One of landscaping trends for 2019 for Minneapolis homeowners is to have a low maintenance garden. Back in 2013, sustainability was not the mainstream in landscaping or landscape design in Minneapolis, but now, low-maintenance gardens, less turfgrass, and drought-tolerant plants have become the norm in landscape design in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis – St. Paul in Minnesota. Minneapolis homeowners now assume sustainable landscape design will be a major part of the landscaping plan both for economic and environmental reasons. So, what are the low maintenance gardens?
Trees and shrubs are typically the lower maintenance choices in most gardens.
