Whatever your preferred gardening style, the
lawn is likely to play a key role in your design. As well as creating an
attractive outdoor carpet, making a restful green contrast with the bright
colours of your borders, lawns also have a functional role. Grass must be
hard-wearing, especially if you have children or pets, and needs to look fresh
and healthy for as much of the year as possible. With a little management, and
minimal skill, this is easy to achieve all year round.
In winter, when the ground is
saturated, or even frozen, healthy grass on a well-drained lawn will look
greener and will stand up well to the tramp of passing feet.
In summer, the more
vigorously the grass grows, the longer it stays green when drought comes, and
the more resistant it will be to diseases.
