2017 Curb Appeal Trends

With the 2017 landscaping season beginning, we wanted to share some of the curb appeal trends we have noticed so far in 2017. 

Add Color

This may seem like an obvious trend but clients have been asking for more than just greenery. Trees and hedges create a beautiful yard but adding color takes your yard to the next level. Spending just a little more to add some color to your yard will make your landscaping the hit of the neighborhood. We aren’t just talking about flowers, bulbs, shrubs, borders, fencing and mulch all give your yard that extra pop you desire.

Go Modern

More so than any other year, we have noticed that our customers desire a more modern design for their yards. Taking a more minimalist approach to both hardscapes and landscapes can give your yard that clean and modern look that you see in almost every home and garden magazine. Our designers are enjoying this new take on landscaping in the Omaha region and are looking forward to creating beautiful, modern landscapes that increase the curb appeal of your home. 

Stone Veneer…It’s Seriously All the Rage

One of the hottest trends in landscaping this year is stone veneer. Creating hardscapes out of this material may be an option for those who desire a more craftsman and rugged design. With a cheaper price tag and easy installation methods, stone veneer is a simple way to upgrade your yard. The greatest part…its nearly indistinguishable from full stonework.

Ditch the Lawn

With such cold winters and hot summers, maintaining a lawn in Omaha is almost next to impossible. As people desire a green yard all year, lawn-like alternatives have become increasingly more popular. By adding turf to your yard you can decrease maintenance costs and aid in decreasing the environmental impact of fertilizing, pest-control treatments and other chemical maintenance methods. While we do not think that traditional lawns are going anywhere anytime soon, being open to the idea of a lawn-like alternative may give you the yard you have always dreamed of.
