How to Deal with Shady Areas That Won’t Grow Grass In Houston


Many Houston yards are plagued with shady areas that won’t grow
grass. These areas are eyesores that diminish the curb appeal of the entire
property. As much of a problem as this is, there are many different solutions
that can be implemented that will turn these dead areas into thriving realms of
new life.
There are also ways
to use inorganic elements to add décor in places that may not need vegetation
for aesthetic enhancement. Because Houston
landscaping requires a blend of both softscape and hardscapes elements,
there are always more than one option you can choose.
One way to
decorate shady areas where grass won’t grow is to invest in special patio
designs withtree
preservation in mind.In some cases, concrete, stone, or brick
patios are not an option. If a patio made from these harder surfaces is built
too close to a large tree, it will require cutting into the root zone and
damaging major roots simply to lay the patio foundation. Also, over time, the
tree roots will grow up from the bottom and press against the undersurface,
causing further stress to the tree.
