Not everyone has the time — or desire — to spend every weekend pruning, weeding, and mowing. At Wicked Gardens, we believe your garden should be a place to relax, not a never-ending to-do list. That’s why we specialise in designing low-maintenance gardens for homes across Lewisham and South London, offering stylish, sustainable, and stress-free solutions that look fantastic all year round.

Whether you’re a busy professional, a new homeowner, or simply prefer more time enjoying your garden than working in it — this guide is for you.

🌿 What Is a Low-Maintenance Garden?

A low-maintenance garden is designed to minimise the time and effort required to keep it looking its best. That doesn’t mean compromising on beauty or character — it means clever planning, durable materials, and smart plant choices that do the work for you.

🪴 Top Features of a Low-Maintenance Garden

1. Evergreen Planting
Evergreens such as lavender, box hedging, heucheras, and ornamental grasses keep their shape and colour throughout the seasons, cutting down on constant replanting and upkeep.

2. Mulching and Weed Barriers
Adding bark or gravel mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds — a quick win for your garden beds and borders.

3. Artificial Grass or Stone Features
For those who want a pristine look without regular mowing or lawn treatments, artificial grass or gravel areas are a great option. They pair beautifully with stepping stones and raised planters.

4. Raised Beds and Containers
Elevated beds make planting and upkeep easier on the back and can be filled with low-care shrubs, perennials, or herbs that thrive with minimal fuss.

5. Smart Irrigation
Wicked Gardens can install simple drip irrigation systems that automatically water your plants — especially useful during hot spells or while you’re on holiday.
