Installing winter green couch grass

in your commercial property is an

effective way to make your shop or

establishment look more pleasing

to the eyes.

As you may know, the colour green

has a calming effect and seeing

this colour makes many people feel

more relaxed and refreshed.

By surrounding your commercial

property with greenery, you can

make your customers feel more at

ease whenever they visit your

shop.

Meanwhile, one of the things that

many commercial property owners

like about this particular type of

grass is that it is durable.

In fact, wintergreen couch is touted

by many turf growers as the best

all-around lawn. It has a dense

texture, making it more resistant to

wear and weed invasion.

And unlike other species of grass,

it can maintain its vibrant mid-

green colour all throughout the

year. It won't turn purple under cold

temperatures. It has very high

tolerance to drought, too.

When it comes to maintaining

winter green couch, take note that

this type of grass thrives under

direct sunlight. If you plant it in a

shaded area, it will become very

thin.

It may not even grow properly. For

best results, therefore, make sure

you plant this type of grass where it

can receive lots of sunshine.

Also, wintergreen couch is mostly

suited for commercial use so it isn't

probably a good idea to use this

type of grass in your home.

As mentioned earlier, this type of

grass is drought-resistant. This

basically means that it doesn't

require too much water to survive.

Of course, you still need to water

your lawn regularly. Otherwise, it

will dry out and affect the overall

appearance of your shop or

business establishment.

During summer months, turf

growers recommend watering your

lawn about three times a week.

When it is autumn and spring,

watering your turf about two times

a week will do.

When it comes to mowing, no more

than 30% to 40% of the winter

green couch should be trimmed.

Avoid cutting the leaves too short

to prevent your turf from becoming

more susceptible to damage and

diseases.

In summer, your lawn should be

mowed every seven to ten days.

During autumn and winter, on the

other hand, it should be trimmed

every two to five weeks or only if

necessary.

While it is true that this type of

grass has excellent colour

retention, it doesn't necessarily

mean that you should just leave it

alone.

Winter green couch needs

nutrients, too, for it to remain lush

and vibrant. To help the grass

maintain its colour during winter,

you should fertilise it in autumn.

When spring comes, you should

fertilise the grass again to keep it

healthy and free from diseases.
