Fake your perfectly green lawn
Notes:
- At the heart of most traditional gardens, is a well-maintained, vibrantly green lawn. But lawns take a lot of looking after to keep them green. There’s mowing, weeding, aerating, feeding and watering. All this takes time.
- So, why not fake it with an artificial lawn? This may sound like a silly suggestion. And it’s true that some artificial grass can look just that, artificial. However, high-quality artificial grass can look great.
- So what are the artificial grass costs that you’ll need to bear in mind? Well, the greater the area you want covering, the bigger the cost. Then there’s the quality of artificial grass you choose. Ideally, you want to spend a bit more to get a good-looking lawn. And don’t forget, there’ll be costs for any preparation work and labor.
- However, after all the initial outlay, what’ll you’ll have is a low maintenance lawn that looks its best all year round.

A water feature that oozes character
Notes:
- No doubt you’ll want to keep planting to a minimum, to cut down on time-consuming gardening tasks. So, how do you create character and interest in your low maintenance garden? Installing a water feature is one way you can do this.
- Some water features are going to be harder to look after than others. A pond, for instance, still requires a lot of maintenance. Instead, you’re more likely to go for an off-the-shelf water feature. One that is easy to set up and maintain.
- There are a few things to look out for when picking a low maintenance water feature. [same win] Some need to be connected to a water supply and need electricity to work the pump. If you want to keep things simple, choose a water feature that has its own reservoir of water. You may also want to choose a solar powered version, so it can power itself.
- Finally, think about what material your feature is made from. As stone features age and collect a bit of lichen or moss, they can look quite attractive. However, if you choose a modern water feature made from glass or metal, it may just look neglected. So, think about the cleaning required to keep them looking good.

A low maintenance garden decking area
Notes:
- Decking areas are seen as a nice low maintenance feature in gardens and yards. A perfect space for entertaining. However, wooden decking does require a bit of maintenance to keep them in good condition.
- So, a better alternative may be decking made from composite boards. A composite board is one that is a mix of plastic and wood. This makes for a durable, lower maintenance material. Many manufacturers use recycled wood and plastic, so it’s not as detrimental to the environment.
- Choosing a low maintenance decking material [same win] should cut down on the need to oil or paint the boards, giving you more time to enjoy socializing in your outdoor space.

Container gardening
Notes:
- Having no plants in your garden or yard would be great for keeping it easy to maintain. But it would look incredibly dull and barren. Of course, it would be great if plants could look after themselves, but sadly, most need regular attention.
- So, what’s the next best thing? Well, there are ways you can cut down on the amount of work and time you need to look after plants. And container gardening is one great way to do this.
- There are plenty of benefits to growing your plants in containers. [same win] It limits the ability of roots to grow too far, and stops plants taking over as they’ll be limited by their pot or planter. It makes weeding much easier, and weeds won’t spread easily from pot to pot.
- Growing plants in containers also gives you the ability to reposition them when you feel like a change or you think a plant needs more sunlight. No digging or uprooting required.
