Staying current with evolving landscape trends is vital to delivering spaces that feel fresh, functional, and inspiring. Lark Landscape follows trends embraced by the best landscape designers near you, combining innovation with timeless principles. Popular trends include outdoor living rooms equipped with fire features and modular sofas, native plant gardens supporting biodiversity, and modern hardscape materials like large-format pavers and corten steel accents.
Designs increasingly focus on sustainability, integrating rainwater capture, solar lighting, and edible landscapes for food production. Mixed-use landscapes, blending recreation, relaxation, and work-from-home spaces such as garden offices or meditation zones, are growing in demand. Textural contrasts between smooth concrete and natural wood, and layering of plant materials to create year-round interest, are common design hallmarks. Visit our landscape design page to explore how these trends have been successfully incorporated in recent projects.
