If this is the case, you may have to choose between the trees and the lawn. It's not just sun - that grass is competing for water and nutrients with big trees with established root systems. Here are some possible reasons: 1- Do you have a lot of large trees and shade? Even if the bag says it's for shade, you're going to struggle to grow grass under big trees. If you're a GARDENER, plant choice suggestions are not necessary here and you'll be anxious to get right out there and make your mark.Įspecially if budget's tight you really need to assess WHY grass isn't growing. There would be some deadheading involved. An alternative if you like SOME gardening, you could go for swathes of colour/texture with large plantings of daylilies, or rudbeckia, shasta daisies, echinacea. I would suggest pots by the front door but your shrubs are close there and there tubs might make the entry more crowded than welcoming. You could add impatiens in groups (not a row) along the edges of the path for summer colour. Something with a variegated leaf (hostas - some can handle sun). If you see gardening more as a job rather than as an obsessive/ compulsive NEED (me), maybe just add a few groups of short perennials in spaces between the shrubs you have to break up the same green colour these shrubs have. I know the mugginess and heat of summer can affect which choices southern gardeners make. I love the style I saw throughout NC and SC (and Savannah) of simple plantings featuring azaleas. Otherwise, you live in a wonderful area of the States for ornamental shrubs. If you like the idea of a tree or the play of dappled light, maybe someone from the south could recommend a small, open and airy tree with some blossoms. I agree that the nice tree in front of the window no longer complements the front view towards the house. That can lead you to colour choices in the garden. Do you need a handrail for steadiness on steps? Many people do. Maybe more large flat rocks in the wide 'path' to the front door. If the stonework makes stepping with nice shoes difficult, perhaps find someone who can get you some smoother stone for the main stepping places. Changing all over to brick would be pretty costly. While it can make for a clean lawn, bagging your grass can cause a problems for disposal.Like the suggestions for more stone steps - wide and with deep treads and a shallow rise. Your lawn will not be at its neatest if you mulch a lot of people think that it causes the yard looking messy and those extra clippings can stick to your feet when wet, creating an even larger messīagging of grass clippings is also relatively common it is simply packing your grass blades into a bag and disposing of them.Effective mulching may require you to change your lawn mower resulting in added cost.It can also do this if your grass is too tall or too thick Mulching can bog down your mower engine if the lawn mower is not suited for the task.This may allow people to mow the grass less frequently Mulching allows your grass to grow slowly the grass clipping that on the surface prevents the sun from falling squarely on the grass that is growing.Easier labor all you have to do is walk your mover over the lawn and allow the grass clipping to fall.Grass clippings add vital nutrients to your lawn this will go on to benefit the soil and you will be able to replenish the lost nutrients effortlessly.While it is not the only form of lawn clearing that there is, it is quite well used amidst a lot of people.
If choosing to mulch your yard you may want to purchase a lawn mower that will be very suited for that purpose as not all lawn mowers are well suited for mulching.Īs a standard practice, mulching is a necessity in maintaining a healthy lawn. The purpose of this is to slow down the growth of the grass and to add nutrients to the lawn. In deciding to go with mulching, you will have to cut your grass to a desired level and leave the mowed clippings on your lawn. Would you rather mulch your grass or bag It?
