The area becomes a family gathering space or a place where they can enjoy wine by a fire with friends, says Jesse Van Walsen, sales and designer at Landscapes by Terra, Marysville, Ohio.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOther areas they are interested in are pavilion space providing shade and shelter from the outdoor elements while still being outside,\u201d he says. \u201cMore and more, we are seeing televisions installed in pavilion spaces with a comfy living room vibe with all-weather sofas and chairs.\u201d<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One recent new client, for example, knew they wanted a fire pit with seating and a shady covered area, but wanted help to decide whether to install a patio or deck.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s all about creating more usable spaces, Van Walsen says, and along with all the spaces come the plants, trees, shrubs, walkways, lighting, shade, and conveniences.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Process of Landscape Design<\/h2>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-medium wp-image-17261\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/jesse-van-walsen-columbus-landscaping-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Jesse Van Walsen\" class=\"wp-image-17261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/jesse-van-walsen-columbus-landscaping-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/jesse-van-walsen-columbus-landscaping.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jesse Van Walsen<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Van Walsen says a consultation meeting to walk the property and discuss the client\u2019s goals comes first. They share ideas and ask questions regarding budget, time frame for project and site conditions. Then, preliminary budget expectations and design fees required to proceed with the process get discussed.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Landscapes by Terra then does an analysis and inventory of the site. They include detailed measurements, elevation data, and soil samples, if necessary, for proper construction and design, he says.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doing an inventory of existing elements and plant material, and identifying key plants for preservation or possible transplant comes next. Then Van Walsen develops the design by hand drafting or computer-aided design software, and then recommends the appropriate materials and plant selections. &nbsp;Once you decide on materials, budgets and scheduling, construction begins.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trends in Columbus<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Van Walsen lists some of the hottest trends in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/columbus-oh-landscaping\">landscaping in Columbus<\/a>&nbsp;in these categories:<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entertaining areas<\/h3>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-17264\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/entertaining-areas-columbus-landscaping-heather-odenweller.jpg\" alt=\"Entertainment area outdoors\" class=\"wp-image-17264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/entertaining-areas-columbus-landscaping-heather-odenweller.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/entertaining-areas-columbus-landscaping-heather-odenweller-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hardscape and a shaded area expand the entertainment area of this Columbus home.<\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unilock\u2019s EnduraColor Pavers have a refined surface that combines a base of coarser aggregates for a stronger foundation with concentrated color and wear-resistant finer aggregates on top, Van Walsen says. \u201cThis protects the surface from the appearance of fading over time because the top layer prevents large, lighter color aggregates from ever showing through.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These pavers don&#8217;t wear down over time or fade leaving them looking the same as when they were installed,\u201d he says.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shaded areas<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before building a pergola or pavilion covered patio structure, homeowners will need to find what building standards are in place.&nbsp;Columbus has a helpful &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.columbus.gov\/bzs\/Getting-Started\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">getting started<\/a>&#8221; reference page for builders. You may also need to contact your homeowners association, if there is one. \u201cThese are the first places to begin to understand what needs to happen to build an outdoor space. After building standards are understood, the design can happen,\u201d he adds.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The structure&#8217;s placement and alignment determine what type of structure works best. A pergola may work better on a north- or east-facing direction due to the transparency to the open sky. South and west-facing backyards should have a covered structure or pavilion due to the extensive sun exposure.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lighting<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LED lighting seems to continue to trend, Van Walsen adds. \u201cPeople like efficient components on their properties. Outdoor lighting trends continue to push through the use of cellular devices as well as tablets to control outdoor lighting transformers,\u201d Van Walsen explains. LED lights&#8217; microchips can create a spectrum of colors other than just &#8220;white&#8221; and &#8220;warm.&#8221; The new technology allows you to present your outdoor lighting display in any colors.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water features<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Outdoor pools continue to be a trend for outdoor spaces. Concrete decking is traditional. However, the trend continues to be paver alternatives and stone alternatives. They allow for nonslip surfaces to help with safety around the pool. Most of the paver and stone options available include denser qualities and can sustain themselves against chlorine and saltwater.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trees and shrubs<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with perennial flowers, low-maintenance trees and shrubs top the list of what homeowners want in their landscape plans. \u201cWe identify plant palettes that provide clients spring, summer, fall, and winter color at various times throughout each season,\u201d he says.

Chosen carefully so they take turns blooming, they can provide a focal point that shifts throughout the warmer seasons. Colors trending in 2020 are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/style\/article\/pantone-color-classic-blue-2020\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">classics blues<\/a> such as hydrangeas, ajuga, bell flower, and St. John\u2019s wort.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn order to maintain a constant array of flowering pizzazz throughout spring to fall, we suggest changing out focal planters with annual flowers. Think one tall plant and three medium ones.&#8221;<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fill around the outer edge with a vine type hanging plant to create a beautiful planter with varying heights, color and texture, Van Walsen suggests.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Talk to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/columbus-oh-landscaping\">Columbus landscaping expert<\/a>&nbsp;to help you select plants for your growing landscape.
