Low Maintenance Gardens in Rushwick: Easy-Care Design

We design and build easy-care gardens for homes in Rushwick, Worcester, Powick, Leigh Sinton and Lower Broadheath. A low upkeep plan can be built in stages, starting with the part of the garden that bothers you most.

Patios, fencing and lawns that look after themselves

The gardens we see here often need patios, fencing and low-maintenance lawns, and those three together do most of the work. A sizeable patio gives you somewhere to sit without mowing, a solid fence provides privacy without constant repair, and a lawn with neat edges can be mown quickly.

Borders can be reduced and mulched, with tough planting that fills the space and keeps weeds down. Choosing the right surfaces matters. Paving or gravel over a membrane stops weeds in the places you walk, while mulch holds moisture in beds so planting needs less watering. A few robust shrubs often look better than a crowded border that needs constant tidying.

• A generous patio that needs only sweeping
• Composite or sound timber fencing
• A smaller lawn with clean, firm edges
• Mulch and ground cover in the borders

Planning it as one scheme

Low upkeep works best when the pieces are planned together. The patio, paths, lawn and borders can all be set out in a single visit, so the garden flows from the house to the far boundary without wasted corners. Keeping some lawn is perfectly sensible, particularly where children play, and a neat edge makes it far less work to look after.
