Top Landscape Gardening Trends for 2025
From eco-friendly designs to stylish outdoor spaces, read on and discover how Infinite Landscaping & Groundworks can transform and upgrade your garden with this year’s most popular exterior design ideas…
1) Garden Lighting
Starting with this year’s top exterior design trend, we cannot underestimate the transformative impact of adding the right lighting to your garden!
The secret to a stylish, well-lit garden is thoughtful placement and a design that enhances your space, rather than overpowering it. Warm, LED lighting is often ideal, therefore, creating an ambience that isn’t blinding or overwhelming, with the added advantage of the bulbs tending to last longer and be more energy efficient too.
Whether you’re looking to light up your garden path or driveway, accentuate each of your favourite spots, or simply illuminate seating areas so that you and any guests of yours can sit outside well into the evening, we at Infinite Landscaping & Groundworks can assist you with installing lighting that’s low-cost, practical, and easy on the eye in every sense of the phrase.
2) Outdoor Kitchens
No outdoor party would be complete without a bit of wining and dining, right? Hosting garden parties and BBQs and wanting to impress your guests are certainly nothing new, but if you really want to impress them, an outdoor kitchen area may well be the stand out trend of the year for you to consider.
Avid followers of our blogs will recall last month’s blog, which outlined the work that we recently undertook at a property in Cobham, Surrey, and the outdoor kitchen area that we put together for them. This comprised an Argentinian grill, gas BBQ, fridge, sink and a considerable amount of worktop space, resulting in a well-equipped, functional space, loved by the client and our readers alike.
Reclaimed materials were used in that instant to ensure that these mod cons didn’t look out of place with the more traditional look and feel of the rest of the property, particularly the folly (pictured, background). Were you to decide to use Infinite Landscaping & Groundworks for an outdoor kitchen of your own, rest assured that we would ensure that it’s in keeping both with your vision and the rest of the garden and property.
3) Fire Pits & 24/7 Functionality
By far and away the hottest (no pun intended) landscaping trends this year relate to making the most of your outdoor space, all year round, all of the time. While sitting in your garden is far easier to do in the late Spring and Summer months, with the sun setting later in the evening and the weather and temperatures tending to be warmer and more inviting, an increasing number of homeowners are looking at creative ways of having comfortable and relaxing areas in their back garden that can be enjoyed all year round.
Fire pits with seating surrounding its perimeter, particularly those under a covered canopy, are an ideal solution in this case, allowing you and your guests to keep cozy and warm outside for longer.
4) Sustainability & Environmentally Friendly Alternatives
For the most part, society as a whole is becoming more and more environmentally conscious, so it will likely come as no surprise to you to learn that the environmental impact of our soft and hard landscaping choices continues to be at the forefront of the mind of anyone considering a garden makeover and thus remains a top trend for 2025.
In many cases, such as with last year’s sustainable drainage system legislation, compliance necessitates opting for eco-friendly designs, such as natural stone paving and pebbles, too; in other cases, the eco-friendly option just so happens to be less time-consuming from a durability and maintenance perspective anyway, as would be the case with artificial grass, for example.
Sustainability has always been at the heart of our philosophy here at Infinite Landscaping & Groundworks and there are numerous assessments and standard checks that we will go through with you to not only ensure a high standard of compliance, but to provide you with a suitable and aesthetic solution you’ll love.
