You\u2019ll see a variety of beautiful plants and landscape design.<\/p>    <p>Yes, despite the quick-changing temperatures, humidity, and ongoing challenges of heat and heavy rain, Houston residents have found ways to keep their yards pristine \u2014 no matter what mother nature brings.<\/p>    <p>So what\u2019s popular right now the yards of H-Town homeowners? Here are seven hot Houston landscaping trends.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Vibrant and colorful flowers<\/h3>    <p>Houston homes are known for their beautiful landscaping and flowers. The year 2020 marks 85 years of the city\u2019s annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riveroaksgc.org\/fifth-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">Azalea Trail<\/span><\/a>. While the beautiful pink and white azaleas are a staple in Houston, a landscaping trend to watch for this year in flowers is blue.<\/p>    <p>Pantone has released its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pantone.com\/color-intelligence\/color-of-the-year\/color-of-the-year-2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">annual color of the year for 2020:<\/span><\/a> classic blue. So expect to see the color spring up all over Houston in things like the blue butterfly bush, plumbagoes, and agapanthus.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Eco-friendly landscaping<\/h3>    <p>In summer, commercial and residential landscaping can consume half of Houston&#8217;s municipal water supply. That\u2019s why sustainable landscape designs will continue to be a big trend this upcoming year. But, Houstonians are taking it to a new level with &#8220;regenerative landscaping.&#8221; That term refers to landscaping that restores the environment and encourages long-term sustainability.<\/p>    <p>As Shawn Michael of <a href=\"http:\/\/ravenscourt.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">Ravenscourt Landscaping &amp; Design LLC<\/span><\/a> explains, \u201c&#8217;Sustainable&#8217; leads one to think about what has to be done to continue survival. &#8216;Regenerative&#8217; reframes the stage. We want better: cleaner water, cleaner soil, cleaner air,\u201d he says. \u201cMore and more clients are interested in sustainable, conscientious, options for their spaces.\u201d<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Front Yard Landscaping Trends<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Layered Flower Beds<\/h3>    <p>When Houstonians think flower beds, they think layers.<\/p>    <p>Layering your front yard flower beds with a mix of short and tall shrubs and flowers is a popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/houston-tx-landscaping\/\"><span class=\"s1\">Houston landscaping<\/span><\/a> trend. Homeowners should remember to keep their area\u2019s microclimate in mind.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span>Account for sun, shade, drainage, and the type of soil in the yard when choosing plants.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Landscaping Lighting<\/h3>    <p>Landscape lighting is a very hot Houston trend these days. It\u2019s elegant and easy to maintain in all types of weather. And \u2014 unlike plants \u2014 lighting doesn&#8217;t care about soil, humidity levels, or temperatures. You can use electric, solar, or even gas-powered lighting to illuminate your front yard at night. But keep in mind that the energy-efficient option of solar lighting works best in areas that get plenty of sun during the day.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Popular Landscaping Trends for the Backyard<\/h2>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Two-in-One Landscaping<\/h3>    <p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.landscapeprofessionals.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">National Association of Landscaping Professionals,<\/span><\/a> this is a very hot trend. Multifunctional landscape design provides homeowners backyard beauty without so much hassle. Some popular two-in-one landscaping ideas include vertical, edible gardens that also serve as a privacy fence, or colorful garden beds that help divide different sections of the backyard.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Lawn and Landscape Automation<\/h3>    <p>Who says that a smart home technology needs to stay indoors? Not Houston homeowners, that is for sure. Lawn and landscape automation is a hot trend right now. From robotic lawnmowers to high-tech lighting, electrical systems, and irrigation, homeowners are incorporating these advancements into their backyard space. Houstonians want to spend more time enjoying, rather than working on, their yards.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Decorative Art<\/h3>    <p>Houston has a vibrant art scene and is home to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visithoustontexas.com\/about-houston\/neighborhoods\/museum-district\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">one of the nation\u2019s largest art museums<\/span><\/a>. So it\u2019s no surprise that a popular trend here is to incorporate art into a backyard design. From wrought iron furniture to water features and bold and whimsical metal artwork, this is a hot trend for Houston backyards.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Your Research First<\/h2>    <p>Yes, these are the popular Houston landscaping trends, but that doesn\u2019t mean that they will all work in your yard. Do your research or talk to a professional first to make sure it\u2019s a good fit. For example, you may not want to plant beautiful blue agapanthus in your front yard if there\u2019s no shade \u2014 even if they are trendy right now.<\/p>    <p>And if you are interested in regenerative gardening, Michael at Ravenscourt Landscaping suggests you talk to friends who already do what you want to try.<\/p>    <p>\u201cBackyard chicken farming for example,\u201d he says, \u201cmay sound like a great way to have fresh eggs. But if one does not appreciate the work that comes with the reward they risk burning out on everything backyard\/green\/nature.\u201d<\/p>    <p>He also recommends visiting locally owned garden shops such as <a href=\"https:\/\/buchanansplants.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">Buchanan\u2019s Native Plants<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joshuasnativeplants.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"s1\">Joshua\u2019s Native Plants<\/span><\/a> and warns that \u201corganic does not mean nontoxic.\u201d<\/p>    <p>If you&#8217;d like to get some help with your next landscaping project, reach out to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/houston-tx-landscaping\">local Houston landscaping pro<\/a> for expert insight and guidance.
