Choose Drought-Tolerant Plants Native plants, succulents, and perennials like lavender, sedum, and ornamental grasses thrive with minimal watering. These hardy plants are adapted to your climate, reducing the need for extra care.

Use Mulch for Less Weeding & Watering A thick layer of mulch (like wood chips or bark) keeps moisture in and weeds out. This simple step reduces watering needs while keeping your garden neat and tidy.

Go for Perennials Over Annuals Unlike annuals that need replanting each year, perennials like daylilies, coneflowers, and hostas return season after season with little effort. They’re the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it plants!

These systems deliver water directly to the roots, reducing waste and keeping plants healthy with minimal effort.

Embrace Ground Covers Low-growing plants like creeping thyme, clover, or moss act as living mulch, preventing weeds while adding texture and color to your landscape.

Opt for Hardscaping Features Paved walkways, gravel paths, and rock gardens reduce the amount of lawn to mow while adding visual appeal. Bonus: They never need watering!
