NASHVILLE, Tenn. - TelAve -- Many homeowners face the same challenge: yard areas where grass struggles, watering is a chore, and maintenance never ends. Greenwood Nursery is highlighting a simpler approach to these "high-maintenance hassles" with low-water groundcovers that naturally fill in and reduce upkeep.

"The most frustrating areas are often the ones that require the most attention but still don't thrive," says Cheryl Jones of Greenwood Nursery. "After nearly 50 years of helping homeowners, we've found that when you shift to the right groundcover, those spaces become the easiest parts of the landscape."

Solving Common Landscape Problems Homeowners frequently struggle with shaded areas where grass fails, dry patches requiring constant water, and slopes that are difficult to mow. These spots take the most time but deliver the least satisfaction.

Low-water groundcovers offer a practical alternative, spreading naturally to create a cohesive look across difficult spaces. Greenwood Nursery recommends these seven varieties for high-impact, low-effort results:

• Vinca minor: A reliable, evergreen carpet for deep shade.
• Pachysandra terminalis: A classic, uniform choice for shaded areas.
• Ajuga 'Blueberry Muffin': Provides seasonal color and suppresses weeds. Perfect for a welcoming "Arrival View" at the driveway's edge.
• Dwarf Plumbago: Features soft blue blooms and thrives with minimal water.
• Lamium 'Red Nancy': Brightens dark corners with silver foliage and pink flowers.
• Vinca minor 'Ralph Shugert': A variegated variety adding visual contrast to easy-care areas.
• Vinca minor 'Illumination': Golden foliage that brings brightness to shaded spots.

Less Work, More Enjoyment By choosing plants adapted to challenging conditions, homeowners reduce water usage and maintenance while achieving a beautiful landscape. "It's about working with your space instead of against it," Jones adds. "Gardening becomes much more enjoyable when you choose plants suited for the job."
