Our house was on the market almost a year in a slooooow market. The people who finally bought it were from South Carolina, and they said my lush landscaping was the only property they had seen that didn't look deserted to them. (meaning, the garden was bright and colorful!) They understood when I said it really was low maintenance, because there was only 1 grass path to mow, and no weeds, and all the plants were perennial, and well established. Everyone else uses ugly bark mulch, and I had groundcovers everywhere. No mulch needed.
i miss that house. I'm shoveling mulch at this house...waiting for the day when I have groundcovers and no weeds.
