Three plans for low-
maintenance yards

A No-Maintenance Landscape
Is Like a Free Lunch
There is No Such Thing!

But with some advance planning, you can have an attractive, colorful and fragrant yard that is both low-water and low-maintenance. These plans offer three different approaches to low-maintenance Xeriscapes.

You can mix and match plants and hardscapes to fit your yard, or design a plan of your own.

Coral Bells (Heuchera Sanguinea)

Some general tips:

• Less grass means less mowing and fertilizing.
• Trees with small lacy leaves such as Honeylocusts provide shade in the summer and easy clean-up in the fall.
• Many shrubs provide color, texture and fragrance while requiring little maintenance beyond occasional pruning.
• Some perennials require ongoing removal of spent flowers in order to look good; if you're not willing to spend that much time in your garden, select a less demanding plant.
