Artificial landscaping for quadplex

[Ray Ebert]

I was wondering if anyone has had experience landscaping using artificial plants and bushes. I purchased a quadPlex towards the end of last year and the landscaping needs a lot of sprucing up. I do not want to add significant additional maintenance costs that goes along with having shrubs and bushes that need to be trimmed twice a year, does anyone have any experience good or bad with using artificial plants bushes flowers etc.
