Spring is just around the corner, and what better time to look ahead to garden trends for 2012. Some of the trends expected nationally, such as more use of drought-tolerant plants and Mediterranean influences, are longtime staples for Southern gardening. Fall and Winter are the optimum time to start thinking about planning your Stone Gardens Landscaping designs so they will be ready by Spring. So what are the trends that will be thriving in the outdoor landscaping world this year? The following is a list of some of the gardening and landscape design elements that we expect to see a lot of this spring and in upcoming years:
DROUGHT TOLERANCE
- Trends start with more wisdom in the use of water.
- Choosing drought-tolerant plants and watering responsibly has been in the forefront of Southern landscapes. Rain sensors and micro-irrigation systems have provided water savings to homeowners in smart landscapes. Responsible irrigation is also a must. By monitoring our irrigation systems, we become good stewards of our precious resource, avoiding the waste associated with watering driveways and sidewalks.
- Many municipalities throughout the country are mandating the use of reclaimed water and rain barrels for use in the landscape and gardens.
MEDITERRANEAN STYLE
- Mediterranean garden styles will continue to be hot in 2012
- This style offers open and airy courtyards; light-colored, textured hardscaping such as mosaic walls, gravel beds or unglazed terracotta pots; and low-growing, drought-tolerant plants, hedges, topiary trees and vines, such as olive, bay and lemon trees, succulents, lavender, palms, roses and grasses. Splashes of vivid color help achieve this style.
COLOR TREND
- Black and amber shades in plants will continue to be a hot trend this year.
LOW RISK, HIGH VALUE
- Low-risk, high-value plants that look good in the garden center and work well in the landscape will always be a trend. Plants bred for disease and pest resistance as well as drought tolerance are the ones to look for.
- This trend dovetails with the principle of selecting the right plant for the right place in the landscape.
SMALLER WATER FEATURES
- Look for a downsizing trend in water features, with less interest in large ponds. Low-maintenance cut-stone slabs, boulders or beautiful glazed urns with water bubbling out of the top are what clients willing be looking for.
- Fountains made with natural stone or metal will be more desirable than features made of man made materials. Ball-shaped stone fountains promise to be big next year.
FRONT YARD GARDENS
- An increase documented over the last few years in front yard gardens is likely to continue in 2012. Garden Trends Research Report's Early Spring 2011 survey showed 29 percent of respondents were interested in front yard gardening, up from 27 percent in 2010 and 25 percent in 2009.
GARDENING GOES VERTICAL
- Vertical gardening and green-roof gardening are both becoming popular.
- Vertical gardening involves growing plants up on trellises, arbors, balconies and walls instead of outward on the ground.
- Green roof gardens, roofs partly or completely covered with vegetation help to save on heating and cooling costs and actually protect the roofing materials underneath from the degrading effects of the elements. Some municipalities require green roofs on some new buildings or provide tax incentives for the installation of green roofs.
- Unique vegetable garden designs that implement various materials such as stone, brick and stucco, with varying sizes and heights. These arrangements will look just as good as your vegetables taste!
- Outdoor fire pits will again be popular this upcoming season as an alternative to traditional fireplaces for creating cozy and comfortable outdoor living spaces that can easily be enjoyed any time of year.
- Although container plants are not a new trend in landscaping, container gardens will be using a more creative combinations of textures, colors and heights and unusual placement within landscaping this year. We specialize in the unique design and execution of projects like these to truly make your outdoor garden one of a kind.
- Personal touches and decor similar to those used in home interiors can enhance the intimacy, comfort and aesthetics of outdoor rooms and patio areas making them perfect for entertaining and everyday unwinding.
