4 beautiful landscaping trends

If you are thinking about updating your garden, you may be at a bit of a loss regarding how to go about it.

With that being said, read on to discover more about four trends that are in fashion at the moment…

Black Wooden Fencing

Wood is a material that has always been loved in the world of landscaping and always will be. One of the main reasons why this is the case is because it is extremely versatile. You can create an array of different structures and you can manipulate the appearance through the use of paints, stains and alike. This is exactly what you see here with the trend for black wooden fencing. The great thing about this trend is it blurs the lines between traditional and contemporary. You have the rustic quality of the wood yet you have the modern boldness of the black. It’s the ideal blend. It also offers the perfect backdrop for flowers and alike because it can really bring their natural colours to the fore.

Outdoor living

The demand for decking and garden pathways seems to grow year on year as outdoor living becomes more prominent. A mere table and chairs plonked outside is no longer enough. Home owners want the patio space of their garden to be just as comfortable and appealing as the rooms inside their home are. Therefore, they go for the full works! A beautifully constructed decking area is completed with the right lighting and a carefully designed pathway that leads to the area of fun and relaxation. Flower beds are a popular way of making the patio area look more appealing. If you want to go all out you could opt for a stunning water feature. You also need to make sure the rest of your garden is pristine. No one wants to sit with a cocktail in their hand, looking out at an unruly garden. Create yourself a maintenance schedule so you can keep on top of the garden. There are tools like robotic lawn mowers that will make your life much easier. Let the lawn mower do all of the work for you while you tackle weeds, plant care, and such like. You can then sit back and enjoy your hard work.

Vegetable Gardens

This year there has been an evident surge in the number of people who are developing their own vegetable patches. In terms of design, there is something very traditional, rustic and British about planting your own fruit and vegetables. It adds a wealth of character to the outdoor space. Nevertheless, one of the reasons why this trend has emerged is undoubtedly because of the rising living costs. It seems that grocery prices are increasing by the day. Therefore, many homeowners have opted to take matters into their own hands and save costs by growing their vegetables.

Splashes of Colour

This is something we have seen run riot all over the world of design. From the runway to inside the home; splashes of colour are becoming extremely popular. It is no different when it comes to the garden either. Vibrancy is the name of the game when emulating this trend. From blue, to pink, to yellow, to purple, to lime green; go for whatever colour appeals to your personality the most. Of course you will need to consider the other elements in your garden as well. If you are looking for the easiest way to incorporate a splash of colour begin by painting your fence. This always works a treat.
