Investing in impeccable landscaping is one of the best ways to create a lasting impression on your property’s curb appeal. However, this is often a massive undertaking, one that requires a lot of time and maintenance.
So, how can you infuse your landscaping with new life while not taking on hours and hours of upkeep?
Luckily, there are plenty of stylish landscaping solutions that will enhance your space with very little maintenance! Here are some of our favorites!
Incorporate Alternatives To Grass
Grassy yards can require a ton of effort to keep them looking fresh, especially if you are looking for a more modern landscaping style. By investing in grass alternatives such as gravel, stone, or even fields of clover, the effort required for daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance will drastically decrease.
Choose Hardy Plants
While picking up your favorite plants, shrubs, and trees from the clearance section at Home Depot’s garden section may seem like a great idea at the time, a little research will save you time and effort in the long run. First, consider the average climate at your property. Is your hometown often expected to experience long dry spells, or is it known for its harsh winters? Several other factors that will impact a plant’s life cycle include sun, shade, soil, and moisture levels. If at all possible, invest in plants native to your location. This will guarantee success in your area!
Invest In Irrigation
While there are countless low-maintenance alternatives to grass, sometimes we just want what we want! If a luscious grass lawn is on your mind, there are still some key ways to transform your landscaping maintenance into a more sustainable and time-efficient task. Invest in an innovative sprinkler system like drip irrigation that will spruce up your grass sustainably, reducing water waste but ensuring the health of your plants.
