Tips for a Low-Upkeep Yard

A well-planned, low-maintenance yard saves you time and keeps your property looking great all year.

• Choose Hardy Plants: Native shrubs and perennials that thrive in Metro Detroit’s climate need less water and care.

  
  

• Use Mulch or Rock: These reduce weeds and help retain moisture, cutting down on watering and weeding.

  
  

• Simplify Your Design: Clean lines and fewer planting areas mean less trimming and pruning.

  
  

• Install Hardscape Features: Patios, walkways, and stone borders add function and curb appeal with little upkeep.

  
  

• Group Plants by Water Needs: This makes watering more efficient and reduces plant stress.
