Low Maintenance Landscaping ideas in Oklahoma

This summer was a scorcher with record breaking high temperatures throughout the state and with each summer seemingly drier than the last it is more important than ever to incorporate a low maintenance eco-friendly landscape.

Oklahoma City weather, what grows here?

The answer is drought tolerant plants that are native to Oklahoma. You will need plants with long and deep root systems that tap into deeper moisture resources. The plants are naturally designed to handle Oklahoma’s dry hot summers. Arkansas Bluestar, Daylilies, Milkweed, Autumn Sage, Red-Hot Poker, Ornamental & Native Trees, and Shrubs are popular heat and drought resistant plants that adapt well to the soil they are planted in.

Mulch! Stone or Hardwood - Which is better for Oklahoma?

Mulching benefits go far past the aesthetics. A ground barrier separating the plants root system from the harsh summer heat and winter freezes is crucial for the success of any plant. Not only does a layer of Stone Mulch or Hardwood Mulch prevent weeds, it also regulates the moisture and soil temperature. Mr. Mulch offers a variety of Decorative Stone and Hardwood Mulch, something for every design.

Cedar Mulch, our Top Selling Wood Mulch, adds a dramatic impact and aroma. This product is made from local cedar, dried and shredded to a fine texture for landscaping. Cedar decays slower than hardwood mulch & its shredded texture causes it to mat together. This blocks the sun to existing weeds, prevents germination of new weeds, and is not easily washed away by rain. Cedar's aromatic quality naturally repels insects.

Looking for something that lasts a little longer? Consider Decorative River Rock. This beautiful stone is locally mined out of the Canadian River and comes in a variety of sizes. River Rock is a natural rounded stone with distinctive smoothness and colors. Centuries of moving waters and shifting streambeds created this beautiful stone. River rocks have many common applications, including landscaping & decorative ground covering, construction material for wall facades and walkways and for use in interior design projects.

Gravel near me. One of the top Google searches in Oklahoma for a good reason.

When it cost on average $150,000 to asphalt 1 mile of road compared to $25,000-$30,000 to gravel 1 mile you can see why there are so many gravel roads and driveways in Oklahoma. We deliver a variety of crushed limestone driveway gravel in the OKC metro, Moore, Norman and surrounding areas.

There are over 2.1 million miles (almost 54% of all roads including federal and state highways) of unpaved roads in the United States. 109 miles of roadway in Cleveland County are paved with Gravel.

A significant benefit of using limestone gravel is that gravel driveways are porous and will

help mitigate many issues caused by the heavy rainfalls common to Oklahoma. A porous surface around a

structure allows for the water to irrigate more rapidly and recharge ground water for added environmental

benefits. Many cities including Norman have begun issuing taxes on non-porous surface areas of homes to

encourage homeowners to create a greener landscape.

Maintaining a gravel driveway can be challenging, but with annual maintenance it is very attainable. We deliver gravel in dump truck loads with homeowners in mind. Thats why we use a smaller single axle dump truck that allows us to access more areas without damaging the ground with a heavy tandem axle truck. Sure, it takes us a few more trips to complete a job sometimes but we think the benefits to the customer are worth it.
