Low Maintenance Landscape Ideas

Landscape Ideas

Your yard is an extension of your home. The appearance of your property doesn’t just influence its curb appeal; it also impacts how much you can enjoy the exterior space of your home! 

Improve both at once with low maintenance landscaping ideas. You don’t need to commit to a lifetime of ongoing maintenance in order to enhance the appearance of your yard. Thanks to the following simple ideas, you can transform the aesthetic appeal and function of your yard with ease. 

Add Beds of Mulch and Crushed Stone

Mulch and crushed stone beds can be very handy. Mulch actually breaks down to fertilize your plants and prevent weeds. It does all of this for a low cost and only requires replacement every spring. Plants thrive in mulch, so you can enjoy more vibrant colors in your yard. 

Crushed stone makes a great alternative to mulch because it never has to be replaced but still looks neat and sophisticated, especially in hotter, drier climates. 

Create an Outdoor Living Space

There are so many benefits to creating an outdoor living space. Most importantly, the living space will limit the amount of landscaping you need to do. Whether you opt for a patio with a portico cover, a screen room that shields you from the sun and rain, or an outdoor kitchen that sparks up your cooking options, your outdoor living space can serve an important purpose while also making your life a bit easier. 

Plant Lavender and Other Easy Plants 

If you can only choose one plant, choose lavender. This beautiful flower offers a relaxing floral aroma and only needs to be watered once or twice a week in dry climates. It even serves as a natural bug repellant, so it’s a great choice near doors and on patios. 

Potted plants are also perfect because they are versatile and can add a burst of color to your yard without the need for extensive maintenance. They’re easy enough to move around, so you’re never stuck with something you decide you don’t like.
