2019 Backyard Landscaping Trends For Las Vegas Homeowners

As thoughts turn away from outdoor parties, this is the perfect time to think about your backyard landscaping before spring arrives. Getting ahead start on your planning means that you can order the right supplies and work with your landscaping team to implement them when the time is right. Here are some hot backyard landscaping trends to consider.

Water Features

Many homeowners are now incorporating a water feature into their backyard landscaping as they love to listen to the tranquil sound that the water makes. You may want to consider revamping a grass-covered area into a water feature complete with koi fish, build a resort-style swimming pool or construct a sunken garden with a large fountain in the middle.

Growing Walls

Growing walls are a great way to block your neighbor’s view while enhancing your own. Quick growing shrubs that make great walls include antelope bottle bush, desert ceanothus and evergreen sumac may make good choices that stay green throughout the year. Additionally, these three choices have non-invasive roots that will not damage existing structures.

Eco-Garden Designs

One of the best ways to cope with the lack of rainfall in Las Vegas is to implement eco-garden designs that take advantage of plants growing naturally in the Las Vegas area. You may even want to remove some of the turf and opt for a lovely rock garden instead. While recent trends have been towards symmetrical designs and monochromatic flower beds, the hottest trend is to combine different geometrical features to make beautiful flower beds while incorporating lots of color.

Take advantage of the winter months to plan your Las Vegas backyard landscaping for the coming year. The results will be beautiful as you will have plenty of time to implement your ideas without rushing. You may even choose to take advantage of warmer winter days to get started now.
