Aspen Creek Landscaping Offers 3 Ways to Simplify Your Landscaping

This quote is a great way to start off National Simplify your Life Week.

When we think of simplifying things, often we tend to omit our landscaping, but that is a great place to simplify because caring for your yard can truly be a chore the more complex you go.

Here are 3 ways to simplify your landscaping:

1. Reduce lawn and yard maintenance. Depending on how much property you have mowing the lawn alone can take up most of your time. Plant ground covers, shrubs and perennials, and the remaining lawn will be simpler and faster to mow and maintain - especially if corners are eliminated (continuous, rounded swaths save you time when mowing). 
   
2. Complete the incomplete. Many times the thought of starting a new project is much more exciting than actually finishing something that was started weeks (or months) ago. Before you dig in to something new, take stock of any incomplete projects in your yard and finish them up. The satisfaction that comes from this, can be enough at the end of the day to satisfy those urges to move on to other bright shiny object.
   
3. Don't do it! That's right - we said "Don't do it." Sometimes it's easier to just have someone come in once or twice a month to take care of the heavy lifting for you so you can take time off to enjoy more of the things you love to do, like take a trip out of town for the weekend, or spend time with the family, or go see a movie.
