Home Lawn Care - Tips

By: Paul Zayer

Home lawn care could be as simple or complex as you make it. Before deciding to put in different colors and varieties of exotic plants it is important to figure out just how much free time you could spend on the maintenance of these special plants, or in lieu of your own loving care, if you can afford to have a professional landscape team come around to take regular care of your plants.

Any type of foliage that is not native to the region is called exotic plant and that means it will necessitate more care and supplementary items such as special food, water or lighting settings for it to bloom. So, one way to avoid making lawn care in your home a time consuming job is to plant only native plants that are used to fending for themselves, as it were.

Some individuals, like myself, tend to find even the most basic lawn care a little dull. Yep, even just lugging out the old lawn mower for a short clipping session can seem very dull. But then again, I live in a nearly tropical climate where the lawn grows so fast that if I don't trim every week in the summertime my backyard begin to look like a jungle.

For those of us looking for a way to cut down on even basic lawn care, there's also the herbal lawn. True, you may find it more work to get started if you already have a lawn in place, or if the existing lawn is for the most part a hardy variety such as St. Augustine or some types of crab grass. But you may find it worthwhile and even pleasurable to include an herbal lawn if you don't have a lawn yet or have a more fragile variety growing.

An herbal lawn is just what it sounds like, a lawn that is composed of an herb instead of a sort of grass. You can create an herbal lawn out of many different types of herbs. The challenge really is finding an herb that can handle heavy foot traffic at the same time that it is not too prickly or woody if you like to sit or play on the lawn. There are many varieties of creeping thyme and chamomile that fall into this perfect middles ground.

Herbal lawns grow more slowly than regular grasses and smell simply wonderful when they are tread or sat upon. In fact, herbal lawns can be so delightful on a nice summer day that many people erect what's called a 'gardener's couch'. A gardener's couch is created by shaping raw earth into a comfortable shape or shapes which are then sowed herb seeds. For an even greater olfactory thrill, plant a variety of herbs. Every movement from your body will release a different herbal perfume.
