The worst of all assumptions made by homeowners is that having a grassy patch or a lawn is an obligation that must be fulfilled under all circumstances. It would help you considerably, if you sorted out a few things in your mind before setting out to landscape your garden. There are options in the market today which give you alternatives for grassy patches. First of all, you would need to kill all the grass that exists in the lawn.

Because ornamental grass can be grown only when the lawn is completely rid of all the natural grass with minimal chances of it growing again as well. For this purpose, you could make use of herbicides. But for all those who fear what strong chemicals might do to your lawn, there are plenty of organic options o achieve this feat as well. Next, you could get yourself a turf or even consider the option of growing ornamental grass. Both these options are equally good and also eliminate the hassles of watering, mowing and trimming the grass regularly. You could thus make the best out of a virtually maintenance free lawn and enjoy it.
