Affordable and Low-maintenance Landscape for Mobile Home in a Park?

Any ideas for low-cost, low-maintenance yard treatment for senior mobile home park residence? Wood chips are old and ugly. It must be affordable. We are two seniors, neither good at yard work. We are thinking pavers (for step-out at curb), artificial grass, river rock, and such, but have a pittance to spend, and because of physical limitations, will need to hire or borrow someone to get it done. All ideas considered, including sources.

Go around the neighborhood. Many people will share cuttings with you. Perennials will be your best bet, as they keep coming back.

I think you are on the right track with pavers and you also can get red bricks for cheap. Putting down pavers gives you a nice opportunity for a container garden on top of it. Find low maintenance plants for your containers and you can create a really nice natural space.

Planters and sometimes even plants can be found cheaply at garage sales.

Weed prevention is going to be important if you down rock. If you can't afford weed cloth, cardboard or newspaper can provide some protection.

Remove the chip, spray weeds with spot treatment only to existing bed with a lite herbicide to kill off unwanted weeds. Place garden weed cloth and cover the cloth with a nice mixture of #2 river rock. Now get some Large urns and fill them with potting soil and plants of choice. Preferably Perennials that come back year after year. In three weeks, lightly fertilize these plants as their roots should have taken to the new environment by then.

Place the urns on the river rock beds as desired. This will provide you with an aesthetic look you can enjoy while maintaining a low maintenance garden for your enjoyment. When weeds start to appear in rock bed, spray the greenery with another dose of herbicide and in about 14 days, remove the dead foliage.
