How to keep my yard looking nice. Any ideas on landscape?.?

Question

I just visited Amish country & their yards are BEAUTIFUL. They have no weeds, no trash, very nice landscape & lovely plants. I really wanted to get my yard in shape. Any ideas on ANY yard tips? from keeping weeds out to flowers that grow well in zone 6 ( I think).

Just anyyy yard tip, or landscape tricks.

Any flower companies you use? Cheap yard ornaments?

I have an above ground pool. Any ideas of how to landscape around it?.

THANK YOU !!!! pleasee help :)

Just a thought, I thought moving to Arizona I would not have to worry about lawncare because it would be all rock.  Well, it's easier to keep a grass lawn weed free than it is to keep a rock one weed free.  With a grass lawn you just have to mow and spray on a weed stop that's lawn friendly and your good to go, not so with a rock lawn...nonstop weed patrol with roundup, they don't ever stop even with the preventative stuff.

Again..just a thought.
