Looking to improve your yard this summer? While you’ll always have traditional landscaping options to fall back on, switching up your outdoor space is your chance to bring your yard very much into the present — and make sure that it’s one for the future, too. 

Need some inspiration? We’ve got you covered. In this post, we’ll give you three top landscaping trends to incorporate into your own designs this summer. 

Immersive Gardens

Traditional landscaping typically involved clearing out the natural flora and replacing it with exotic, beautified options from around the world. Immersive gardens turn this concept on its head.

Rather than fighting the local species found outside your backdoor, you embrace it.hile an appraisal helps you understand a home’s value, inspections help you understand a home’s condition.

Use natural materials and plants found in your local area, and create your own curated wild yard. 

Planet Friendly Landscaping

Low-carbon options are all the rage right now, and rightly so. Push your home’s eco-credentials in the right direction by taking the low-carbon landscaping approach.

There are multiple ways to do this, but what it essentially boils down to is planting plants and trees that are native to your local area.

You can take things further — and give yourself some delicious ingredients to boot — by adding a vegetable garden. 

Outdoor Entertaining

We could all do with spending more time outdoors. Make your yard a bonafide outdoor entertaining powerhouse by adding a high-quality patio and outdoor kitchen (a grill with storage and food preparation space). Bonus points if you build it deep into your yard for an extra touch of magic.

Get started with these ideas today, and you’ll have a prime outdoor space ready for the warm summer months.
