2008 saw a revolution in the world of landscaping. We saw great, new, more ecologically friendly ways to landscape, as well as new ways to convert your outdoor space into outdoor living space. The trends in landscaping are continuing to evolve throughout the year and we are bound to see more innovative landscaping in the future. Here are some of the most prevalent trends in landscaping that we saw. For more great landscaping ideas, see a Lancaster landscaping company near you.
Environmentally Friendly: More and more homeowners are choosing to implement elements in their landscaping. This included plants and other flora that don't need as much water as a traditional garden, as well as plants that can sustain insect life, therefore removing the reason for pesticides in gardens. These choices have helped us all breathe a little easier.

Water Features: Homeowners really saw the need for calming water features this year, and it didn't mean they had to be an elaborate full sized fountain. We saw many smaller water features that added to the landscaping without being overbearing, like small fountains or wall hangings. Even ponds have been scaled back and redesigned to fit the newer, smaller styles.
Low Maintenance: Homeowners have been choosing landscape elements that don't involve as much work and care, so they can spend time loving them instead of working on them, even hiring Lancaster landscaping companies to care for their gardens so that they can sit back and enjoy them. We've seen a lot of products geared towards those who want the perfect landscaping without all of the fuss.
