LandscapingNetwork.com reviews five emerging landscaping ideas from around the country for gardens and yards.

Calimesa, CA December 8, 2011- Trending landscaping ideas from around the country feature inspiring and unique designs that enhance residential landscapes. www.LandscapingNetwork.com takes a look at emerging yard and garden trends that are popping up at homes across the U.S., and offers tips for achieving the same look at home.

More and more, landscape designers are finding innovative ways to transform residential landscapes. The standard lawn and patio combinations have long been replaced with new, trendy design styles and philosophies. From low maintenance designs to playful Asian-inspired trends, consumers are focusing design plans on what's most important to them.

One of five emerging trends is the lawn-free revolution. These designs are chosen for more reasons than their sustainability benefits, but also because they're easier and cheaper to maintain. Mixing succulents, cacti, rocks and other features are great ways to replace a lawn.

Another growing trend in landscaping is the idea of artful gardening. Incorporating a single sculptural piece or other artful decoration can elevate any garden. Explore unique art sculptures made from concrete at www.ConcreteNetwork.com. Concrete sculptures can be custom designed and colored to fit any space.
