Choosing the Best Lawn For Small Areas

After building a house, nest step in its decoration. Apart from interior design, choosing a beautiful lawn is also a thoughtful job. Probability is that if you only have a small area for a lawn then you won’t want to be paying a lot of time or money on maintenance. Question arises how do you choose the best lawn for small area?

Shading

Many small areas are mostly surrounded by houses, fences, sheds and even small bushes or trees canopy, all of which give us shade. Just a few of these objects can cause enough shade that means a lawn will struggle to live on. Select lawn diversity like Sir Walter soft leaf Buffalo, a shade resistant lawn and trim back or trim overhanging branches on a regular basis to allow sunlight to reach the lawn as much as possible. Sofa and Kikuyu should be avoided for small areas that are very shaded now or are likely to be as adjacent shrubs and trees grow.

Invasiveness

Small lawn areas are often surrounded by cemented areas or garden beds so unless you want to spend a lot of time pulling overgrown grass out of gardens or from between pavers a low enveloping lawn is a great choice. The best low enveloping landscaping are soft leaf buffalo like Sir Walter, Zoysia and Queensland Blue. Again, Couch and sofa varieties should be avoided.

Maintenance

A small lawn will preferably only require a very little amount of landscape maintenance. Select a lawn variety that requires rare mowing and watering.

Zoysia and Queensland Blue turfs, Australia are comparatively low maintenance, are drought resistant and won’t grow too long if not treated properly for a while.

Soft leaf Buffalo turfs like Sir Walter are also low preservation but do require more frequent mowing as it can grow very long if left unattended. It also requires a more regular watering administration.

Couch and sofa require more intensive lawn care to keep them healthy, neat, and organized and the growth under control.
