Gardening Services – Paying More for Less?
Minimalist garden styles may demand active garden maintenance services if a low maintenance garden approach had not
been designed.
As for property design management services, if a
simple approach has not been adopted, then maintenance costs may increase with
a decrease in return on investment. Therefore, if you are designing your
rental income property or considering a refurbishment of an existing investment
property, then do not forget to include the design of a low maintenance garden.
There are some several low maintenance garden
concepts from which to plan a garden to attract paying guests to your property.
Natural Garden Planting Design
Meadow-effect long wispy Gaura creates a natural
feel to a garden design and requires minimal garden services management.
Gaura requires pruning between late winter and early spring to encourage long
summer season white or pink flowering.
Herbs are attractive as well as aromatic and worthy
of consideration for a low maintenance garden design. In addition, if you
are providing a Chambre d’hote, bed and breakfast or une table d’hôte service,
then the growing of fruit, vegetables and herbs will be important in order to
cut cost and maximise your return.
Rosemary is another aromatic herb, late flowering,
which has fragrant leaves and added to roasted vegetables and meat dishes.
Rosemary’s light blue ground flowers may also be used to flavour custards and
cream along with sugar. The herb requires low maintenance care and it is
attractive to bees due to its great source of nectar. It has many benefits to
offer to an income generating property.
Lavender although may not be of low maintenance, the
herb is a good all year plant. The plant bears fragrant flowers, stems and
leaves and is ideal for its fragrance in the guest bed linen.
Remember . . .
Minimal gardens may cost more for less, so design
environmentally and economically.
