As landscape designers passionate about blending beauty with sustainability, we’re excited to share the 2025 garden trends that are transforming outdoor spaces into places of purpose. This year, it’s all about thoughtful design that serves both people and the planet—from eco-friendly practices to edible plantings and resilient materials.
Whether you’re dreaming of a lush backyard retreat or looking to make your landscape more functional and low-maintenance, these trends are designed to inspire. And if any of these speak to you, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 678-909-3765 to start designing your own space rooted in the future.
Regenerative Gardening: Giving Back to the Earth
One of the biggest shifts we’ve seen this year is a growing interest in regenerative gardening. This goes beyond traditional landscaping—it’s about healing the soil, supporting pollinators, and building long-term ecological health.
We’re incorporating practices like composting, no-till soil preparation, and cover cropping into our designs to improve soil structure and enhance biodiversity. These techniques reduce water runoff, enrich plant life, and ultimately make gardens more self-sustaining.
It’s not just gardening—it’s giving back to nature with every plant, bed, and border.
Edible Landscaping Ideas: Blending Beauty with Function
The rise of edible landscaping ideas has made gardens more useful and interactive than ever. Clients are asking for more than just pretty blooms—they want herbs by the kitchen door, fruit trees in the backyard, and vegetables tucked into ornamental beds.
This style of planting, sometimes called “foodscaping,” mixes traditional landscape design with delicious, edible plants. It’s a fantastic way to make your space more multifunctional while encouraging healthier living and deeper connections with the land.
We love designing spaces that look incredible and feed your family, too.
Designing Multifunctional Outdoor Spaces
As lifestyles shift toward outdoor living, we’re creating multifunctional outdoor spaces that serve as extensions of the home. Today’s gardens do more—they’re spaces for gathering, cooking, relaxing, even meditating.
Think of garden nooks that double as reading retreats, patios that host dinner parties and yoga sessions, or borders planted with both flowers and food. We design with intention, blending form and function so that every corner of your landscape works hard for you.
Native Plants in Georgia: Local, Low-Maintenance Beauty
When it comes to choosing the right plants, nothing beats what already thrives here. We’re embracing native plants in Georgia to build low-maintenance landscapes that are naturally adapted to our local climate and soil.
Native plant palettes help conserve water, reduce the need for chemical treatments, and support essential wildlife like butterflies, birds, and bees. From purple coneflower to switchgrass, these selections are not only beautiful but incredibly resilient.
They’re a smart and sustainable choice for anyone who wants a landscape that flourishes year after year.
Sustainable Hardscaping Materials That Last
Hardscape elements are the backbone of many outdoor spaces, and this year we’re seeing a major shift toward sustainable hardscaping materials that balance durability with environmental responsibility.
We’re using permeable pavers, reclaimed brick, and low-carbon concrete to create patios, walkways, and retaining walls that are built to last. These materials reduce runoff, support drainage, and age beautifully—making them ideal for high-traffic areas and dynamic landscapes.
Plus, they offer a timeless aesthetic that elevates the entire property.
Climate-Conscious Landscape Design
As weather patterns continue to change, climate-conscious landscape design is more important than ever. We’re helping clients prepare for extremes by incorporating features like rain gardens, drought-tolerant plantings, and efficient irrigation systems.
We also consider sun and shade patterns, wind exposure, and long-term climate data when designing each space. The result? Landscapes that are beautiful, resilient, and responsive to the world around us.
It’s not just good design—it’s responsible design.
