 In Landscaping and Hardscaping

Ornamental grasses add beauty, color, and texture to any landscape. Many of these grasses grow to be tall enough to provide privacy or a clean, organic way to divide property lines. Ornamental grasses are relatively low-maintenance and many of them will last through the fall months, until temperatures reach near freezing overnight. There are so many different types of ornamental grasses that it would be best to speak with a professional in your region to find the right grasses for your landscape. The following grasses are great for most fall landscapes:

Blue Oat Grass is one of the most popular grasses. The dense, blue colored greenery is attractive year round. Blue Oat Grass is not only well suited for mild climates, it is also fairly drought resistant.
