Modern landscaping style is marked by dramatic contrast, geometric shapes and symmetric design. Originally, modern landscaping was created as a juxtaposition to traditional landscapes that evoked the urge to garden and maintain. A modern landscape was designed for relaxing and enjoying nature, without the nagging need to take care of the landscape.
Modern landscaping has grown to be the staple for outdoor living design, which seamlessly blends the indoor and outdoor spaces with emphasis on entertaining and gathering. Today, modern landscapes have
outdoor kitchens with dining areas,
fire and
water features, and shade structures. Paired with modern style homes that feature floor to ceiling windows, indoor/outdoor transitions, and areas for entertaining, a modern landscape design embodies luxury and elegance.
Modern landscapes also feature sustainable landscape design with permeable surfaces, rainwater collection, solar and wind power, and easy composting.
