Many residential property owners want beautiful landscaping but don’t want to spend a lot of time maintaining it. Those two goals may seem contradictory, but a talented Landscaper in Poulsbo WA can create this kind of yard for customers. Not all landscaping has to focus on plants that require a lot of work.
Irrigation System
An irrigation system should be a priority so the grass and other plants receive the optimum amount of water for their health. The property owners never need to think about watering or turn a sprinkler on or off. Manual watering is better than nothing, but it usually results in some areas being too dry and some being overwatered. It’s also easy to forget to do the watering occasionally, and the grass gets dry when everyone leaves on vacation.
Patio
A patio that isn’t just a slab of gray concrete can add beauty to the yard and take up space that would otherwise be grass, which means less mowing. The patio might be made of brick pavers or natural stone and installed by a company such as Brookside Landscape & Design, for example. Low-maintenance container plants placed strategically on and next to the paved area only need regular watering and a bit of trimming on occasion.
Furniture
Colorful patio and deck furniture brightens up the yard. For decades, natural wood and other neutral tones were the most in demand for this furniture. Recently, however, people have taken a liking to bolder colors as well as pastel hues. Benches and Adirondack chairs can be purchased that are made of very high-quality plastic and come in a variety of lovely colors.
Plants
All of this doesn’t mean the homeowners want a grassy area with a patio and no other plants. A Landscaper in Poulsbo WA can plant bulbs in fall so blooms appear every year in spring without any more planting having to be done. Lilac bushes also add their delightful floral appearance and scent without anyone needing to plant flowers. Landscapers can recommend and plant low-maintenance trees that do not shed piles of seeds, cones and nuts that have to be raked up.
