Lawns are generally not too large for courtyard landscaping, but they require more attention than ordinary landscaping varieties.
When planting a lawn for a villa, you can choose a higher-grade lawn with better ornamental effects, such as paradise grass, carpet grass, and other high-quality varieties. So, what kind of lawn is suitable for a cottage yard?
Nowadays, the greening of villas is very popular. Planting a lawn in the courtyard can not only serve as a space for walking dogs and resting but also provide a place to read a book and engage in recreational activities. The lawn varieties used in villa courtyards should be of high quality and generally need to meet long green periods, have a good appearance, have good management, and good maintenance.
The most important thing is to have a good idea of the type of lawn you want to plant. Some good-looking, well-maintained lawn varieties are also preferred, providing good visual effects and enhancing the overall experience.
In addition to the exquisite and beautiful architecture of high-end villas, greenery is a common feature. A variety of flowers, trees, and plants are planted together to form a natural beauty, and green lawns are particularly popular. Turf is an essential element in garden design, not only as a main scene in landscape design, but also in combination with rocks, rockeries, trees, flowers, and slopes to create a landscape.
The specific species chosen needs to be based on the geographical location. Warm-season lawns are suitable for southern areas, growing at 25℃-35℃, heat-resistant, and disease-resistant.
Dogbane, knotweed, and paintbrush are good choices. Cool-season lawn grasses are suitable for northern areas, growing at temperatures of 15℃-25℃. Early grass, fescue, ryegrass, etc. are good choices, having the strong sprouting ability and fast spreading, which is better for a yard lawn.
Tall fescue, green grass, Bermuda, etc. are very suitable for planting in the cottage yard lawn grass. The usual maintenance work includes fertilization and watering, pruning, weed control, perforation, etc. If you plant tall fescue, you need to pay attention to pruning and watering.
If you plant bermuda, the grass is green and likes temperature and humidity, so you should ensure warmth in autumn and winter. Dwarf bermudagrass is prone to stolon tender or leaf dryness in summer when there is drought, so pay attention to watering and cooling, and to warmth and cold in winter.
In addition to natural grass, people like to choose artificial turf. Here are some advantages of paving artificial lawns in a cottage garden:
1. Clean and hygienic
An artificial lawn is not like a natural lawn, which attracts insects. It has excellent corrosion resistance and is not easily corroded by bacteria or other debris, making it more clean and hygienic and ensuring better health for the owner.
2. Short laying period
The laying period of artificial lawns is much shorter than that of natural lawns, and the artificial lawn can be put into use immediately after the laying is completed. This makes it easier and more convenient, without the need to wait for maintenance.
3. Low cost
The cost of artificial turf is much lower than that of natural turf, with the quality of artificial turf less than two hundred yuan per square meter, including auxiliary materials. Natural turf costs four or five hundred yuan per square meter without auxiliary materials, which is really expensive.
