Planning for a Low-Maintenance Landscape in 2025

February may feel like the quiet before the spring gardening rush, but it’s the perfect time to take a step back, reflect, and plan for a year of effortless beauty in your garden. If your garden got the best of you last year, and you found yourself overwhelmed by weeds, pests, or just the sheer maintenance, you’re not alone. Many homeowners, especially as we age, start to feel the burden of garden upkeep, which takes valuable time away from other priorities—like spending time with family, enjoying hobbies, or simply relaxing in your own home.

But there’s good news! With a little preparation now, you can enjoy your landscape without the hassle and stress that comes with it. Here’s how you can take inventory of your garden, assess what worked and what didn’t, and start planning for a more enjoyable garden in 2025.

Ask Yourself These Questions as You Plan Your Garden

1. Did I enjoy my garden last year?
   Take a moment to think back to last year’s garden. Were you able to enjoy it, or did it become a burden? Did the weeds take over, or did pests ruin your plants? If you found yourself spending too much time maintaining your landscape, now is the time to consider how you can make your garden easier to manage.
2. What worked and what didn’t?
   Assess your garden and think about what worked well and what didn’t. Did the plants grow as expected, or were there areas where you were overly ambitious? Maybe some plants didn’t thrive because the conditions weren’t quite right, or perhaps the layout could use some tweaking. Taking inventory now allows you to plan for better results this season.
3. Do I have the time and energy for another busy gardening season?
   Life gets busier every year, and it can feel harder to keep up with the garden. Consider how much time you realistically have to dedicate to maintenance. If you’ve noticed that your enthusiasm for gardening is waning, or if physical limitations are making gardening harder, it might be time to ask for help.
