Let’s face it: there’s no such thing as maintenance-free landscaping. Nature always finds a way to sneak back in and reclaim its turf! But don’t worry, we at Rooted Landscaping LLC are here to offer you some low-maintenance options that’ll make your outdoor space look fantastic with minimal effort.
Low Maintenance Ground Cover: The Dream Team
If you’re tired of mowing, trimming, and fighting a never-ending weed war, you’ll love these ground cover options:
1. Crushed Rock
This one’s a solid (pun intended) choice for paths, driveways, or adding a sleek, modern vibe to your landscape. It’s durable, drains well, and gives you that low-maintenance edge. However, you’ll still want to give it the occasional rake and weed patrol.
2. Pea Gravel
Perfect for patios, around fire pits, or as an accent in planter beds. Its small, smooth stones offer a soft look, and it’s excellent for drainage. Plus, it feels kind of fancy underfoot, like your backyard’s rolling out the red carpet for you.
3. D1 (Crushed Gravel)
Ideal for those wanting a sturdy base—whether it’s under a patio, walkway, or even for a driveway. D1 is a champ when it comes to creating a smooth, stable surface that holds up over time.
4. Recycled Asphalt
Eco-friendly? Check. Budget-friendly? Double-check. Recycled asphalt is perfect for driveways or large areas where you need durability without breaking the bank. Plus, it’s kind of a rebel—giving your yard a bit of that edgy, “I don’t play by the rules” vibe.

Planter Beds, Patios, and Fire Pits: The Stars of Your Yard
Low maintenance doesn’t mean boring. Let’s talk about the fun stuff—planter beds, patios, and fire pits!
Planter Beds
A well-built planter bed not only adds structure to your landscape but also keeps upkeep manageable. We use high-quality screened topsoil and top it off with a good layer of mulch to help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
Patios
A patio is the perfect low-maintenance hangout spot. Whether you prefer pavers or stone, we’ve got options that’ll keep your space looking sleek and functional with minimal upkeep.
Fire Pits
Because what’s better than roasting marshmallows without worrying about grass growing underfoot? We install fire pits that blend seamlessly into your landscape, making your yard a cozy, low-maintenance retreat. S’mores anyone?
Weed Warriors: How We Keep Nature in Check
We know weeds are like that annoying neighbor who never leaves—always popping up when you least expect it. That’s why we take extra precautions to keep them at bay. Here’s our game plan:
Good Gravel Base: A solid base means fewer weeds making an appearance in your landscape.
Typar/Weed Fabric: We lay down quality weed fabric to keep things tidy and weed-free as long as possible.
Remove Organics Before Installing: We make sure no stray roots or seeds are lurking under your ground cover, ready to cause trouble.
But remember, no matter how much we prepare, nature will always find a way to sneak back in. That’s why we recommend a bit of yearly TLC—raking, replenishing gravel, and pulling any stubborn weeds that show up.
