The landscaping scene in Singapore has always been a vastly different and innovative sector compared to the rest of the world. As our island city mostly relies on apartment style housing options, very few have the luxury to have their own full sized garden in Singapore. Yet those who live in HDBs and Condominiums in Singapore still enjoy keeping their own little balcony or window side gardens to add a touch of nature to their homes. And, on the flip side, those lucky ones who own landed properties take a lot of pride in their gardens. They spend tons of money on upkeep and plants to make their gardens look unique and specialised to their liking.
Here at Abundance Landscape, we believe that every good garden starts with a good base. And that base is grass! There are a variety of grasses for one to choose from for their gardens in Singapore. From those more fit for beginners to those that would suit themed gardens like a Zen or Tropical theme. Whatever style of landscape you want to do for your garden though, Abundance has a grass option for you. We even provide personal one-to-one onsite consultations so we walk through the process of purchasing the right sort of grass for your garden. Read on to find out about our selection of grasses below.
There are two variants of carpet grass, the Philippine one and the Japanese one. Get in touch with us to learn which suits your garden.
There are two types of cow grass, one being the bigger two-petalled leaf variant and the other the three-petalled leaf variant. The two-petalled type is used more on slopes or roadsides due to it’s darker colour. The three-petalled variant is used more in landscaping due to it’s lighter and more vibrant colour.
Pearl grass does well in sandy and well drained soil. If your garden is waterlogged after heavy rain, they will be at higher risk of getting fungal infection. For these reasons it is important to make sure your garden’s drainage system is set up properly if you want to use pearl grass. Due to their slow growth, they require little to no mowing. However because they grow so slowly, other seeds blown into your garden can take root easily. You may not need to mow often but if your garden is overly exposed to foreign plant seeds you will need to regularly weed them out. Overall pearl grass is a good option if you intend to set up a covered garden with lots of shady spots and minimum foliage. Great for a playground in the backyard set up as well or a balcony garden.
