Are you also tired of cutting the grass on time and off time. Maybe you have too big a lawn and don’t have time to mow it as often as you’d like. Then there is a simple solution to your problem. You can sow a flower meadow, or make it even easier for yourself and simply stop mowing the grass. How do you go about creating a garden that is both easy to look after, looks nice and handles the weather changes that we have during the seasons. Well, there are a few tricks that can be used to clear up both problems and a garden that needs a lift.
Read on for some simple methods and solutions on how to make your garden shine in no time. A flower meadow can self-rejuvenate and often there are already seeds from various flowers in the soil that come up when the meadow gets a chance to grow. But you can also buy seeds, or even better, pick seeds from flowers in nature that you think look nice. You can also think about having flowers that bloom at different times of the year.
Build a hedge
If you feel like you want to frame your garden for a bit more structure, planting a hedge might be a good idea. This has many advantages. In part, you get less visibility from neighbors if you live in a densely built-up area. It can also provide you with shade and shelter from the wind on windy or sunny days. Then you avoid the leaves that fall off when darkness comes and it stays green and nice all year round. Just make sure it’s not too high, because then the neighbors can knock.
But it can also add greenery to your garden. Privet hedge is an example of a hedge that is both very green and densely overgrown. There are of course other hedges than privet hedges , but the advantage of this one is that it also keeps its leaves well into the winter. That way it is green most of the year and makes for a more lush garden on those gray days.
Plant a tree
The last thing you can do is plant a tree. These pretty much take care of themselves apart from the occasional clipping from time to time. Take the opportunity to plant a fruit tree that also gives you fruit and vegetables. There are many varieties, such as apple, pear or why not a fig tree. Many fruit trees do well in our climate, especially if you plant them against a south-facing wall where it gets a lot of sun. Another idea could be to plant a coniferous tree.
