Trends of landscape design season 2019
Homeowners across Ukraine want their gardens and yards to look beautiful and well-kept. Even though winter usually doesn’t involve any landscaping work, it’s never too early to start planning your garden for the upcoming season or get a professional consultation with a landscaper. For those looking to update their lot with modern garden design ideas, 2019 has brought a host of hot trends that you can use in your backyard.
ADAPTABILITY FOR EVERY SEASON
We are lucky in Kherson, in our climate, because we get four different seasons every year. This also means that a huge variety of plants can grow on our territory at different times of the year. Take advantage of this by creating a garden that will look beautiful all year round.
How to do it: You have plants in your garden that grow well at different times of the year. Planting bulbs that will begin to sprout in early spring will tidy up your garden when the soil begins to warm. Adding evergreens and shrubs will ensure that your yard has plenty of green in the winter, and a tree that displays fall colors will add pops of yellow and red to your yard in the fall. Finally, planting decorative flower pots throughout your yard makes it easy to change up the plants, reflecting seasonal colors and hues.
Create focal points
Accenting itself is not a new idea when it comes to landscaping and landscaping. However, the current trend is to create creative and unique items to showcase a certain area of your yard. The more creativity you apply, the more effective the garden will be.
Howto: we often choose beautiful trees or fountains as the centerpiece of the garden, but we encourage you to think outside the box! Update your shed with fresh paint and potted plants or shrubs. Surround a comfortable hammock or bench swing with colorful flowers and decorative boulders. Even a children’s playground or a dog house for your beloved pet can become a main feature without much effort. Take the comfort of your yard to the next level by installing designer lights to illuminate the centerpiece of the yard.
AUTOMONITY
When we talk about autonomy, we mean adding elements that can contribute to the health and longevity of your garden without direct intervention. Not only does this help with the workload of tending to the garden, but it can also save some costs. Sustainable elements can also offer various benefits to our local ecosystem.
How to do it: Think about how to make your yard as environmentally friendly as possible! Choose landscaping that promotes healthy water flow or install an irrigation system. Plant bright flowers to attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Install decorative birdhouses or bird feeders to attract wildlife to visit your garden. Consider building structures to house compost, firewood, or other yard waste that can be reused in your garden.
Minimalism
You don’t have to be a professional gardener to have a visually pleasing yard. With a little planning, you can create beautiful garden accents around your home that enhance the elegance of your home and are easy to maintain. In 2019, it’s not uncommon to see a “less is more” approach to landscape design, even in premium private homes.
How to do it: There are many plants in our area that require minimal care and will thrive in our climate. For a garden that does not require constant planting from year to year, we suggest filling the garden with a variety of perennial plants. Other good options are large leafy plants such as coleus, plantain lily and ficus, which take up a lot of space and therefore eliminate the need for additional filler plants in your garden. Create an automatic sprinkler system to save time watering your plants. Finally, don’t be afraid to add inanimate elements to your garden that don’t require much attention, such as decorative boulders, gazebos and patios.
With a little inspiration from these garden landscape design trends 2019, this could be the year you make your home and garden the calm and relaxing space you want them to be.
