All About Easy Landscaping

Low-maintenance gardens are all about easy landscaping and growing undemanding plants, such as perennials and wildflowers.

Love the look of a beautiful garden? Yet, due to a busy lifestyle or any other reason, trying to find a way to reduce gardening tasks?

If so, consider low-maintenance gardening. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean to stop caring for features and/or functions that come first on your priority list. Actually, what you need to do is reduce activities in other parts of the garden.

As lawns are time- and labor-consuming, opt for alternative solutions, such as meadows.

Start re-planning your landscape and keep things as simple as you can. Try to create a no-dig garden. Large raised beds and straw bale gardens are always an impressive choice!

Focus on less upkeep options, such as perennials, climate-specific grasses and native plants, and no-fuss flowers.

Generally, focus on feeding your soil, not the plants because healthy soil grows disease- and pest-free plants. Always keep in mind that digging and tilling destroy soil life.
