We all love a well-kept garden; a lawn with nice stripes, hedges trimmed, borders weeded and trees and shrubs pruned. While there are some who enjoy gardening, most people simply do not have the time, nor the inclination to spend many hours in the baking sun and who could blame them, when there are so many productive things they could be doing?
In this short article, we present useful information on how to create a garden that doesn’t take much in terms of maintenance to keep it looking smart.
Artificial grass
The level of technology we have today allows you to enjoy natural-looking grass that requires zero maintenance; a leading Australian supplier has numerous products of different lengths and quality; they even have pet-friendly artificial grass that you dog cannot dig up! The product is installed by a team of professionals and you can say goodbye to cutting and watering, forever! Lush and green, artificial grass is the perfect solution for the busy Aussie homeowner; all it ever needs is a leaf blower every now and then.
Artificial plants
Check out the realistic-looking artificial potted plants from Australia’s leading artificial plant provider and adorn your outdoor living space with stunning flora and fauna. From long ferns to stunning bamboo UV plants; contact the supplier and check out their impressive catalogue and let their design team work their magic.
Evergreen trees
Evergreens do not require much in terms of care and they make for a great barrier instead of fencing; yes, a row of conifers do need the odd clip to maintain their shape but they do not shed leaves, which is ideal! Evergreens are low-maintenance trees and they come in a range of sizes, depending on the species. A dozen small conifers will quickly turn into a beautiful natural screen that acts as a windbreak, while it also gives you some privacy. Here are a few cool garden features you might like to consider.
Faux timber decking and fencing
Composite materials rule and come rain, sun and wind, the surface remains the same; no painting or preserving, the occasional wipe with a wet cloth is all it takes to keep your deck and fencing looking like new. Once you install a composite deck, you have the perfect relaxation platform for you and the family to enjoy those summer evenings. A couple of hanging chairs, a bar and a few stools in the corner and a rattan suite, then you can add a few artificial plants in clay pots for the perfect look.
Block paving driveway and paths
Chunky cube blocks are solid when installed correctly and they only need a power wash every couple of months to retain that ‘just installed’ look. Crown your maintenance-free garden by installing coloured blocks that provide a visually appealing surface that takes care of itself.
We all love home improvements and we hope the above information helps you create a stunning outdoor living space.
