Outdoor Spaces Are Evolving

The outdoor living industry has come a long way from pressure-treated decks and basic paver patios.

Today’s homeowners expect more: cleaner lines, longer-lasting surfaces, eco-friendly solutions, and year-round usability.

At Buma Landscaping, we stay ahead of the curve by incorporating cutting-edge materials into every design. Backed by over 20 years of hands-on experience and certifications in drainage, horticulture, and construction, we know what works—and what’s worth investing in.

Here’s how material innovation is shaping the future of outdoor living.


1. Porcelain Pavers: Durability Meets Design

Forget concrete pavers that fade or stain over time. Porcelain pavers are:

  • Stain- and scratch-resistant
  • Low maintenance
  • Available in modern, natural textures like wood grain, stone, and concrete finishes
  • Frost-proof and slip-resistant

They’re ideal for clean, contemporary spaces and clients who want high-end beauty without the upkeep.


2. Composite Decking: A Smarter Alternative to Wood

Natural wood will always have charm—but composite decking offers:

  • Zero splinters, sanding, or staining
  • Resistance to fading, warping, or rot
  • Sustainable content (many brands use recycled materials)
  • A longer lifespan

It’s perfect for families and entertainers who want a luxurious, low-maintenance outdoor surface that still feels warm and organic.


3. Synthetic Turf: Clean, Green, and Always Perfect

Synthetic grass has come a long way. Today’s turf blends visual realism with performance:

  • No mowing, watering, or fertilizing
  • Excellent drainage for rainy climates
  • Pet- and kid-friendly options
  • Year-round green without the hassle

Used creatively in courtyards, dog runs, or modern play spaces, turf brings a polished look that solves real-world problems.


4. Modular Drainage & Structural Solutions

We hold NDS drainage certification for a reason—even the most beautiful materials fail without a solid foundation.

Today’s innovations include:

  • Slot drains that disappear into the design
  • Modular retaining systems that combine strength and style
  • Subsurface solutions that preserve the look of patios, turf, and plant beds

Smart drainage isn’t a “nice to have”—it’s a must for performance and longevity. That’s why we design it before we build anything else.


5. Sustainable Materials and Smart Technology

The next wave of material innovation includes:

  • Permeable pavers for water management
  • Recycled content in decking and pavers
  • Low-voltage LED lighting for energy efficiency
  • App-controlled lighting and irrigation systems

When innovation meets function, the result is an outdoor space that’s not only stunning—it’s smart, sustainable, and scalable.
