By growing lawn trees you can give an excellent look to the lawn. Deciduous trees are more suitable to grow in lawn. This is because deciduous trees will shed the leaves in winter and allow sun light to reach the lawn grass. But ever green trees will not allow sun light to pass to lawn grass.
The trees should not have top roots so that land mowing will be easy. Otherwise the top roots will damage the land mowers. You can select fast growing trees that can not be destroyed by pests and insects. The lawn must be watered properly. Such water should not disturb the lawn trees. For instance oak trees will not grow in watered areas. Also remember that the trees should not harm the lawn grass growing under it. The tree leaves should not be much dense so that the lawn grass can get adequate sun light and air.
How to care lawn trees?
You can grow lawn grass once the tree grew well. You can keep the area under tree clean for 3 inches so that the soft lawn will not get harm while it touches the tree. Mulching the tree will help you to grow healthy lawn tree. But you should remember that mulching will not harm the tree.
During winter season you can use wire mesh to prevent mouse and rabbit from destroying the tree. You can use fertilizers regularly to get healthy lawn trees. During spring season use fertilizer rich in nitrogen and during autumn use high potassium fertilizer.
Shady lawn trees:
Shady lawn trees can be grown in lawn but ensure at least 4 hours of sun light reach the lawn grass. You can also cut some branches of the shady trees to allow sun light to lawn grass. You can also select shade friendly lawn that can flourish in less sun light areas. You should select good soil for lawn grass and trees. You should water the lawn grass adequately. Once the grass begins to grow water it by sprinkling thoroughly. You can mow the lawn under shady trees.
The shady lawns will naturally be weaker than the normal lawn. This is because they grow with less sun light. So it is better not to allow your children to walk or play in that lawn. The lawn trees need extra fertilizer than normal trees.
