Q: I am in the process of having a home built. The builder will be supplying grass, a street tree, and some shrubs across the front of the house. I can pick the shrubs from a list.
I am not a gardener and don’t have any interest in working in the landscape. There is a group of homeowners in the subdivision that has hired a lawn care company to mow, and I plan on joining the group. The company does not do anything with the rest of the landscape. I want plants that are as low-maintenance as I can get, but the landscape still needs to look nice, as many of the neighbors have nice landscapes. Any suggestions?
