Which type of grass seed is best for ornamental lawns?
An ornamental lawn is primarily laid for aesthetic reasons. It is intended to grow particularly thick, fine, and even, and is generally not subjected to heavy use. Sports activities are clearly secondary here—the focus is on the lawn’s aesthetic appeal.
Ornamental lawns can be planted in both sunny and shady locations. Therefore, a high-quality, adaptable grass seed mix is essential.
