What does your backyard say about you? It’s time to treat your backyard like an extra room, a special space in your home, real estate where you can gather with family and friends and create special memories. So now we’ve convinced you that it’s time to take a look at your backyard and consider what it could add to your daily life, let’s take a look at some of the backyard trends for 2023!
1. Maximalism
Your backyard is a unique opportunity to extend your style outdoors, with added volume! Outdoor furniture, and other features, like tiling and sculptures on your pool deck, are a chance to add pops of color that may be brighter than you would have inside your home. It’s an opportunity to inject more fun into your living spaces, with special unique accents that tell a story about your family, what you love and what you enjoy. Accessories around your pool and on your pool deck can add whimsy and turn up the volume on your style even more!
2. Xeriscaping
Xeriscaping has been around for a long time, especially in the desert climate of Arizona, and now it’s becoming a nationwide backyard design trend as more and more places experience water shortages. This type of landscaping, with minimal need for irrigation, is a great way to make a positive impact and save water. There are so many options out there to create a beautiful backyard design using xeriscaping, and plants that need less water to survive. You can also incorporate your pool design and style of the pool deck to create a cohesive backyard design, with spaces for you to gather with family, plant native species, and a pool deck to relax on alongside your pool.
3. Connect the Indoors to the Outdoors
With matching pavers and a clever patio design, you can create a flow from your indoor living spaces to your outdoor living areas. Matching the stone or pool deck surfacing in your backyard with that of your patio, you can merge these two outdoor areas and then bring that style into your home. Furniture can also help merge the two areas, carrying colors and wood tones from the inside to out, with matching pops of color or similar cushions and rugs. Try this trend and feel your living space expand, and watch your family and friends ask to come over more frequently to enjoy your space!
4. Natural Stone
When you work in the world of pool decks, you come to really appreciate natural stone. Our design team has extensive knowledge of the wide variety of options for natural stone pool decks, from travertine pavers, to marbella natural stone, all beautiful with distinct tones and subtle features that make it special. Natural stone is a backyard design trend for this year, and you can incorporate it in many ways including your pool deck, patio, pathways, bbq, fire features, and more.
