Everyone wants to have a stunning and relaxing outdoor space that would rival the beauties in the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. The only issue, is as always, time. Who has time to care for those clean cut gardens unless you are going to hire a landscaper? Here are the 5 best low maintenance landscaping ideas you need to use.
Rubber Mulch | Low Maintenance
This first one seems obvious, but it is going to be super important in the interest of time and low maintenance landscaping, to have a good foundation to your garden. There are so many people ready to pull their hair out as the weeds slowly overtake them.
Rubber mulch is going to be more effective than other types of mulch because it will not rot, will be better as standing up to the elements, and will be less of a harboring situation for unwanted insects.
Invest in year round beauty.
Evergreen trees and bushes, while usually on the pricier side are a worthwhile investment because you only have to plant them once. Unlike other seasonal plants and flowers that are fragile and need to be planted every summer, these are plants that you will be able to enjoy year round.
These plants are easy to care for and do not require obscene amounts of water during the hot seasons. Of course, they will be lush and green during the summer, but the real benefit is that they will still be green and beautiful during the colder winter months.
Plant Lavender
Lavender is one of those pants, the once planted is pretty easy to care for and can thrive in most soils. This is especially great for high dessert climates that do not see a lot of rainfall, but is a great landscaping idea for most locations.
There are many different types of lavender which makes choosing one that is right for you simple with just a little bit of research.
Lavender is aesthetic and scented which makes a very nice colorful addition to an array of greenery.
Low Maintenance Succulents
Especially with today’s common modern farm house trends, Succulents are a great way to add texture and personality to an outdoor space. Whether potted or ground planted, succulents are easy to care for, very low maintenance, and will not be effected by weeds that do spring up.
These plants are really nice if you are looking for something that will still bring color but will not need a lot of water or care. Succulents paired with the lavender and evergreens present a nice modern vibe to your landscaping, without the hassle and waste of common flowers and plants.
