Tips to Keeping a Low Maintenance, Yet Beautiful Yard

No Ground Cover. Steer clear of planting ground cover. Unless you want to be pulling grass and weeds out of your flowers everyday, I’d suggest you not plant ground cover. I had a variety of ice plant and creeping jenny all over my rock walls. It looked awesome until grass took it over. I looked and looked for spray that would kill the grass but not the plants. The nurseries and chain stores could never recommend a product that would work. After all the frustration, I pulled everything up except for the perennial plants and trees. Dang, I haven’t pulled a weed in a month! It’s been awesome and so worth it!
