Luckily, we design and maintain low maintenance landscapes in Boulder and beyond that don’t require as much care and attention!
Native Plantings
Often when people think of low maintenance yards they picture dry, rock-filled landscapes. But we’re here to tell you that’s not true! Just because a landscape is low maintenance doesn’t mean it can’t also be lush. For example, using native grasses and perennials instead of planting a typical green lawn will add texture, color, and interest without the hard work. Another great low-maintenance alternative is making the green lawn smaller so it requires less water and attention.
