Usually what has happened is that the original garden design took into account a fairly sunny aspect, however, over time this sunny aspect has become more shady with the growth of plants, trees and garden hedges. The growth of these plants may have occurred for a number of reasons including the home owner's desire for more privacy.
However, home owners then need to understand that if they wish to retain the existing shady outlook, then the lawn areas may need to be replaced with a turf more suited to and tolerant of shady situations.
Alternately, the homeowner may consider changes to the current landscape design including:
- decorative paving to the areas affected by shade
- extending and increasing the garden beds to areas affected by shade - it is important to plant low growing shrubs or ground cover plants in the shade affected areas, and to plant shrubs that will tolerate shade (obviously)
Any changes to landscape design may require the services of a landscape designer (or nursery plant supplier) to assist in the correct selection of plants for predominantly shady areas. More drastic changes might include a total over haul of the current landscape design.
Regardless of what happens it would also help the home owner to seek advice from a specialist Lawn Care company. A specialist Lawn Care company will give totally independent advice as to what is the right turf grass for the home owner's landscape. The cost of consultation for this advice would be offset by the cost of supplying and installing the wrong turf grass.
