At Serene Landscape Consulting, we love to bring our clients’ backyard dreams to life. From transformative hardscaping projects to curating a thriving garden, we are passionate about creating beautiful, thoughtful designs that our clients will enjoy for years to come.
Here are five backyard landscaping trends we love:
- Resort vibes – Creating a resort-style vibe in your own backyard doesn’t require as much as you might think! A few key elements can transform any yard—big or small—into an outdoor oasis. A luxurious pergola with a hanging swing, ambient lighting, and a pool, spa, or water feature goes a long way in turning the dial up on serenity and relaxation.
- Maximizing sloped yards – As landscape architects, we love to see a challenging land gradient utilized well. Using specific vegetation and artfully placed retaining walls can make sloped backyards feel more expansive and turn an otherwise problematic part of the property into a focal point.
- Outdoor hangouts – Hardscaping projects help optimize every square inch of your property by extending living spaces into the outdoors. Whether you opt for an outdoor kitchen, a firepit, a comfy outdoor living room, or all the above, we love this trend that gets people spending just as much time outside as they do indoors.
- Sustainably cool rock gardens – Sustainability is becoming both more accessible and trendier, and we love to see it. Implementing eco-conscious rock designs in backyard landscaping can not only help facilitate drainage challenges but also create a modern aesthetic that is effortlessly chic.
- A backyard as unique as you – The beautiful thing about backyards is that there is no wrong way to design a space you love. The only requirement is that your design be tailored to you and your lifestyle. That’s our goal for every backyard landscaping project we do.
