Did you know over 60% of homebuyers say that a house that has a well-landscaped lawn influences their purchasing decision over a home with so-so landscaping? If you’re looking to add value to your property or improve your home’s curb appeal, look no further. We have curated the biggest landscaping trends we expect to see for landscaping services in Wilmington DE for 2020.
1. Lighting
Landscape lighting sets the mood and tone for the atmosphere you’re trying to create. Beyond the traditional outdoor solar LED lights, this year you’ll see even more of last year’s Moroccan inspired lighting. Bringing together a fantastic marriage of patterns and vibrant colors.
2. Minimalism
Thanks in large part to the continued popularity of the Marie Kondo minimalism movement, we will see less ornamental foilage and decor. There will be a desire for spacious, open areas with paved pathways, functional over fashionable outdoor furniture, and modern outdoor kitchens spaces.
3. Low-Maintenance
Continuing on the minimalism trend, low-maintenance lawns that don’t require a lot of upkeep will be popular. Planting complementary plants and foilage that helps with the upkeep will also be key.
4. Sustainability
There will be renewed enthusiasm for environmental sustainability. People will be inclined to use compost and solar power in commercial and residential landscapes. Importance will be placed on decreasing carbon footprints and making “doing your part to save the environment” easier.
5. Pergolas
Pergolas came onto the scene in early 2019, and their popularity has continued to grow. They add a sense of intimacy to any residential or commercial landscape. There isn’t anything more intimate than soft outdoor lighting surrounding a custom pergola.
6. Bees
More and more people are growing aware of the precarious plight of the honeybees. They’re dying in astonishing numbers due in part to pesticides and lack of available resources. Plants encouraging and helping to support their population are popping up all over the world.
If you need help deciding what flowers or plants to add to your garden to attract the bees, contact landscaping services in Wilmington DE.
7. Color
From bright colored Moroccan-themes to monochromatic color palettes, color trends have never been so wide-ranging. Neutrals will be taking a back seat this year to the more engaging colors.
