I see that some flats are inevitable since there are lots of road debris and garden wastes in the road, and the roads are not so well maintained, but once a week is just too much.

Currently I am looking for some kind of airless tire or a tire liner. Are there any drawbacks, including ride quality? And do you have any brand recommendation?
Schwalbe Marathon Plus in the widest size you can fit. That's what I've run in my commuter bike for four years now. And the riding performance doesn't suffer as much as one might imagine.
