The expansive lawns need regular mowing, while hedging and topiaries require regular pruning to retain their neatly clipped appearance. The upkeep of flower beds is ongoing with the chores of mulching, pruning and deadheading. There are ways to achieve the look of an English country garden without the intensive maintenance, such as using natives and other easy-care plants.
