With cool mornings and warm afternoons, now is the perfect time to add landscaping in the Kansas City area. But at SK Lawn and Landscape, we know many of our customers don’t have the time or energy to maintain lush, plant-filled landscaping properly. That’s not a problem because SK’s landscape teams can help design and install low-maintenance landscaping that has all the looks you want but takes much less work. Low-maintenance landscaping doesn’t involve countless hours of sweating and toiling in the sun because most elements are chosen to be durable and still vibrant, even in the hottest summer months.
Low Maintenance Landscaping in Lees Summit, Overland Park, and Kansas City
Low-maintenance landscaping is an excellent option for those who want to maintain a beautiful yard without spending too much time or effort. Here are a few general strategies and specific plant suggestions that our landscape teams use:
Use native plants: Native plants are adapted to your local climate, soil, and wildlife. They generally require less maintenance because they’re well-suited to your area. SK’s landscaping team can help you pick the perfect plants for the Kansas City climate.
Add mulch: Mulch can help to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture, reducing the need for watering and weeding. Organic mulches also improve soil quality as they decompose.
Create a rock garden: This can be a beautiful, low-maintenance addition. You can add different sizes and colors of rocks and intersperse them with a few hardy, drought-tolerant plants. Our landscapers will show you what rocks are available.
Opt for perennials: Unlike annuals, which need to be planted yearly, perennials return year after year. Examples include cone flowers, black-eyed Susan, and hostas.
Plant drought-resistant plants: These plants require less watering. Consider species like succulents, lavender, or ornamental grasses.
Limit lawn space: Lawns can be pretty time-consuming to maintain. Consider replacing some or all of your lawn with a patio, deck, or a bed of low-maintenance plants.
Choosing disease-resistant varieties: Check with our landscaping team to find out which plants are bred to resist diseases common in your area.
Grouping plants with similar needs together: This makes it easier to care for them. For example, group plants that need lots of water and put drought-tolerant plants in another area.
