For those who do not really like digging in the ground, or simply do not have enough time for this, there are many options for arranging a suburban area. However, even for arranging a garden for the lazy at the first stage of its equipment, you should carefully calculate the area and determine what goals and objectives the site should fulfill. The first step is to zone the space. The main place in the garden for the lazy, of course, will be the relaxation area. This can be a barbecue area with a barbecue, gazebo or patio. You can also determine a place for sunbathing, for this you just need to choose a small lawn, plant it with a lawn and, if necessary, put sun loungers on it. Recreation areas can also be supplemented with an artificial pond or swimming pool, but the water features on the site are far from being for the lazy, as they require careful constant care

Area coverage

Creating the perfect lawn in your garden is not easy. This element of landscape design requires physical and financial costs in the early stages of its creation. To cover the site with an ideal lawn, and then spend a minimum of effort on caring for it, you should not neglect the rules for planting it. A suitable option in the garden for the lazy would be a roll lawn. Laying the finished turf will help to clearly and quickly define the boundaries of the site; with the help of such a lawn, you can easily zone the space. Rolled lawn almost immediately acquires an aesthetically pleasing appearance and ennobles the territory. However, laying the finished turf has both advantages and some disadvantages. The cost of the finished cover is more expensive than seeds. You should also carefully prepare the ground for a rolled lawn: uproot stumps, roots and driftwood, remove stones, destroy weeds, pick up the soil and carefully level the surface to avoid air interlayers. The creation of such a lawn is a rather laborious process, but it is the fastest. Such a lawn should be equipped with a high-quality irrigation system and mowed periodically. The most unpretentious and no less interesting option is the Moorish lawn. It consists of a mixture of wildflowers and lawn grasses and creates the feeling of a blooming carpet. Such a lawn is practically maintenance-free and does not need a mowing. Tiles, paving stones, or gravel can be an alternative to the lawn. With these materials, you can pave the entire site or build paths and various sites with them. Such coatings do not require special care and will last long enough.

Garden

People who do not have the desire and time to deal with the land avoid building a vegetable garden on the site, since almost all plants require attention and careful care. However, it is possible to organize the garden in such a way that it is not a place of heavy physical exertion, but becomes a decoration of the garden and a source of fresh vitamins. For a lazy garden, you should choose unpretentious garden crops that are resistant to a certain climate. The beds should not be planted very tightly, since the care of such a vegetable garden should be appropriate. In order to protect plants from pests and diseases, protective plants are planted. They will not only protect the planting and improve the quality of the soil, but also give the beds an attractive appearance. These protectors include some flowering plants such as calendula and nasturtium. Spicy and aromatic herbs are also good defenders: wormwood, basil, parsley, thyme, mint and others. These plants will protect vegetables from pests and create a herb garden right in the garden without taking up extra space on the site.

Flower bed

Perennials are perfect for decorating a flower bed in a lazy garden. Having planted perennial flowers, you can forget about planting seeds annually and breeding seedlings. Beds with such plants will delight the eye from early spring to late autumn. Caring for such a flower garden consists only in harvesting dried leaves and flowers, destroying weeds and regulating the number of plants. An alpine slide and rockery are perfect for such a garden.

Hedge

An excellent option for landscaping a garden for the lazy will be a landscape or free-growing hedge. It consists of a variety of flowering trees and bushes. It may also contain fruit and berry plants that will delight the eye with both lush color and fruits. A free-growing hedge does not require careful maintenance and frequent pruning.

Also, the garden for the lazy will be perfectly complemented by various sculptures and decorative elements that do not require maintenance.
