Low Maintenance Landscape Design in Boise

Some people love to spend all day working in the yard. For the rest of us, it's a bit of a chore. Time is also a factor. After working on the job all week, we enjoy just having a little time off to relax. A low maintenance landscape is perfect for our lifestyle.

Low Maintenance Landscape - How to Start

The best place to start with any low maintenance landscape project is to have a detailed plan (before the work begins). With three decades of experience in the landscaping industry, Premier Tree & Landscape LLC will help you draw up a detailed yard design customized to fit your needs. If you live in Boise, Idaho or any of the surrounding areas, contact us to design a plan designed for your unique lifestyle.

Keeping It Watered

An underground sprinkler system takes all the hassle out of keeping the lawn watered. A standard water hose and portable sprinkler will get the job done, but it still has to be moved around.

Cutting the Grass

All grass will need some maintenance. However, some varieties grow less than others. One of the shortest growing grasses is Dwarf Fescue. An alternative to grass for a low maintenance landscape is ground cover.

Ground Cover Options

A popular ground cover for a lawn is "Dutch" or "New Zealand" white clover. This type of clover is durable enough for heavy foot traffic and doesn't require much maintenance. Weekly watering is just about all it needs. White clover also produces nitrogen to fertilize the lawn. Creeping Thyme is another excellent ground cover. It only grows about 4 inches tall and is also a durable ground cover for walking on.

Some other ground cover options are as follows:

Honeysuckle (mostly grown on a trellis, honeysuckle also makes an excellent ground cover)
Creeping Phlox
Brass Buttons

Adding Trees to the Landscape

Trees can be labor-intensive when leaves fall in the winter, and many grow so large that pruning can be complicated. However, if you want a tree or two in the yard, some are manageable and not overly messy.

Some trees to consider are the following:

Dwarf Spruce
Fruitless Pear
Crape Myrtle
Redbud
"Little Volunteer" Tulip Tree

It is always best to create a barrier around the base of trees to protect the trunk from being damaged by lawn equipment. A perimeter of about 2 feet with stones and filled with mulch is also quite attractive.

There are many options for a low maintenance landscape. Rock gardens are another possibility. To find out about the different landscaping options available in the Boise, Idaho area, contact us today at Premier Tree & Landscape LLC.

It has taken me a year to finally get a chance to write a review, which is way overdue. We absolutely loved this company and highly recommend them! They did a beautiful job taking down about 7 trees and one massive stump. They cleaned everything up very nicely too. This company actually brightened my day the couple days they were here, their team has a great sense of humor and very personable. Mark was awesome! So easy to work with and our kids absolutely loved him. I really trusted this company, especially around our kids. I can’t recommend them enough and will always use them and recommend them to friends and family!

We had a large amount of rock work done. New to us home with large yards and an unbelievable weed problem that I tried to get on top of and it was way overwhelming. My wife and I are almost 70 and had to explore options. Joe, one of the owners, was always on time from the bid to the job and there whenever he said he would be. They came to us recommended and they are Veteran owned so we had to take the chance. Joe and his crew went over and above our expectations and we couldn't be happier. I enjoy that I am able to give them a 5 star rating and a full on recommendation. We fully appreciate them. These are just a couple pictures that doesn't even do their work justice, it would take lots of pictures to show it all, and all areas were fully overgrown with large weeds.

Premier Tree and Landscape is a great choice for your landscaping needs. We called to get a quote for a tree removal and received a return call from Joe within 15 minutes. They came out to give us a quote that same day (within 4 hours) and Mark set up an appointment two days later. They did a fantastic job, very professional, efficient and the cleanup was perfect. Go with these guys if you want something done regarding landscape. 5 Star Company. We will have them back for any future needs.

Premiere Tree and Landscape is a great company. I have used them twice now and would not hesitate to use them again! They are professional and do an excellent job from the job assessment and estimate to completion with cleanup. And they are reasonably priced. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I had a globe willow cut down to about five feet. It was a very challenging job because it reached out over the house and the neighbors yard and was around 45 to 50 feet tall. They did a very good job.
