This topic is dedicated to those who live in the private sector or have a dacha. Let's take a look at how uncut grass can change the look of your yard. To understand when it is necessary to mow it, and when it is better to leave it, we will discuss several options.
Suburban area with a garden
If your dacha is designed mainly for planting vegetables, herbs, shrubs, fruit trees, then you need to get rid of the grass. The only thing you can do is leave it around the perimeter along the fence and around the trees. So it will play the role of edging and protect against excess land, bricks and debris from the neighbors and the road / path.
In that case, the taller the grass, the better. Of course, it will become high closer to the middle of summer. Make sure that the grass does not interfere with the fruit and vegetable crops in your garden and those of your neighbors. Of course, if it grows, you need to either trim it slightly or mow it completely.
Uncut grass in the garden between the paths, the house, the bathhouse, the beds looks sloppy. In addition, it will interfere with various work,move and cause injury. How? For example, you wanted to step from the path to the strawberry patch, but didn't notice a hole or a brick because of the tall grass. Well, if you just stumble! Therefore, try to cut the grass short.
On the site just a garden
Now consider the option of a site where there is no garden. For example, there is a lawn near the house. Some people believe that grass should be cut short and not allowed to grow. This is true in the case of a garden, but not in the case of a recreation area. What is meant? If the grass is cut, then it will prick. It is impossible to walk barefoot, to lie on the grass, even if an old blanket lies on it. What if you have children and pets? They will be uncomfortable, they will not be able to fully relax on the site.
Let the grass be uncut in this case. You can, for example, choose some corner measuring 10 x 10 meters, where children will play or animals will walk. It is better, of course, to provide different areas for children and animals. After all, animals will not only enjoy nature, but also leave excrement.
Children will be delighted if the grass is long. But watch the plants so that weeds, nettles, thorns do not grow among them. Remove them if possible. From time to time, the grass needs to be cut or shortened completely under the lawn. The new one grows back quickly.
Secluded nook
A chain-link or wicker fence? Neighbors, passers-by can see you … But you probably want to hide from everyone. Thanks to the tall grassmake a nook. Place a low bench, chairs or sun loungers in the grass so that it is not visible from the street.
Uncut green grass will not only hide you from prying eyes, but will also make you feel alone with nature. Just imagine: a light warm breeze is blowing, the grass is rustling and swaying. And you lie and look at the blue sky and dream of something pleasant. Of course, you need to make sure that unnecessary plants do not grow in the grass.
Large luxury garden
Let the garden, where there are trees, shrubs, be medium-sized uncut grass. It will give you the feeling that you are in the bosom of nature. Especially it should be left in the event that clover, daisies, bluebells, mouse peas, yarrow and other beautiful wildflowers and herbs grow. But in this case, try not to walk on the grass often and do not lie in it, so as not to spoil the appearance later.
Mow regularly only where there is a path where you most often walk or rest.
Natural flower beds
If you have beautiful tall grass growing on your site or there are a lot of wild flowers around, then you should choose the place of the future flower bed. By the way, you can even come up with a shape, for example, make it triangular, round, square or serpentine. It all depends on your preferences. Mark with pegs and string where you want to leave the plants. Mow the rest short.
See how it looks, do you like it? If yes, thenfeel free to continue decorating the site. Uncut grass in the garden turns into original flower beds.
Cautions
Everything would be fine, but there are nuances that should be considered. Before choosing a recreation area, make sure that the selected location does not have:
- hornet nests;
- anthills;
- bird nests;
- dampness.
This is all very important. By the way, remember if you made a waste pit in this place, if you often burned fires, if you spilled pesticides from the garden.
Try to keep the place to rest as far as possible from the fence, closer to the middle of the site, but not quite close to the house.
And one more caveat: make sure the uncut grass doesn't cause allergies. If you have asthma or allergies in your family, it is best to get rid of tall grass or flowers. He alth is more important than beauty in your area.
We looked at various options for how uncut grass decorates a plot. In this case, each person will be able to show imagination, come up with an original design and make a dream come true.
