Do you love the looks of a perfectly landscaped yard? Are you limited on the amount of time that you have to spend keeping your perfectly landscaped yard looking perfect? There are a few options to consider to create the lovely landscaped yard that you want without spending all of your spare time tending to it. Here, you will learn about those options.

Carefully Planned Hardscape

Consider using a lot of hardscaping in the landscape design. Stone and wood used in the design can decrease the amount of work that has to be put into keeping it looking great. Not only does hardscaping make maintenance and care easier, it can have quite an impact on the appearance of your property during the winter when all of the plants have died and the snow has fallen. Carefully placed hardscaping can cause the snow to settle in unique patterns and create a truly magnificent sight.

Uniquely Placed Potted Plants

Potted plant are far easier to care for than plants that are planted directly in the ground. They are easier to maintain moisture levels, they are not as prone to weed growth and you do not have to worry as much about them spreading out into other areas of your landscape design.

Consider digging holes large enough to fit planter pots into. This way, you can purchase very inexpensive pots and achieve the appearance of plants that are planted directly into the ground. You still enjoy having the ability to control their growth and limited weed growth, but the look is controlled.

Plant Evergreen Plants

Evergreen plants add color to your winter landscape and they are very easy to maintain. There are several sizes, shapes and types of evergreen plants for you to choose from. You can create a border around your yard using shrubs, accent the front of your home using decorative conifers or plant a cypress tree in the center of your yard to fill the space.

Holly trees and bushes are wonderful in many areas of the country. If you are fortunate enough to get a male and female holly tree, not only will you enjoy beautiful greenery during the winter, but you will also get a splash of bright red holly berries.
