Gardening for Local Wildlife
“Fires, development, and grazing have taken a toll on wild animal habitats. Designing our gardens with wildlife in mind means considering sources of nectar, seeds, shelter, and water,” explains Forbes. As we spend more time in our gardens and patios, designing the landscape for wildlife has its benefits. As a result, landscape trends have seen a lot of outside influence from different materials. “A big trend we’re seeing is metal being added to landscape – whether that’s in shade structures, artistic panels, water features, planter boxes, and more,” shares Ryan Trudell, a Landscape Architecture. This ties nicely with the return of the pergola and patio structures to connect the outdoors with the indoors.
Recycled and Reclaimed Materials
Environmentally-conscious homeowners notice one thing that cannot be avoided: potable water is increasingly precious. So embracing the beauty of native and drought-tolerant plant choices that can thrive in our gardens with minimal care and irrigation is a trend. Likewise, landscaping trends will revolve around eco-conscious materials and designs. “From wall gardens made of reclaimed wood to lawn edging using repurposed bricks, recycled materials are being used to reimagine landscape design. When repurposing materials, your imagination is limited; you can mix and match different materials or incorporate unused household items for a unique aesthetic.
