No one wants to spend their weekends doing yard work, but lawn and garden maintenance can be time-consuming. Fortunately, by selecting the right ground cover and plants as well as by utilizing rocks in your landscaping, you can create an amazing, low-maintenance yard. Below are a few suggestions to try. 

3 Low-Maintenance Landscaping Ideas

1. Invest in Artificial Turf

Tired of high water bills and constant mowing? With artificial grass, you can get a beautiful, green lawn without having to rely on fertilizer, water, weed killer, and constant maintenance. Turf comes in various lengths and types, and it’s suitable for everything from a practice green to a kids' play area. It's also extremely durable, looks neat all year long, and boosts your home's curb appeal.

2. Select Native Plants

Choose plants that are native to your area whenever possible. Native plants are naturally resistant to local pests and already acclimated to the soil and climate. Because of this, they require fewer pesticides and fertilizers. For example, if you live in a dry, hot climate, opt for cacti, succulents, and native wildflowers. They will be heartier, easier to care for, and less expensive to maintain than other varieties of plants and flowers.

3. Switch to Rock

Rock can be very versatile when used in landscaping. It comes in a wide range of shapes and sizes, from gravel to boulders. You can use rocks to create borders, centerpieces, paths, and rock gardens, and even to replace mulch. It requires very little maintenance and lasts forever.
