There are several types of solution when you want to plant or sow a lawn in your garden, including:
Sowing
This option is frequently used, especially in large spaces as it is the most economical option. It also has the advantage of being able to choose the type of seeds that best suits your soil, location and intensity of use. After this choice, it requires soil preparation, and it takes some time to germinate and cover the sown area.
Grass Carpet
The grass carpet solution is the most suitable for those who want a uniform and natural lawn as quickly as possible. This option, in addition to being the most ready-made solution, guarantees greater uniformity in the appearance of the grass compared to the seedbed, and as the entire soil is covered by the base of the carpet, initially you will not have to worry about weeds.The disadvantages of this option are that there is not a wide variety of seed types on the market and the application cost is higher when compared to sowing.
Escalracho
Escracho, also known as graminha, is a species that develops through guides in the leaves that create roots and quickly spread, thus fixing the plant to the ground. It is known for being very resistant, for being low maintenance, and when compared to other alternatives, it requires less water. The escalracho shows regular and more pronounced growth in the warm months but when winter arrives, it ends up hibernating and has practically no growth. Due to these advantages, this solution is often chosen for gardens that require less maintenance and/or require greater trampling.To implement it, this type of lawn must be planted in the hottest months to achieve good coverage of all areas.
Ophiopoga
This type of grass is ideal for spaces with little trampling and low light, where the sun only reaches indirectly. It is widely used to create borders (reliefs) in the garden because the height that each foot assumes always stands out from the level of the ground. It is a species with very little maintenance and, depending on the conditions, only needs to be cut a maximum of 4 times a year, either direct sun or partial light (shade).Planting this crop is done foot by foot, and care must be taken to always leave the roots covered with earth. The recommended time for planting is in milder climates such as autumn or spring, taking advantage of the sun and humidity in the soil to establish itself.
Synthetic Grass Mat
This is the recommended option for the client who wants their garden without the costs and efforts that natural grass requires on a daily basis, but with the comfort and aesthetics that synthetic grass can also bring.In addition to the obvious economic advantages, such as practically zero water consumption and maintenance, there is also an ecological aspect when opting for this solution as artificial grass does not require pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, machines and other gardening tools, which means As the years go by, this materializes in less aggression from the environment.
The synthetic grass that Verde Alma sells and applies is resistant to climate and factors such as cold, heat, wind or drought do not affect these. For this reason, the grass will always be a pleasant, bright green, which also helps you save money as it does not require repairs or replanting.
