Landscaping Trends for the Spring Months
Spring arrives March 19 bringing with it more sunshine and warmer temperatures. Now is the perfect time to make your plans about how to turn your yard into a beautiful outdoor paradise!
Make your landscaping stand out before you list your home! Our real estate agents compiled these landscaping tips and trends to help spruce up your Augusta homes for sale.
- Plants and Gardening
Trees, plants, and shrubs are essential in landscaping. However, the trend is leaning towards minimizing time spent gardening and maximizing living. One of the best spring landscaping ideas for your yard is planting a tree. Consider trees with low maintenance needs and don't take a lot of space and effort. The trick is to choose a tree that adds color, shape, and texture to your outdoor space. - Emphasis on Texture
A desire to build low maintenance outdoor spaces is on the rise over recent years. This spring, homeowners will be moving away from sleek, shiny surfaces in their gardens. Landscaping trends are leaning towards more traditional, textured flooring options in the yard. You can use pine cones to introduce a complex texture for a truly unique, textured lawn. - Eye-Catching Color
Don't shy away from brilliant colors when landscaping your yard this spring season. Incorporating eye-catching colors is one of the best ways to instantly refresh your yard. Typically, mulch is one of the most effective ways to add both color and texture to your yard. Red, black, gold, or cedar-toned colors provide a wide range of options to choose from for your landscaping. - Still Going Pink in 2020
Pink is still going strong in 2020. Use pale shades of pink to create a calming atmosphere in your yard. Pink is now considered the new neutral by gardeners. It was a hit for landscapers in 2019, and the trend has stuck! - Define Your Space with Pergolas
Pergolas are still a great way to improve your yard in 2020. This spring, add a dose of charm and create warmth and atmosphere in your yard with pergolas. There are many types of pergolas to choose from. Luxury designs come with drop-down windows, fans, space heaters, and sound systems. You can combine pergolas with an outdoor kitchen and gathering area and uniquely define your space. - Multifunctional Spaces & Furniture
Incorporate multifunctional spaces and features in your landscaping design this spring. Some hot trends to consider include sectional outdoor furniture items that can be arranged for a variety of seating as well as garden walls that can function as dividers and hanging edible gardens at the same time. Not only are these pieces functional, but they are also eyecatching!
