What are the top landscaping trends this year? Every year new landscaping trends shape outdoor spaces in ways that make them more functional, sustainable, and visually appealing. Here at Paramount Landscaping, we like to stay on top of (and effectively incorporate) these trends!
In 2025, property owners are focusing on outdoor living, modern backyard design, and eco-friendly materials that provide long term value and ongoing curb appeal. Read through these practical solutions for your front yard and backyard this spring and summer. Whether you’re considering a complete landscaping upgrade, or small improvements to maximize your space, these ideas can work for any property. Paramount Landscaping is here to help you make it happen. There’s a reason why we were featured on the front page of the Construction Business Review Magazine this year! Start with the Design & Construction calculator to see what the financial footprint can be for your dream backyard.
The more you know about your environment, the more sustainable choices you can make for your outdoor space! Sustainability is a key focus in backyard design, and one way to keep things super sustainable is by choosing native plants to your area and growing zone. Choosing native plants that require less water and maintenance supports your local ecosystem and increases biodiversity, further saving yourself some trouble while keeping your garden looking lush. Drought-resistant plant and bush species, pollinator-friendly flowers, and perennial gardens are becoming more popular for their ability to thrive with minimal upkeep. If you’re thinking about upgrading your garden to a more sustainable version, Paramount Landscaping will help you find the perfect arrangement for your property.
Water conservation is a major consideration for homeowners, leading to a rise in smart irrigation technology. Ask us about our Irrigation solutions! There are many different irrigation systems, but automated is the most convenient. Automated systems use weather data and soil moisture sensors to adjust watering schedules efficiently without manual adjustment. Automated systems prevent overwatering, in comparison, saving both resources and costs while keeping lawns and gardens healthy.
In the summer, you want to maximize utilizing your outdoor space. Outdoor living spaces are becoming an extension of homes, which results in designing outdoor kitchens, pizza ovens, and dining areas to complete the picture. Consider built-in grills and full cooking stations, creating fully functional spaces for entertaining. Durable materials like stainless steel and natural stone ensure these spaces withstand the seasons, even Ontario’s harsh winters. Also, consider overhead structures like pergolas that add extra protection, shade and comfort.
Property owners are looking for eco-friendly materials beyond their gardens. Eco-friendly materials can be used in patios, walkways, driveways and retaining walls. Permeable pavers help manage stormwater runoff, while recycled materials offer more environmentally responsible choices for hardscaping projects. Consider composite decking, or natural stones when updating your outdoor spaces.
There are many ways to make your outdoor space multi-functional. How can you blend relaxation, entertainment and utility in order to truly maximize outdoor living this summer? Fire pits with built-in seating, gardens with edible plants, and modular seating for your lounge/dining spaces further provide versatility that can be used for different activities throughout the year.
