THE ADVANTAGES OF A GRASS LAWN

By Stelios Hahlakis

 
Creating private and public green areas is an important activity. It contributes to the effort that people make to improve the environment and their quality of life. Grass presents a lot of advantages compared to other plant types. Its roots and plant mass grow very quickly and it's easily adaptable and capable of covering a multitude of spaces, without restricting its use. Also, it helps prevent ground erosion; enriches the underground water-bearing layers; helps to decompose chemical pollutants and to regulate atmospheric temperature, as well as reducing noise pollution.

Finally, with regard to the aesthetic and recreational advantages, grass influences in a positive way people's intellectual and physical activities and contributes to a harmonious coexistence, improving the quality of life mainly in the urban centres.
