Although we often hear more about outdated interior design trends, the exterior is the extraction of your home and IM immune. You would surprise how well an experienced landscape could guess the exact age of the garden bed.

That is why we decided to turn into three experienced landscapes to find out which obsolete landscape trends, we should all be issued this year, and they did not stay.

While updating your landscape design can have an additional effort to this spring, the good news is that most of these trends are actually high maintenance from timeless alternatives.

Founding shrub plus the appearance of the attitude statements

Copy and paste landscape appearance is no longer, according to Katie Tony, who works in the arrangement for Monrovia. In fact, there is one common look that feels especially in her eyes, and it is tired of seeing him.

“The trend of exposing the same three thorough shrubs in the line in front of the house and adding a tree statement in the corner of the yard has become a tired formula that became very popular decades ago,” she says. “We still see this with a new building, but the owners want more than the cookie cutter.”

If your yard is a victim of this lazy ultimate design, you don’t have to start from scratch. Taimony suggests adding interest in planting several different floral shrubs, decorative grasses and a really unique evergreen evergreen for cleaning your yard in the neighborhood.

Traditional lawns

You know the traditional lawn when you see it. It is full of one type of grass (usually kentucky bluckgrass) and deprived of any varieties in the texture. You would be hard to find anything gender, like children’s, wild violets or dandelions.

The landscape designer Samantha Urasy says that traditional lawns are on the way, despite the crowds that had a decade on suburban real estate.

“The lawns could be iconic, but they quickly become impractical,” she says. “In our region, they require daily watering, regular mowing and chemical entries only to stay alive through summer. They slightly add to the garden environmentally friendly and honestly, they are expensive and non-inspiring and non-inspiring and non-inspiring.”

Urasy transferred his designs to the features of state lawns, which remain green with far less water and rarely need to be mowing. In addition, they support your friendly neighborhoods.

Red Mulch

The days of bright red colored mulched are Dwindling, according to the landscape design Aleksandar Betz.

Betz says Red Mulch gained the greatest popularity at the end of the 90s, but she began to go out of style around 2014. year when the designers and homeowners began to want to be organic, dark brown and black mulch.

“The bold color was attractive, providing a slect contrast greenery, making the landscapes look ‘done’,” he says. “But the artificial reputation of color conflicts with a more natural aesthetics for which people go.”

Not only is it a red mulch from style, but Betz says it can be harmful to your arrangement, because it often contains recycled wood with chemicals that can harm the soil health.

Perfect perfect sodince only

There is no claim that the gender trend of the plant is alive and well, and we hope that it will never be overwhelmed from completely style, thanks to the numerous advantages for our local ecosystems. But if this trend has to remain power, Tubanini says he has to be a balance.

“Strict planting are just tender plants a recent trend that can be short-lived,” she says. “It is too loud access to a suitable climate. It is as if gardens learn more about the benefits of different types of shrubs and perennials, gravitate towards planting the variety of real plants for their yard and other pollinators in the garden.”

It suggests the interference with cultivares to create a landscape that is easy to maintain, but more comfortable for an eye for longer season.

Using rocks as mulch

You may love a decorative rock mulch, but your plants probably don’t want. That is why the end designers like Urasy are happy to be on the way.

In fact, she calls it one of the worst choice for plant health in hot and dry climates, because the rocks reinforce heat and radiate back into herbal roots. This can alleviate the growth of the plant and potentially completely burn the roots.

And if you’re still tempting for landscape with gravel, because you think lower maintenance from Mulch, Urasy says it’s actually a myth.

“Weeds will continue to grow in it, and the removal is significantly heavier than in the bark of Mulches,” she says. “Add that the fact that rocks can cost three times as much, and it becomes clear that this trend does not work your garden – or your wallet – any favorites.”

Instead, it recommends 3-4 inches finely rated bark of mulchers. Will keep moisture while insulating the roots of your plants. In addition, it naturally suppresses weeds and enriches the ground as it breaks down.

Symmetric landscaping beds

The perfect symmetrical gardens you see in European estates seem great for one main reason: they usually have a few garden gardeners who work overtime to make everything cropped.

According to Betz, trying to repeat this look in his home feels a little 90’s. The householders have tried this approach and since then they have realized that too high maintenance, which has made up of asymmetrical, naturalistic landscapes that are more environmentally friendly and support biodiversity.

“Modern landscaping is conducive to more relaxed, natural access,” he says. “Embrace asymmetry with the external domestic plants, curved roads and organic layouts to create a softer, a more dynamic landscape that blends with nature.”
