Want a beautiful garden without the time-consuming upkeep? Many homeowners are turning to garden landscaping in Kent to create stylish, functional spaces that are also easy to maintain.
Whether you have a small garden or a large outdoor area, the right landscaping choices can dramatically reduce time spent on weeding, mowing, or pruning—while still giving you a stunning result.
Top Low-Maintenance Landscaping Tips:
1. Use Artificial Grass or Low-Mow Turf
Modern artificial grass looks natural and saves hours of mowing. If you prefer real grass, choose slow-growing, drought-resistant turf types.
2. Install Raised Beds with Weed Membranes
Raised beds make gardening easier and reduce weed growth. Use a weed control membrane under gravel or bark to keep paths and borders neat.
3. Focus on Structure Over Plant Variety
Use a few statement shrubs, like lavender or evergreen box, instead of lots of delicate flowers. Grouping plants by type and height also makes maintenance easier.
4. Include Hard Landscaping
Patios, decking, and gravel zones reduce the amount of planting space needed while making your garden more functional for relaxing or entertaining.
5. Choose Native, Hardy Plants
Opt for species that thrive in Kent’s soil and climate, such as ornamental grasses, sedum, and hebe. These require less water and attention.
