There is no universal lawn for every need and location. Instead, you have a variety of different types to choose from. Whether fast-growing lawns for the impatient or slow-growing lawns for the highest demands; the following list provides a comprehensive overview.
List of lawn species
With the choice of lawn seed, gardeners enter into a bond that can last for decades. In addition, the lawn is rightly considered the green calling card and testifies to gardening skills. It must therefore be carefully selected, the optimal type of grass. The following list presents the main ways to contribute to informed decision-making:
| Lawn Types | ornamental lawn | utility lawn | Sports and play turf | shadow lawn | landscape lawn | dry grass |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| location | sunny to semi-shady | all layers | all layers | partially shaded to shaded | all layers | full sun to sunny |
| durability | high | high | high | small amount | for extensive use | small amount |
| care needs | small amount | medium | medium | high | 3 cuts a year | 2-5 cuts a year |
| shade tolerance | mediocre | good to medium | medium | high | medium | none |
| fertilizer requirement per year | 3-4 times | 4-5 times | 4-5 times | 4-5 times | 1-2 times | 0 times |
| Recommended quality mix | Majestic Royal by Kiepenkerl | Loretta Supra Nova Universal | Classic Green sports and play turf | Compo seed shadow lawn | Greenfield GF 711 landscape grass | Kiepenkerl DSV 630 |
Fast-growing lawn for all situations
When things need to be done particularly quickly, lawn experts have put together a special mixture. With products such as the 'Captain Green Wunder-Rasen' or the 'GartenMeister Wunderrasen' you will have a lush green grass surface after just 3 weeks. This also applies to the new planting as well as to the reseeding of ornamental and utility lawns in sunny to partially shaded locations.
Fast-growing lawns also score with a consistent displacement of moss and weeds, which cannot keep up at this rate and lose out. However, if you don't feel like mowing your lawn very often and don't have a corresponding amount of clippings, you will look elsewhere.
Slow-growing lawn impresses with premium quality
It undoubtedly takes its time in growing, as slow-growing lawns challenge the gardener's patience. Those who remain calm after sowing will be rewarded with a dense turf and rarely need to mow. The amount of clippings that has to be disposed of is correspondingly small. In addition, slow-growing lawns tolerate summer drought very well and are less likely to be watered.
If you are looking for suitable seed mixtures, you will find them at 'Wolf-Garten Natur-Turf' or 'Eurogreen Landscape and Rough Mixture'. Slow-growing lawns branch more intensively, so that they can withstand extensive use without developing bald spots.
tips and tricks
Do you know the secret ruler of noble grasses? The Lägerrispe (Pos supina) is hard to beat in terms of tread resistance, resilience and weather resistance. A quality lawn variety should contain at least 5-10 percent of this type of grass.
