English gardens are quite famous, I think the lawn is the most plain element. They have a large amount of different flowers and plants mixed together connected by a lawn. I wonder why only the lawn part made it to america.
- nemo44x 5y agoIt takes a lot of effort (and a bit of money) to care for an abundance of flowers and plants. Besides watering you have hedging and mulching and weeding and spreading preemergent, etc. where I live many people have professional landscapers come by weekly to mow and also take care of everything else and many people have beautiful yards. I’ve been doing it myself but I do hire a few guys in the spring and autumn to clean things up, lay new mulch (9 cubic yards!) and plant annuals of which I usually need about 120 plants. It usually takes a team of 3 guys an entire day to do everything. I take care of the rest of the maintenance in the summer but that’s a few hours per week sometimes depending on weather. Luckily this summer we’ve had ample rain so watering has mainly been cut out but weeds have thrived.
