Top Outdoor Living Trends

Homeowners want function, efficiency and fire pits in their outdoor space, according to the 2011 American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Residential Trends Survey. The survey asked residential landscape architecture professionals to rate the expected popularity of dozens of different outdoor living and landscape features for this year.

This year, the top outdoor living features are some of the most basic: light, fire, food and a place to sit and enjoy it all. Overall, 96.2% of respondents rated exterior lighting as somewhat or very popular for this year, followed by fire pits/fireplaces (94.2%), seating/dining areas (94.1%), grills (93.8%) and installed seating like benches or seat walls (89.5%).
