Landscape ideas that will survive without your love

JustHome Landscaping Design Blog

It goes without saying that the less garden you have to tend to, the lower maintenance there will be.

But there’s a ton of brilliant options when it comes to landscaping and keeping it low maintenance.

Beautiful yards with exceptional landscaping, can seem exhausting, because who has time for pruning, weeding, and watering?

Well, Just Home has some 5 tips to give you the balance of a beautiful yard without the upkeep.

1.) Adding paved surfaces to your yard is a smart way of getting rid of some of the high- maintenance grass while keeping the area functional for entertaining.

2.) It should be a no brainer to fill your garden with perennials rather than annuals so you won’t need to replant your beds each year. For an easy front yard landscape idea, opt for evergreen shrubs that don’t require your attention and look great year-round.

3.) Gravel and mismatched stones are also an excellent choice for ground cover. This will add a brilliant twist for any of your landscaping ideas, and it’s an easy way to spruce up your landscape. You can create a minimalist garden vibe with gravel and raised flower bed that will give you a layered backyard look and a perfect backdrop.

4.) Loose stones are another inexpensive and look great anywhere. Everyone will be envious of your fresh and minimalistic style garden. Just remember – you’ll always need more than you think to cover an area.

5.) Pots are lifesaving when it comes to landscaping ideas – there’s minimal weeding, and you can control how big your plants get. You can also rearrange your pots for a new layout, making them a flexible planting option. Since many low-maintenance plants don’t produce colorful blooms, you can incorporate splashes of vibrant colors with a few dazzling pots instead.
