance planting.
- Natural tones: We are finding that clients are leaning towards natural colours – greys, browns and greens in their garden. This can be added across all materials – including fencing, decking and paving. This natural aesthetic creates a calm, natural feeling atmosphere, which may help people relax.
- Long-lasting: Composite fencing and decking is proving more popular than ever – this decking combination mixes wood with plastic to create a material that is long lasting and is less likely to stain or splinter. We are finding that our clients are wanting materials that will last.
Contemporary: While many of our clients do prefer a traditional aesthetic, landscape designs are leaning more and more towards a contemporary feel. This may include curved edges, rather than straight lines, contemporary and bespoke lighting or wooden feature areas. This aesthetic can tie in with creating a low maintenance, natural feeling garden.
