15 Old Garden Trends That Have To Go!

15 Old Garden Trends That Have To Go! After fifteen years in landscaping and garden design, I can walk into almost any yard and spot a dated choice within about thirty seconds. And the thing is — most of these aren't obscure mistakes. They're choices that were actively trendy, widely sold, and genuinely popular. That's what makes them so hard to see when you're living with them. A row of builder-grade shrubs clipped into perfect spheres. Cheap plastic edging snaking around every bed. A bold ornament sitting in the middle of the lawn with nothing around it. One of these is showing up in yards right now as a "low-maintenance solution" that's actually quietly damaging the trees it sits around. Let's start at number fifteen. 🌿 ABOUT GARDEN INSIDER Hey, welkom! Here you'll find practical landscaping advice from 15 years in construction and design.
