Easy Maintenance Front Yard

While this front yard is still a moderate water user, it's design helps to cut back on both water and maintenance. Instead of fence-to-fence Kentucky bluegrass, this yard features a smaller area of grass with adequate planting spaces around the perimeter. The planting beds help add dimension to the yard, and mulch helps keep moisture in the soil, and plants healthy. This front yard could save even more water and maintenance if the traditional grass were replaced with a native grass such as blue grama grass.
