Landscape Trends in Ukraine 2025: What’s In Fashion Now?

Landscape in Ukraine is no longer just “beauty for photos.” It’s a livingspace, therapy, function, and a response to real needs. Here’s what’s currently trending.

1. Naturalness Instead of     Glossiness

• A mix of meadow grasses, shrubs, and perennials —     instead of sharp borders
• Uneven lines, wild asymmetry, scattered flowers     and grasses
• Visual lightness, closeness to     nature

2. Less Lawns — More Mulch and Clover

• Clover, wildflower meadows, decorative bark or     gravel — replacing the classic green carpet
• Less watering, less maintenance, fewer costs
• Relevant in conditions of heat, drought, and lack     of time

3. Therapeutic Spaces

• Spaces for rest, recovery, and quiet
• Sensory flowerbeds, soft paths, ponds, benches in     the shade
• The demand for a "garden for the soul"     or a "space without anxiety" is especially relevant in the     post-war period

4. Microformats: Maximum from     Minimum

• Small plots transformed into functional oases:
      ▸     Terrace + 2 flowerbeds + a shrub — and the yard already has an atmosphere
      ▸     Vertical beds, multifunctional furniture, folding elements

5. Grill Zones and Summer Kitchens

• Moving away from “decor for the sake of decor” —     instead creating a space for life: with fire pits, bars, shade, and     garlands
• Gardens as an extension of the home

6. Sustainable Solutions

• Drought-resistant plants, local species, gravel,     automatic irrigation with sensors
• Composting, rain gardens,     rainwater filtration
• Returning to natural balance

7. Lighting as Design

• Spotlights built into paving, illuminated trees,     cozy garlands
• Soft evening light — not for brightness, but for     atmosphere

8. Ukrainian Motifs — But Modern

• Revival of local accents: clay, terracotta, woven     elements, plants from our fields
• But without folklore clichés: modern     presentation, calm palette, concise forms
