Ornamental Lawn

The standard of lawns that many people might aspire to, but rarely achieve. Many ornamental lawns will actually be of an unsuitable standard and would only really be classed as ornamental due to the height the grass they are being cut at. A lot of effort and cost is required to maintain an ornamental lawn to a continuously good standard. The main grass species used for these lawns will be Red Fescues and Common Bent, as well as select cultivars of Perennial Ryegrass, that are fine leaved and persistent under relatively short mowing. The height of cut for an ornamental lawn will typically be from 8mm to 18mm. Only a small percentage of the lawns in the UK will fall into this category.
