No matter where you live, if you are considering a new landscape design for your garden, there is something that your garden will have in common with every other landscaped garden, and that is the need for it to be maintained.
Whilst landscaped gardens can invariably be a quiet oasis where you can relax wherever the desire arises, the relaxation will have to stop at some point. Maintaining your garden will have to begin whether you do this daily, once a week, twice a week, or every fortnight, and it will come down to two factors. The first is how committed you are to keeping your landscaped garden looking great, and the second will be how your garden has been designed.
For the former, there is not much we can do to influence that, as each person reading this will have their individual commitment level regarding how diligent they are in garden maintenance. However, for the latter, we can alert you to the fact that there are several features that you can include in landscape designs that reduce the level of maintenance needed for them. Read on, and we will highlight five popular low-maintenance landscaping features.
Decks, Walkways And Paths
This next suggestion is based on the premise that the fewer natural features you have in your landscaped garden, the less maintenance you need. So, by asking your deck builders to add walkways, including paving, to your landscape design, you have a scenario where the only maintenance required is to clean them occasionally and check for any damage, which should be a quick, effortless task.
Decks are great for sitting out, enjoying your garden, and entertaining friends and family. The other benefit of walkways and paving is that almost all options are available as local conditions, such as the climate, do not impact what types you can use in your landscape design.
