Plant Evergreens
Thanks to this low-maintenance option, you won’t have to worry about your plants losing their leaves or color during the fall, winter, spring, and summer months. In addition to maintaining their lush green appearance, evergreens don’t shed a lot of leaves for you to clean up each season, making them a great low-maintenance landscaping idea to add to the front yard.
Evergreens require moderate amounts of fertilizing, making them an even more popular choice. They’re easy to maintain for many reasons, such as their leaves and needles forming thick layers of natural mulch once they fall to the ground.
Use Decorative Rocks, Stones, & Beach Pebbles
With low-maintenance landscaping, decorative rocks and stones are often a homeowner’s first choice. The styles you create with beach pebbles will generally require little or no maintenance at all. Decorative rocks don’t require water for maintenance, and they’ll normally reduce the amount of grass or plants needed, minimizing the need for water usage even more.
Add landscaping cloth underneath the stones. This will make cleaning up the debris less difficult. Since beach pebbles come in a variety of shapes and colors, from glimmering gold to black polished pebbles, you can decorate your front yard according to current trends or other styles of your choice.
Add Mulch
Reducing the time spent watering your garden or plants is a significant way to lower maintenance, which adding mulch to the front yard can do. Compared to other options, mulch is also less expensive. Applying mulch in flower beds or other areas in the yard is a straightforward task.
In the wintertime, mulch will protect the plants, helping them maintain their moisture and improving the quality of the yard. Thanks to mulch, when the spring and summer months come around again, your soil can maintain its quality, providing the great ground appearance you are seeking.
Include Walkways & Flowers
In the front yard, you can add walkways, giving guests various ways to approach your home and lowering your maintenance requirements. You can create the pathways with different options, such as gravel, bricks, and stepping stones like snow-white pebbles.
You can also incorporate low-maintenance plants like pansies, snapdragons, cosmos, lavender, petunias, and peonies along the pathways or in garden beds. These flowers will give your front yard even more bright colors and appeal.
With minimal effort, you can add enormous character and beauty to your front yard with rocks, stones, and pebbles.
