2021 Hottest Landscaping Trends

Summer weather is almost here, and landscaping can really add value to your home by making your yard look beautiful. Here are some of this year’s hottest trends, according to Matt Barton, President of Coppercreek Landscaping.

Which will you choose to add to your home?

Outdoor Living Spaces
More and more people want to get together after a lockdown year and are really investing in their patios and decks. Covered patios and decks with outdoor heating and firepits are on the top of people’s list. Also, ways to entertain guests such as TVs, outdoor speakers, and tech to get the party going.

Xeriscaping
This is the practice of landscaping with minimal water use. Spokane is already looking at how much water citizens use to care for their lawn, with guidelines and possible restrictions coming. Buyers are way ahead of the City with xeriscaping and creating drought resistant gardening. This way when they are gardening it is done sustainably, and they are making some awesome homemade dishes with fresh-from-the-garden ingredients.

Pools
Who doesn’t love a pool party? Not many. Pools are on fire with more people staying at home and skipping the crowded public pools. Most buyers are trying to imagine drinking margaritas in Mexico while they lay by a pool in the comfort of their own backyard. “People want to have that mini resort in their backyard,” Barton said.
