Want a gorgeous yard without the hassle? Asheville Landscapes can help you design a low-maintenance landscape that fits Asheville’s climate and your lifestyle.
Principles of Low-Maintenance Landscaping
Choose Drought-Tolerant and Native Plants: Less watering and fewer chemicals.
Use Mulch: Suppresses weeds and retains moisture.
Group Plants by Water Needs: Simplifies irrigation.
Limit Lawn Areas: Grass requires more upkeep than beds or hardscapes.
Automate Irrigation: Timers and drip systems save time and water.
Plant Recommendations for Low Maintenance
Yarrow, Sedum, and Lavender for color and drought tolerance.
Ornamental grasses like Little Bluestem.
Evergreen shrubs like Boxwoods for year-round structure.
Ground covers such as Creeping Thyme or Ajuga to reduce weeds.
Design Tips
Incorporate stone pathways, patios, and retaining walls for beauty and function.
Use raised beds to control soil quality and reduce weeds.
Add container gardens for easy seasonal color swaps.
