At Earthscapes, Inc., we’re always pushing the boundaries of landscaping, hardscaping, and maintenance to create beautiful, practical outdoor spaces. In 2025, we’re seeing exciting trends that bring specific features and elements to life. Below are five unique landscaping trends we’re incorporating into our projects, complete with real-world examples from our work.
Water features built with rugged, locally sourced stones like river rock or slate are a top trend for 2025, adding a serene focal point to yards. These features often include LED lighting embedded in the stones or underwater to create a glowing effect at night. Earthscapes recently installed a cascading waterfall with natural granite boulders and warm white LEDs in a client’s backyard, transforming it into a tranquil evening retreat.
Outdoor kitchens are evolving with modular designs that combine sleek concrete countertops, built-in grills, and storage units for ultimate functionality. These setups are durable and customizable, perfect for entertaining. In a recent project, Earthscapes built a modular kitchen with a polished concrete countertop, stainless steel grill, and a bar area, tailored to the client’s space and budget.
Outdoor fire pits, crafted with materials like stone, brick, or concrete, are a major 2025 trend, creating warm, inviting focal points for social gatherings. These fire pits can be gas- or wood-powered and often feature custom surrounds like built-in seating. Earthscapes recently installed a circular stone fire pit with a low bench wall for a client, making it the heart of their backyard for year-round enjoyment.
Corten steel planters, with their rusted, industrial look, are a bold 2025 trend, adding architectural flair to landscapes. These weather-resistant planters are ideal for showcasing succulents, ornamental grasses, or small trees. Earthscapes used cylindrical stainless steel planters in a front yard project to frame a modern entryway, creating a striking contrast with lush greenery.
Permeable paver patios, designed to allow water to filter through, are in high demand for 2025, combining eco-friendliness with stunning aesthetics. These patios, often arranged in circular or geometric patterns, are also durable and long lasting. Earthscapes recently completed a patio with herringbone-patterned permeable pavers.
These fun 2025 trends—stone water features, modular kitchens, custom fire pits, stainless-steel planters, and permeable paver patios—are transforming outdoor spaces into functional, beautiful retreats. Earthscapes, Inc. is ready to bring these elements to your property with our expertise in landscaping, hardscaping, and maintenance.
