The following examples are effective solutions for the maintanence of your landscaped garden and will provide a solutions for those problem areas:

2.    If the problem is too much sunlight in the garden that causes drought, the solution is to use plants that are low maintenance and can be planted even in direct sunlight. The plants will survive even when there is less water or too much sunlight.
