If you’re growing tired of viewing the same view from your backyard, then maybe the time has come to change things up again. Here are some effective yet low-maintenance landscaping ideas for you, thereby helping you to shake things up while wasting limited time and effort.
Rock Gardens
While plants and trees may be pleasant, one way to create a unique landscape is by adding small rocks to mulch bed areas. Consider making a diverse arrangement with rocks of different sizes and colors, thereby capturing the attention of passers-by.
Ornamental Grasses
In addition to being low maintenance, ornamental gardens are durable and resilient, able to keep looking vibrant all year round. What’s particularly useful about ornamental grasses is that they add greenery to your garden without requiring the maintenance of natural grass.
Dry Creek Beds
This process is quick and easy yet highly effective. Start by placing landscape fabric underneath boulders and rocks to form a pathway. Then, line the pathway with driftwood and a variety of plants. “When it rains or there is heavy runoff, the water cascading through these dry creek beds looks particularly striking,” Bret Douglas, the owner of Ironclad Landscape Management explained.
