Lavvedligeholdelsesplæner, often translated as low-maintenance lawns, are a gardening concept focused on reducing the time and effort required for lawn care. The primary goal is to create a lawn that remains attractive and functional with minimal mowing, watering, fertilizing, and weeding.

These types of lawns can be achieved through various strategies. One common approach is the selection of specific grass species that naturally grow slower and are more drought-tolerant. For instance, fescues and certain bentgrass varieties are often recommended. Another method involves reducing the overall size of the lawn area and replacing some sections with groundcovers, mulch beds, or hardscaping elements like patios or pathways.

The establishment phase for a low-maintenance lawn might require a bit more initial effort, such as preparing the soil properly to encourage deep root growth, which in turn reduces the need for frequent watering. Once established, these lawns typically require less frequent mowing, as the grass grows at a slower rate. They also tend to be more resilient to stress, such as dry periods, requiring less supplemental irrigation. Integrated pest and weed management strategies, focusing on promoting a healthy turf that can naturally outcompete weeds, are also key components. The overall aim is to create a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing green space that demands less intensive upkeep.
