What are we designing with this year? 🌿

Together with our friends at American Society of Landscape Architects, Land8 is moving past the usual predictions and asking landscape architects, designers, and peer professions: What materials are you obsessed with for 2026? What amenities are your clients requesting? What’s influencing your work?

We're pulse-checking the residential design community to see what’s really happening in the field.
