“For years, outdoor design has been driven by aesthetics and amenities. Spaces were assembled as a series of elements. In 2026, that framework is evolving. Homeowners are no longer designing yards as a collection of features. They’re designing environments — spaces shaped by climate, light, and local context, where planting, materials, and layout work together to create a cohesive atmosphere. The focus has shifted from what a yard contains to the experience of being in it.” - Kevin Lenhart, Design Director
