New Trends in Landscape Design in Northeast Ohio

The term landscaping often conjures up images of endless grass and trees, but there is so much more that can be done under the landscaping umbrella. Landscaping trends in Northeast Ohio do evolve over time. So, what is in style now?

Creating an Outdoor Living Space

Your yard doesn’t have to be a sea of grass and trees. There’s an increasingly growing trend to bring more living space to the outdoors with larger patios, elegant walkways, stone fire pits and even outdoor kitchens. These features are called “hardscaping” and can add a tremendous amount of enjoyment to your life.

Your outdoor space certainly doesn’t have to include a kitchen, but it can still be very functional.
Expanding patio space and adding attractive walkways can increase the value of your home. It can also bring you enjoyment by making your outdoor space great for entertaining, dining or just relaxing by the garden.

Enjoying a Small Garden

Smaller gardens are becoming more of a trend as yards are becoming smaller in newer home developments. With more homes being built and less space to build them on, developers often sacrifice yard space for more home space.

Fortunately, smaller gardens offer several benefits to homeowners. For one thing, you must be creative with space when you have a smaller garden, which can be challenging, but also fun for the creative gardener. There is also the obvious benefit of having less to maintain.

If you desire to have a flower or vegetable garden, but are short on yard space, then you can still have a wonderful garden. It just takes a bit more creativity to design the best garden for you.

Elegant Water Features

Water features are a continuing popular trend in landscape design. Water adds a natural element that is aesthetically pleasing and can provide relaxing sound to your outdoor space.

Waterfalls, ornate water gardens and small wildlife ponds come in endless options for both large and small yards. There are many things to consider when planning a water feature in your yard, so be sure and consult with our landscaping experts to help you decide which is the best option for you.

These are just a few landscaping trends to help you get the creative juices flowing. Landscaping design comes with many options. The right options are the ones that are best for you!
