1. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Materials

Environmental responsibility continues to shape landscape design, with sustainable materials gaining popularity in 2025. Homeowners are turning to:

  • Permeable Pavers: These eco-friendly pavers allow rainwater to seep through, reducing runoff and improving drainage.
  • Recycled Composite Decking: Offers a low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood without compromising on style.
  • Natural Stone: A timeless and durable option that blends seamlessly with Bay Area aesthetics.
