How do I design a low-maintenance landscape?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Focus on hardscaping with patios, pathways, and mulched beds to reduce lawn area. Group plants with similar water and sun needs. Use native perennials that come back each year. Install drip irrigation on a timer. Choose slow-growing shrubs that need minimal pruning. Limit or eliminate high-maintenance annuals.

Why It Matters

A well-designed low-maintenance landscape saves hours of yard work each month and stays beautiful with minimal effort.
