Many homeowners are gravitating toward easy-maintenance exterior garden designs that enhance physical and mental well-being by adding spa-inspired touches like meditation benches, fountains, reflecting pools, rock waterfalls and zen gardens to backyard spaces.
Low-maintenance water features can add visual interest and soothing sounds to a yard—even in drought-prone climates—because they actually require little water (and recycle the water they do use).
Meanwhile, at familyhandyman.com, their trend watchers are seeing patio furniture that mixes materials, such as metal and wood instead of a single material, such as wicker.
If you have a covered deck or patio, the site says you can bring it up-to-date by adding a ceiling fan. If you haven’t installed a ceiling fan before, rest easy—you can do it yourself in less than a day, and you’ll be comfortable even on the hottest summer days.
Familyhandyman.com also says that the days of small, bistro-style dining tables on the deck and patio are over, and that large-scale square and rectangular tables are hot.
