It isn’t easy to find time to spend gardening. It is much more fun to relax and enjoy your yard than to spend time fixing it up.

These low maintenance landscaping ideas are just the thing to make your yard look great with minimal effort.

Outdoor living space

By creating an outdoor living space, you can turn a part of the yard into a warm, inviting area. It not only extends the home, but there is less area of the yard to maintain.

Mulch beds

Mulch flower beds give the yard an organic feeling. They also prevent weed issues more than soil flower beds. Mulch beds around outdoor spaces also prevent you from trimming up close to the patio or home.

Crushed stone

Crushed stone is an alternative to mulch. It depends on the vibe you want in your yard or garden.

Avoid climbers

You should be selective of the plants your put in your outdoor space. One to avoid is climbers like ivy that cling to walls and fences. Climbers provide a large workload and may need continually tying up or cutting back.

Trade flowers for shrubs

Shrubs and hedges are perfect borders to put around your back or front yard. Flowers are seasonal and need continued care. Shrubs and hedges can be left all year long and look great.
