Creating a low-maintenance garden is a great way to ensure that you love your outdoor space for years to come.

If you’re considering investing in a backyard refresh this spring, consider these low-maintenance design ideas!

How to Minimize Upkeep in Your Garden?
One of the greatest things you can do to ensure a beautiful, low-maintenance yard, is hardscaping. Hardscaping by nature requires little to no maintenance. It also can help you carve out spaces for raised garden beds, build pathways, and construct retaining walls. The more you minimize planted areas, the easier it will be to keep up with the routine care of your landscape. Consider swapping a wooden deck with a concrete/stone seating area. You can also swap topsoil for gravel, real grass for artificial turf, or mulch for stone. These simple switches can make your landscape all the more easy to maintain!
Another tip for building a low-maintenance landscape is to incorporate native plants. By planting native species in your garden, you’ll reduce the amount of care needed to ensure that the plants thrive. This is because native species are accustomed to the climate of the region and can take whatever is thrown their way; be it drought or freezing temperatures. Some plants native to the Okanagan include Yarrow, Sagebrush, Mock Orange, Blue Bunch Wheat Grass, and Golden Aster.
