Black-Eyed Susan<\/em>

- Native plants have adapted<\/strong> to the local climate
<\/li>- Pesticides or fertilizers are not needed<\/strong> to care for them
<\/li>- Lower irrigation<\/strong> needs
<\/li>- Native plants help restore natural habitats <\/strong><\/li> <\/ul>
Read More:<\/strong> 10 Benefits of Native Plants in Landscaping<\/a><\/p>
Here are three of the best native plants for Central Texas<\/a>: <\/p>
- Black-Eyed Susan:<\/strong> These yellow, daisy-like flowers are very tolerant of Central Texas heat and attract butterflies when blooming in the summer
<\/li>- Rock rose: <\/strong>Like black-eyed Susans, the rock rose makes a perfect ground cover in landscape gardens
<\/li>- Yaupon holly: <\/strong>This evergreen can be grown as a shrub or as a tree, and has beautiful dark green leaves and bright red berries that attract birds. <\/li> <\/ul>
2. Rock Gardens<\/h2>
![\"rock](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/rsz_rock-garden-g6eb0ecbf8_1280.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Pixabay<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> A rock garden<\/a> is a form of low-maintenance landscaping using rocks, stones, and gravel.<\/p>
To care for a rock garden you have to deal with only minor issues that are easy to fix:<\/p>
- Stray leaves:<\/strong> As nearby trees shed their leaves, they might fall into your rock garden. Remove them with a leaf blower or a rake.<\/li> <\/ul>
- Weeding:<\/strong> Weeds can grow even in rock gardens, so remove them as they appear. To make it harder for weeds to grow in your rock garden, use landscape fabric as a weed barrier between the soil and the rocks.<\/li> <\/ul>
3. Xeriscaping <\/h2>
![\"xeriscaping](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/xeriscaping-1.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Jeff Herman<\/a> \/ LawnStarter<\/figcaption><\/figure> What is xeriscaping? Xeriscaping<\/a> is landscaping with a dry twist. A front yard of rocks or gravel comes alive with strategically placed drought-tolerant plants and trees. <\/p>
Advantages of xeriscaping:<\/p>
- Eliminates the need for mowing,<\/strong> fertilizing, and herbicides
<\/li>- Creates natural habitats<\/strong> for wildlife
<\/li>- Helps save pollinators<\/strong> such as bees<\/li> <\/ul>
The biggest effort is in considering various xeriscaping ideas<\/a> to create your design. <\/p>
If xeriscaping sounds like too much work for you — and you have a chunk of money — you can hire a pro. The cost for professional xeriscaping<\/a> is around $17,000<\/strong> nationwide plus $200<\/strong> per hour of design work and $50<\/strong> to $100<\/strong> per hour for installation. <\/p>
4. Mulch<\/h2>
![\"a](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Mulch.jpg\")
Photo Credit: SDI Productions<\/a> \/ Canva Pro \/ License<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> Mulch is a low-maintenance landscaping idea because mulch reduces weeding, and that means less bending down to pull weeds or spraying weed killers. <\/p>
Other<\/strong> benefits of mulch: <\/strong>Mulch<\/a> prevents soil erosion, helps retain water, and makes your yard look beautiful. It adds a visual element to your landscape, while also benefiting your soil. <\/p>
Georgetown Tip: <\/strong>The city of Georgetown offers curbside-collected yard trimmings<\/a> processed into mulch for free to Georgetown utility customers who reside within the city limits. <\/p>
(Caution:<\/strong> If using others\u2019 yard trimmings as mulch, you may be adding pesticide residue to your lawn.)<\/p>
5. Container Gardens<\/h2>
![\"three](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/rsz_5flowers-248822_1280.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Needpix<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> Container gardening simply means growing plants in a pot<\/a> or other container. This is a big advantage if you have a small area or if you want to grow vegetables or herbs without making a garden out of your yard. <\/p>
In your container garden, you can grow:<\/p>
- Flowers<\/li>
- Herbs <\/li>
- Vegetables <\/li>
- Evergreen shrubs <\/li>
- Trees (yes, even trees) <\/li> <\/ul>
6. Ground Covers<\/h2>
![\"ground](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ground-cover-in-texas.jpg\")
Photo Credit: Jeff Herman<\/a> \/ LawnStarter<\/figcaption><\/figure> If you want a beautiful yard but don\u2019t want to mow the grass every week or two, ground covers<\/a> are a great low-maintenance landscaping option.<\/p>
Ground covers are low-growing plants that form a layer of green leaves or flowers<\/a> over the ground. Other benefits of ground covers? With native ground covers, you can have a pest- and drought-resistant lawn, with little water needed. <\/p>
Here are a few native ground cover options for Georgetown: <\/p>
- Texas sedges:<\/strong> Resembles turfgrass, but with no mowing needed
<\/li>- Sedum: <\/strong>Evergreen that blooms in the summer with bright yellow flowers
<\/li>- Frogfruit:<\/strong> This ground cover attracts small pollinators and butterflies.<\/li> <\/ul>
7. Perennials<\/h2>

Autumn sage<\/em>
Photo Credit: Consultaplantus<\/a> \/ Wikimedia Commons \/ CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>Perennials bloom year after year without needing to replant them, making them low-maintenance. With the right care, perennials<\/a> live for 3+ years, keeping your landscape beautiful with no big effort all year round. <\/p>
Native perennials that resist our Central Texas dry summers include:<\/p>
- Autumn sage:<\/strong> Autumn sage can come in a variety of colors (white, red, salmon, and purple flowers), and can grow up to 2-3 feet tall.
<\/li>- Blackfoot daisy: <\/strong>Features a delicate white flower during summer and spring.
<\/li>- Mistflower:<\/strong> The mistflower produces lavender-colored blooms, but spreads so fast that it can become a pest. A good tip is planting them in pots, so you won’t risk it overtaking other plants.<\/li> <\/ul>

8. Rain Gardens<\/h2>

Photo Credit: Field Outdoor Spaces<\/a> \/ Flickr \/ CC BY 2.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> Contrary to what the name may suggest, a rain garden is not a wetland. In fact, a rain garden will remain wet only for the next 48 hours after collecting a significant amount of rainwater. <\/p>
What is a rain garden? A rain garden<\/a> consists of a shallow depression planted with a variety of native perennials, shrubs, and other plants.
Benefits of a rain garden include:<\/p>- Conserves water.<\/strong>
<\/li>- Purifies the water<\/strong> by filtering pollutants
<\/li>- Reduces soil erosion<\/strong>
<\/li>- Helps lessen flooding<\/strong> by collecting runoff in the depressed garden area.<\/li> <\/ul>

9. Hardscaping<\/h2>
![\"Hardscape](\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/5268080572_e21954bb20_c-800.jpg\")
Photo credit: Field Outdoor Spaces<\/a> \/ Flickr \/ CC BY 2.0<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure> Hardscaping consists of constructing a landscape with no living elements. It could be anything such as:<\/p>
- Patios
<\/a><\/li>- Walkways
<\/a><\/li>- Outdoor living areas
<\/a><\/li>- Outdoor kitchens
<\/a><\/li>- Outdoor lightning<\/a><\/li> <\/ul>
Hardscapes can be a good option if you want to add function to your yard or you have an empty corner. With a hardscape design, you can increase your property\u2019s curb appeal and even its market value<\/a>.<\/p>
Since there are no living elements to care for, hardscaping is as low-maintenance as it gets.<\/p>
