Zoysia
Also known Japanese or Korean grass. Very narrow
leaves. Bright green to greyish. Slow growth. It is
not too demanding for soil fertility. Resistant to light
traffic. Loves sunny places, but it goes well in half-
shadowed areas. Good for seaside grounds. Ideal
for home gardens, swimming-pool surroundings
and sunbath areas. It goes well among stones
plates.
Italian Grass
Also known as black grass. It has fine and dark-
green leaves. Although it is not a specific kind of
grass (belonging to the Liliaceae and not to the
grasses family) it is much used as bedding in half or
totally shadowed areas. It is very used for flower-bed
borders, declivities and shadowed areas.
Cut
4. A careful cut is essential. The first cut should
be done as soon as the grass is rooted, in order
to force its horizontal growth. After that, cut it
each time it surpasses 5 to 7 cm height. Anyway,
in warmer seasons, the higher the grass is, the
stronger it will be, once it can better keep the soil
humidity. But do not exaggerate or it will lose its
uniformity and beauty.
5. Do not cut the grass when it is too wide, avoiding
gaps and burnt aspect. On the other hand,
frequent cuts tend to weaken the nutritious
reserves of the grass, being more susceptible to
noxious weeds and diseases.
6. Another care that should be taken during lawn
mowing is the cutting direction. Try to alternate
cutting direction, avoiding soil compactation.
Soil compactation reduces the oxygen available
for the roots and hampers its normal growth. In
some cases, it may kill the grass. For instance,
if this time you mow the lawn in North-South
direction; the next one should be East-West
direction, and so on.

7. What should be done with the cut remains:
leave it on the lawn or take it away? The avocates
about the grass justify the cut straw gradually
decomposes, it renders back to the soil the
nutrients previously extracted from it. On the
other hand, gathering the straw provides more
aeration and luminosity to the soil, which
are necessary for the development of the
lawn. Besides, with the grass recollected, the
temperature and humidity along with the grass
are lower, reducing the risks of diseases, and
even improving its aspect. With TRAPP grass

8. Avoid mowing the lawn early in the morning,
when there is still a lot of dew on it. Besides
facilitating the appearance of diseases, it is also
inadvisable for the point of view of the operator's
safety.
