Regardless of the size or location of your outdoor space, you want it to look and feel great. While we often think of the interior of our living space to be the most important, at Mountview Landscaping, we think outdoors spaces deserve the same amount of care and attention.
Your yard is the perfect place to start if you want to enhance the beauty and character of your home, and we’re here to help bring your outdoor dreams to life!
Check out our top landscaping trends of 2022 below.
Bring the Indoors Outdoors
Why limit the feeling of “home” to inside? Surround your outdoor patio in beautiful shrubs or foliage to create that enclosed
feeling while still enjoying the fresh air. As an added bonus, the natural plants give you a bit of privacy without adding any fences or screens to your space. To give it that extra “homey feel”, consider adding some outdoor furniture statement pieces to turn your patio into an outdoor living room!
Add some Drama with Dark Foliage
Bright plants and flowers look great on their own but pairing them with darker foliage can
really make them stand out! Consider adding in some Crape Myrtle, Ninebark, or even Sweet Potato Vine to give you your outdoor space some WOW.
Edible Gardens
The top trend of 2021 is simplicity – in every aspect of our lives. And if you’re wanting to get healthier this year, this trend is for you.
With an edible garden in your yard, you can 
replace typical grass or turf with fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
Use the empty space in your yard with something substantial that you can apply to your family meals and bonding time as well!
It’s a great way to put healthy, organic food into your meals.
And, Mountview’s landscaping experts can help you incorporate beautiful and aesthetically pleasing designs into your edible garden, so you won’t have to compromise.
Edible gardens are gaining popularity, but they are more than likely going to be a trend for many years to come.
