Whoever tastes, is taking the concrete out of the yard.

The terraces and concrete paths, which once covered every inch of the courtyard, are slowly coming from the past. The new luxury symbol today is not marble tablets and completely straight paths, but greenery, natural materials and gardens that “breathe”. Those who have more and more financial opportunities are choosing the concept “less concrete, more nature”, while this trend from luxurious villas has even moved to the common courtyards of towns and suburbs.

The architects of the landscape point out that in recent years there is a visible turning toward the stable surfaces and the soft “”. Instead of a fully concrete courtyard, grass, gravel, wooden paths, and natural stone are now being left with areas between them where grass can grow.

The courtyard is no longer a parking lot or a continuation of the roof, but a small private chimney.

The most frequent elements of new luxury gardens are:

▪ Large grass surfaces, without excessive decoration

▪ native plants that grow well with little maintenance

▪ Wooden pergola and terraces covered with natural materials

▪ Garden furniture in beige, olive, and tons of soil

▪ Distant environmental lighting instead of reflections

Especially popular is the so - called “style of the wild garden”, where plants are not strictly and symmetrically pruning but leave the impression of natural growth. This concept requires planning, but it produces the effect of relaxation and Sophistication, it transmits Telegragraphy.

Snow, grass, and wood instead of asphalt

Rich homeowners are increasingly removing concrete and asphalt because it has proved that large solid surfaces maintain heat and make space unpleasant during the summer. Instead, they choose:

▪ Water - releasing gravel paths

▪ Wood - wood floors covered with thermal

▪ Stone and grass

▪ Small vegetable gardens and fragrant plants

The trend is moving toward the appearance of the courtyard as a continuation of nature, not the space of a mall.

Luxury designs often add water elements, such as small fountaines or natural lakes, because water visually refreshes space and creates a sense of calm.

A Calm Estestics

Psychologists point out that more and more people are seeking refuge from quick life right at home. Greening has proved to reduce stress, while staying in a natural environment improves mood. Therefore, investments in the yard have become as important as investment in energy.

Minimalism is still present, but now in a more natural form. Instead of perfectly pruning tendons and symmetrical vases, grasses have priority in meadows, Lyvanda, hortensia, and low vegetation that gives space to dynamism.
