One thing that a lot of people desire when it comes to their landscape design is that it is easy to care for. This article will discuss 3 tips for creating a landscape design like this:
Use Mulch
Mulch is great to use if you are creating a landscape design that is easy to care for. Not only does mulch look nice in flower beds and around all of your plants, but it also does an excellent job of discouraging weeds from growing and protecting the roots of your plants. Since pulling weeds can take hours, reducing their growth in any way is going to be an excellent thing. If you'd like, you could even add landscape fabric on top of the mulch, and then lay either wood chips, rock, or some other material on top of the landscape fabric. This is a bit more work, but it will basically eliminate any problems that you have with weeds and helps the mulch hold moisture in for the plants even better.
Incorporate Paving
Another great way to create a landscape design that is easy to care for is to incorporate paving throughout the design. Pavement, unlike grass, trees, flowers, and other plant life, isn't alive and doesn't require the same level of care. In fact, except for annual maintenance, paving really don't require any maintenance at all. You can incorporate the paving by creating a cement slab, walkways, a basketball court, a gazebo floor, etc. in your backyard. These things not only look great, are useful, and provide a great deal of fun, but they also take up space and spot you from having plant life everywhere.
Install A Sprinkler System
Since plant life is inevitable when it comes to a landscape design, it is very important that you do all you can to make caring for your plants as easy as possible. One way to do this is to install a sprinkler system before you ever put your yard in. Installing a sprinkler system that also has a bubbler system is an excellent way to water not only your grass, but also your trees, bushes, flowers, and other small plants. The system does all of the work for you, and all you have to do is set the irrigation clocks. This ensures that it is set to water at the right times of day and that it waters the plants for long enough.
