This ugly plastic cover appears in the front garden of every second household.  It has no purpose in the garden as I can see it.  The surface does not aesthetically appeal to me. It looks very plastic and shows no aesthetic beauty. There is nothing better than going out your front door and seeing a lush green lawn.  And yes it may take some effort but the reward is worth it.  If you choose the right lawn it can be low maintenance and aesthetically pleasing.  At home we have some Sir Walter Buffalo.  This grass is very low maintenance; it only had to have sufficient water for the first few weeks and after that no watering is need and rainfall is sufficient to water it.  The grass can with stand high temperatures and browns off only a little.  The grass does not grow too rapidly so it can be kept out of gardens a lot easier then kikuyu.

Grass also offers a cool enjoyable place to relax and read, unlike the fake stuff that is hot and un pleasant.
