We have the supplies you need for a practically effortless garden, including perennials and materials such as rock, stone, pebbles, and gravel.

Below, learn some garden ideas that will help to ensure that you can truly enjoy your own beautiful landscaping with minimal garden maintenance required.
Obviously, the plants you choose have a lot to do with how much work is required in your garden. To keep garden-tending simple, the most effective thing to do is limit plant variety. Choose five to ten plant varieties for a seriously low-maintenance garden. This will allow you to be effortlessly confident of what each type of plant needs, and dealing with weeds will be easier.
When a plant is “low-maintenance,” it doesn’t require frequent watering, spraying, or pruning in order to be healthy and aesthetically pleasing. Also, fertilizer requirements are low, and low-maintenance plants have few disease and pest issues. Finally, the plants must be suitable for growth in the challenging soil common in Florida. In other words, the plants should be tolerant of or adapted to poor-quality alkaline, limestone-based or sand-based soils.
Be sure and visit Cypress Creek Landscape Supply for your gardening supplies. We like to think of ourselves as the one-stop gardening supply store. That’s partly because we do everything in our power to secure any plants, supplies, or other products that we don’t keep in stock. However, we have a wide selection of supplies on hand, including bulk items such as topsoil, washed seashells, and fill dirt. Visit our Garden Center, where you can find gardening tools, stone furniture, wind chimes, and products that will help you nurture your flourishing low-maintenance garden. Visit us at 12734 N.
