Maintaining a beautiful yard year round does not have to
break the bank. If your budget is
modest, there are many options to help you improve your property and do so
frugally.
Patios and
Walkways
This is a great alternative to an expensive and high
maintenance deck. Once your patio is
installed the only care it needs is to be hosed off with water now and then or
sweeping it to ensure the patio remains clean.
How low is THAT maintenance cost?
Consider going in
a direction other than grass
Hardscaping will make the outside of your home beautiful
for years to come. Shrubs and other low
maintenance plants can cover the ground in areas that are free of grass. Potted plants which thrive in the intense summers
and mild winters of the Houston area can also provide greenery without having
to maintain a grass-covered lawn.
Don’t Forget Mulch
Mulch prevents erosion, weeds, and moisture loss. The mulch should be spread around tree bases,
shrubs and flower beds. Stone and
plastic liners can be placed around trees and flower beds with mulch inside of
them. Also consider stone, which is more
costly but very low maintenance.
Low maintenance and low budget options are endless in the
beautification of your Houston area home. For more information, contact Houston’s Laird
