Low Maintenance Front Garden
My front garden is very traditional - lawn with flower borders. I have lawns at the side and a big one at the back, so I am thinking of losing the front garden lawn and converting it to a simple low maintenance garden.
Can anyone suggest a book or a website that would help me? thanks. |

How about either gravel or wood chippings, I use builders gravel after a good rain it looks just as good as expensive ones from garden centres, look up yellow pages for tree surgeons, they will probably give you chipped wood for nowt. Then plant between with perennials, nothing that grows too large, depending on if it gets much sun. I love cistas myself, geraniums also. |

I'd suggest paving it and incorporating some sort of water feature in the form of a fountain, or trough with fountain, pond, pebble pond etc. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |
