So, one way to prevent from making lawncare in your home a time consuming task is to plant only native plants that are accustomed to fending for themselves, as it were.

Some people, like myself, tend to find even the most basic lawn care a bit tedious. Yep, even just taking out the old lawn mower for a short clipping session can look very tedious. But then again, I reside in an almost tropical climate where the grass grows so fast that if I don't trim every week in the summertime my frontyard start to look like a jungle.
