There’s nothing like enjoying an evening under the setting sun with close friends and family. In magazines and on TV, we see never ending images of cool people casually strolling from their designer lounge or kitchen to a stunningly styled deck, beyond which, there’s a flawless garden.
But why is this so hard to achieve this lifestyle ourselves? The reality is that life is busy, we all have tons of more important things on our To Do List than pulling up weeds on a Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon. Yet we all want that idyllic indoor, outdoor living.
So how can we achieve it?
No matter how big or small your garden, the answer is embracing the right landscaping ideas to give you a low maintenance, great looking outdoor space that suits your lifestyle. It goes without saying that the less garden you have to tend to, the less maintenance there will be. But even with a big garden, there are ton of clever options when it comes to low maintenance landscaping.
Who has time for pruning, weeding and watering?
If a garden needing little to no care is your dream, and you’re in need of tried and tested landscaping ideas we’re going to be giving you a load of them over the next few weeks. But in the meantime, here are just a few ideas to keep your garden as low maintenance as possible:
1. If you want lawn, consider this artificial turf. It looks as good as the real thing and needs virtually no maintenance. Forget watering, mowing, sweating over edges, just sit back and enjoy it.
2. Rather than battling to level your table, chairs and soft outdoor furnishings on high maintenance grass, add a deck to your outdoor plan. Decking looks magnificent, no matter how big or small your outdoor space. With a great choice of real wood or composite, we have it covered. The great thing about decking is that it’s low maintenance and gives you that laid back, on trend look that we’re all yearning for.
3. If you’re more into stone than wood, then paving is likely to tick your boxes. At Innes Building Timber, we have a great choice of block paving, concrete paving slabs and natural stone paving. With kerbs and edges and a whole range of accessories, we have all your paving needs covered so you can create that low maintenance space you’re yearning for.
4. Raised beds and keeping plants in their place not only looks great, it makes garden maintenance a walk in the park. These sleepers are a great way to keep weeds at bay and make a real statement in your outdoor space.
