We all love a well-manicured garden, yet few people want the hard work that goes into keeping said garden looking good and in this short article, we offer some valuable information to help you create a garden that requires virtually no maintenance.
Artificial Grass
Admittedly, earlier generations were far from ideal, yet today’s cutting-edge artificial grass is easy to install, does not move and always looks freshly cut. You get to choose the length, from 10-30mm, depending on your preference, they even have pet-friendly products, which is perfect if you have a dog. No more cutting the grass and a leaf blower is all you need to keep your lawn looking its best! Watering is also a thing of the past.
Make Best Use of Concrete
Those living in Queensland and Victoria can order from Real-Crete, a concrete specialist with an extensive catalogue of concrete pillars and slabs, with attractive colours. You might like a centrally located concrete water fountain, which is easy to install, while ready mixed concrete is perfect for paths and driveways. Concrete does not fade or crack and water will not cause damage, making it perfect for gardens. Your local landscape gardener can create amazing patterns with a hand-trowel if you want something unique. If you want a concrete patio, remember to put down some steel rebar to give added tensile strength.
Evergreen Trees
If you are not into sweeping up leaves, choose evergreens for your trees; a nice row of conifers creates a natural windbreak and with some training, you can make a hedgerow. Ambitious homeowners clip their shrubs to the shape of various animals, which is definitely an art! Take a drive to your local nursery and invest in trees and shrubs that are easy to maintain.
Composite Fencing
PVC fencing that looks like timber is the best material for perimeter fencing, with a matching gate to complete the look. If you are a DIY enthusiast, you can save a fortune by installing the fencing; YouTube has many videos that show you exactly how it is done, all you need is the tools and materials.
We hope the above information goes some way toward helping you create a stunning garden that is easy to maintain.
