With the promise of a new year upon us and finally an end in sight for the El Nina weather cycle, Brisbane home owners are making strives toward better outdoor living spaces in 2023. If you’re looking for inspiration and ideas, these are the most popular Brisbane landscaping trends for 2023. We are likely to see these trends emulated across the city throughout the course of the year, with the first quarter of the new year being a popular time to finally embark on that garden refresh you’ve been considering.
1. Glass Pool Fencing
The centrepiece of any Queensland garden is the swimming pool. With hot days upon us, even more homeowners are looking to build a pool in their yard or refresh their current design. As the pool is a central point for families and couples alike, we are seeing a strong shift toward glass pool fencing to ensure this showstopper is on display both for our benefit and our guests. A glass pool fence ticks all the legal requirement boxes without taking away from the appeal of sitting poolside catching some summer rays.
2. Climate Resilient Gardens
After a disastrous couple of years of weather, more and more homeowners in Brisbane are looking to safeguard their investments by creating climate resilient gardens. With continuous year round rain a constant consideration, Brisbane gardens benefit from proper drainage systems that will allow your garden to benefit from the wet weather, not be compromised because of it. A focus on proper drainage is likely to be one of the key considerations for home owners in Brisbane in 2023.
3. Structure and Symmetry
Many of our clients across Brisbane opted for structured gardens in 2022 and as we enter the new year, this trend is likely to continue in 2023. However we are noticing more and more clients request low maintenance structured gardens, with carefully trimmed hedges being complimented by tiling to ensure fewer maintenance sessions throughout the year.
4. A move toward low maintenance
Speaking of low maintenance, many clients in Brisbane are opting to remove large trees from their property to ensure less maintenance is required throughout the year. This is especially true of gardens with swimming pools, as pesky palm trees are replaced by lower maintenance planting options. At Bellamy’s Gardens we have a team of arborists who can assist with tree removal, as well as stump grinding to remove large tree stumps from your yard.
5. A re-focus on manicured lawns
Finally, we are seeing more and more clients shift toward higher quality grass seed in search of better lawns. And with the return of warm weather to Brisbane, it isn’t hard to see why! In 2023 we will see many Brisbane clients re-invest in their outdoor entertainment areas in a way that combines structured living with natural resources, to ensure a connection to nature is in the spotlight. So, what are you waiting for? We are looking forward to hearing about your garden project. Get in touch with the Bellamy’s Gardens team to begin your garden refresh in 2023.
