How Green Grass Can Bring Elegance To Homes

By Gregory Walker


Human beings are almost always in tune with the natural world. Having said this, it now is a wonder that places where man is present always has greenery surrounding buildings of commerce and industry, homes, recreational venues, and parks. This greenery is termed as lawns. This blanketed grass area is for the eyes to behold and for leisure activities and entertainment. This green blanket is kept in prime condition by lawn care Terrell TX.

The greenery that people can now see in neighborhoods and other places originated in medieval times as grazing land for meat and milk producing livestock. Instead of herding the creatures in faraway meadows and fields where they would be vulnerable to predators, man eventually found a way to keep these stocks in enclosures right where they can be seen and protected.

Looking back in history, the widespread popularity of having lawns in the surroundings had its beginning during the middle ages, a time when Kings ruled nations. The noble class who naturally had immense wealth began building castles and palaces. Although originally built for defensive purposes, in times of peace these were transformed into elegant structures with fabulous gardens and greenery carpeting the surroundings.

The grass is composed of many different species and these are used extensively depending on the place and the climate. The coarse type is mostly used in sports and athletic activities. The fine type is mostly adornment and ornamentation meant for visual appreciation. Some grasses are adaptive of with cool weather while others thrive in a tropical climate.

The establishment of grass spaces is not all too difficult. Here is how it is seeded and maintained. As previously mentioned seeding and caring of these plants are climates dependent and on the variety or type. Seeding is most effective the air is cool and the ground is warm. It is not expensive but it will take some time for it to sprout and grow. Aeration before planting will stimulate root thickness and growth.

There are many types of fertilizers that are used to enhance the growth and springiness of grass plots and these come in time release or instant forms. As with other plants, it needs proper soil nourishment and scheduled watering. Fertilizers come in many forms. They can be synthetic, organic, or inorganic. It is encouraged though to use the organic type as will have no adverse effect on the topsoil.

It will be no surprise if the grounds are crawling with insects that make their homes among the roots. These can easily be rid of with the use of pesticides or insecticides. However, since these are made of chemicals, there is a limit on its use since its dispersion may cause harm to the local ecosystem which can upset the local ecological balance.

Greenery spreads are maintained by cutting or by trimming occasionally. This can be done at any time during the year as there really are no fixed rules on when this should be done. Some homeowners choose to follow regular schedules intervals while others would just do it on plain impulse. There was a time when cutting was done with a sickle or a scythe. This was followed by the mechanical push roller mower. In present times, electric or petrol powered equipment can do the job.

It would be boring for civilized people to see a surrounding that is just bare earth surface or cemented yards and spaces. It would be like looking at an abandoned cemetery. Mankind has always been in tune with the natural world and it is this that makes man bring nature closer to his doorstep. The pure air accompanied with the scent of plants, of flora and fauna, almost always brings relief to tired weary man.
