Most people like the idea of having a stunning garden for their family to enjoy. However, lots of people don’t want to spend that much time dealing with maintenance. So here are some tips for planning a garden that is big on impact and small on work. While you might have to get your hands dirty initially if you follow the advice in this post you should manage to create a low-maintenance garden in only a few days. Now is the best time to start the ball rolling because you can have everything ready in time for the spring months.

Remove any non-evergreen trees and shrubs

Firstly, you’ll want to take a look at your garden before attempting to identify any non-evergreen trees and shrubs. Those are the items that create the most mess on your lawn during the autumn time. If you don’t like the idea of undertaking the job alone; you can always get in touch with tree pruning specialists who offer a removal service. In most instances, paying someone to remove any unwanted trees and shrubs from your garden is not going to break the bank. Just be sure to search online for local companies and then read some reviews before investing in their services.

Plant some wildflowers

Planting new flowers or bulbs every single year can seem like hard work. You’d have to get on your hands and knees in the garden for at least a few hours to remove all the dead plants and put some new ones in the ground. There is no need to do that if you choose to include some wildflowers in your garden. They should grow back every year, and so you can enjoy beautiful colors without having to get your hands dirty. For lists of the most suitable wildflowers based on your location – just search Google.

Lay the largest decking area possible

You’ll want to lay a decking area outside so your family can enjoy the garden during the summer without walking all over the lawn. However, savvy homeowners will create a large area of decking to reduce the amount of grass they have to cut every few months. Depending on the size and shape of your garden, it’s just a case of taking some measurements and calling the experts to obtain some quotes. While you can lay decking without professional assistance; it’s always sensible to pay for a specialist service. You can use the decking for:

    • Sunbathing
    • Garden parties
    • Barbecues
    • Working out

Now you know how to create a fabulous low-maintenance garden; nothing should stand in your way. Just put pen to paper and write down all the elements you want to include in the design. You can use the ideas from this page and add to them if it’s necessary. Of course, if you hate mowing the grass; you could always pave the entire lawn and save yourself the hassle.
