Follow these expert-backed tips for low-maintenance cabin landscaping that requires minimal upkeep, while earning you more.
Build a deck
One way to reduce your landscaping efforts? Replace landscaping with something else entirely. One of the best things to consider—outdoor living spaces like decks and patios, which are magnets for guests. Although winter travelers can’t get much use out of them—that is, unless you have a hot tub outside (another big draw for guests)—they’re a huge asset to beef up your bookings throughout the rest of the year.
Instead of planting, watering, and pruning, you can focus on decorating the space for entertaining, dining, and lounging. Just be sure to purchase furniture and fabrics made of weather-resistant materials like POLYWOOD lumber and Sunbrella.
