It’s a new year, and with every new year comes new design trends—including in landscaping.
The National Association of Landscape Professionals <a href="https://www.loveyourlandscape.org/media/press-releases/top-5-landscape-trends-of-2020-ornate-hardscaping-contemporary-design-one-click-irrigation-and-more/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">recently released their picks for the top landscaping trends of 2020</a>. Some of the biggest trends poised to take over lawns across the US this year include:
<ul>
<li>Multi-season landscape design. As homeowners become more cost and environmentally conscious in 2020, expect to see more versatile choices in landscape design—including choosing plants and other elements with multi-season functionality and the ability to thrive in a variety of temperatures and climates.</li>
<li>All things blue. With different shades of blue being chosen as the color of the year by a variety of design outlets (including <a href="https://www.pantone.com/color-intelligence/color-of-the-year/color-of-the-year-2020" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Pantone</a> and <a href="https://www.sherwin-williams.com/architects-specifiers-designers/inspiration/color-forecast/2020-color-forecast/2020-color-of-the-year-naval" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Sherwin-Williams</a>), the hue is going to be everywhere in 2020—including in landscape design. Expect to see pops of blue (think sculptures and water features) to show up in on-trend outdoor spaces in the upcoming year.</li>
<li>One-click irrigation systems. Properly irrigating your lawn used to be an expensive, time-consuming process. But thanks to new technology and more high-tech irrigation systems, in 2020, homeowners have the ability to control their irrigation system remotely, delivering the perfect amount of water at the perfect time with the click of a smartphone app—saving time, money, and water in the process.</li>
</ul>
