More homeowners in Ada are embracing low-maintenance landscapes that stay beautiful without constant upkeep. Here’s how to create one that thrives in our Oklahoma climate.
1. Choose Drought-Tolerant Plants: Opt for hardy natives and perennials. Favorites include:
Russian Sage
Sedum
Lantana
Junipers
These plants require less water and handle heat well.
2. Install Efficient Irrigation: Drip irrigation systems deliver water directly to plant roots, reducing waste and promoting healthier growth.
3. Use Mulch: A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture, prevent weeds, and improve soil quality.
4. Simplify Lawn Areas: Large expanses of grass require frequent mowing and watering. Consider reducing turf areas and replacing them with native plant beds, decorative stone, or ground covers.
5. Plan Smart Hardscaping: Incorporate patios, walkways, and seating areas for beauty and functionality with minimal maintenance.
