- Choose plants known to be reliable and problem free for your area and which would not outgrow the space you are working with.
- Reduce the size of your lawn , or eliminate it entirely.
- Prepare the soil well before planing, so that the plants get a strong start.
- Mulch to reduce weeds and conserve soil moisture.
- Install an automatic watering system , eg a drip line.
Find out about easy care trees, shrubs and of course the right methodology for planting the right varieties of trees. A common mistake is to choose trees that look just right on planting day, then rapidly outgrow their space. Unlike interior design, which looks best on the day it is installed, landscape design should look best, about five years later.
Crotans and Durante look attractive, but get burnt in the summer sun. so move them to a shady place.
One should look for compact varieties of many well known plants such as spirea, spruce and holly. Bird's nest spruce and dwarf serbian spruce are two low maintenance plants, as they grow slowly and do not require pruning. Japanese holly, Korean boxwood and dwarf japanese garden snipers are also low maintenance plants.
One must regularly check the moisture levels in the garden.
Place pots containing water in the garden to balance the moisture level.
The use of fertilizers is not advisable, but the use of dehydrated globules is a good option. These are easily available in the market and when soaked in water, absorb high amount of moisture. However, these granules have to be changed after every three months.
