Do you want to turn your unused outdoor space into an enjoyable extension of their indoor living areas? Consult our Surrey landscapers for ideas on how to design your own backyard. Here are some of the outdoor living trends that we can help you build.
Water-wise landscapes
Although Surrey is known for its rainy seasons, summer dry spells have become increasingly common. That’s why it can be wise to choose landscapes that require less water while remaining healthy and attractive throughout the year.
To help manage water use, landscapers are incorporating smart irrigation controllers and rainwater collection systems. You can also ask Surrey landscapers to recommend drought-tolerant plants for your outdoor space, such as Lavender and ornamental grasses. With these plants, you won’t have to worry about using too much water in the warmer, drier months.
Climate-adaptive plants
When you work with professional landscapers, you can also incorporate plants that naturally thrive in the Pacific Northwest climate. These plants can make your landscape more resilient against Surrey’s wet winters and dry summers while providing year-round beauty. Plus, they support local wildlife and contribute to a healthier ecosystem. These include:
- Sword Fern
- Salal
- Oregon Grape
- Pacific Bleeding Heart
With these plants, you can also reduce watering needs and create a landscape that stays healthy with less intervention.
Multifunctional outdoor living areas
Surrey landscapers recognize that homeowners want outdoor spaces that can support various activities and lifestyles. With their help, you can design a landscape that naturally incorporates features like:
- Fire pits
- Outdoor seating areas
- Outdoor kitchens
- Covered lounges
- Yoga and wellness spaces
These additions can be designed to extend your living space beyond the walls of your home while maintaining a cohesive design.
Sustainable hardscape solutions
With Surrey receiving significant rainfall each year, proper drainage remains an important part of your landscape design.
Surrey landscapers can help you create an outdoor space with sustainable hardscape materials that help manage water more effectively while supporting environmental goals. You can choose materials like permeable pavers or natural stone pathways that help reduce runoff and improve drainage in your outdoor spaces. At the same time, they protect soil health while keeping your landscape resilient.
