Landscape design is an ever-evolving art form and science, and there are some exciting trends in Nevada for both new and existing residential construction.
Hot Trends in Landscape Design
Landscape design in Las Vegas and the surrounding areas is both a science and an art form. Like fashion or home decor, it’s constantly evolving in order to be more functional while exciting our modern senses. Some of the most intriguing landscape design trends in the region involve outdoor kitchens, smart lawns and even bees.
Making Pollinators a Priority
Bees are an essential component of our ecosystem, yet populations are in decline around the world. A wonderful grassroots effort to change that has caused a focus on pollinators. Homeowners choose flowers and other fauna that attract not only honeybees but butterflies and hummingbirds as well. In addition to flowers, there’s LED lightning and eco-friendly materials that you can integrate into a landscape in order to make it more welcoming to these desired elements.
Adding Contrast With Materials
Contrast is in style in Las Vegas landscape design, and rather than picking a primary material with which to center an entire design, homeowners are mixing and matching to great effect. You can combine brick, all kinds of natural stones, different woods, various metals and more to create truly unique designs.
Smart Lawns
The terms ‘smart lawns’ or “smart grass” refers to cultivars, and it’s all the buzz. Cultivars are grass varieties that have been manipulated to not only withstand the climate of the region but to achieve colors, textures and other aspects that wouldn’t be possible. The significant enhancements in this field offer many exciting possibilities and have made those options much more affordable.
Going Outdoors With Kitchens
Homeowners and homebuyers in this region are increasingly prioritizing outdoor cooking and dining areas. These high-tech outdoor kitchens are a great way to not only enhance outdoor living but motivate us to do it more often. These areas provide amazing opportunities for hosting guests and can be outfitted with all kinds of modern amenities, including Wi-Fi hot spots, TVs, and refrigerator access.
