If you don’t have the time to keep up a grass lawn or your front yard is already dead, then creating a succulent garden is the perfect solution for you. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that nothing is more in style right now than succulent gardens, and it just so happens that they’re extremely easy to maintain. Succulents and cacti are a great curb appeal choice because they give great texture and color to any space, and you won’t have to worry about them dying if you don’t have a ton of time or cash to devote to the project. To create a front yard succulent garden, pick out a few varieties of succulents. If you’re stumped, try “Crassula,” “Echeveria,” and “Sedum” species of any variety. Once you get your succulents home, make sure to test the drainage of your soil. A good rule of thumb is that if you dig a 1-foot hole and fill it to the brim, it should drain in half an hour. If the water does not drain, then just pick up a bag of sand at your local Home Depot and mix the sand with the first 3 inches of soil.
