Grass with class
Making sure the grass is always
greener on your side of the fence!
As the weather warms up and
you begin to head outdoors, you
may notice your lawn is looking
tired after the winter months.
Whether it’s a new lawn you decide you are
after or bringing your existing lawn back
to life, the team at Oderings Landscaping
have the knowledge and skills to create
a lush lawn that your neighbours will envy.
Preparation starts as part of the
consultation process where Oderings
Landscaping will gain an understanding
of what kind of use the lawn area will be
getting. Do you want the lawn to be a show
piece? Is it for backyard cricket with the
kids? Or will there be pets using the area?
Other considerations include the
surrounding environment, is it shady
or surrounded by tree roots. Based on
this information we can recommend
a lawn that will be fit for purpose.
Options for lawns include hand sown,
hydro seed, instant lawn and artificial.
Hand Sown Lawn – Although this is the
most economical way to build a lawn, it
will take longer and require more care to
get growing. Rest assured you can still
have a beautiful, well developed lawn;
you just need to be prepared to invest
some time. The type of lawn seed used
will depend on your lawn’s environment.
Hydro Seed Lawn – The most popular
way of installing a new lawn, due to its
quick growth and cost effectiveness.
Hydroseeding is the process of
spraying on a mixture of water, seed,
fertiliser and mulch. This means your
lawn will have a kick start of nutrients
and moisture to get it growing.
Instant Lawn – An excellent option
for those wanting quick results and an
immediate showpiece. Benefits of this
option include the lawn already being
around a year old and well established
when it arrives. Your new instant lawn
will also come weed free, having been
thoroughly treated for weeds, pests,
and diseases.
Artificial Lawn – Artificial lawns are so
lifelike it’s hard to tell you don’t have the
real thing. A pricey yet appealing option.
Despite a significant financial outlay, the
benefits are huge. There is no mowing,
feeding or spraying required. This is an
option worth considering for those with
little time for garden maintenance, but
still wanting the look of a lush lawn.
