Grass seams before and after


otterine

The grass mat is Savannah TuftGrass by Heki from Scenery Express. I had to piece the grass mat together in many places, so I saved every corner and edge removed from the larger sheets. I used these scraps to fill in areas where the grass sheets met the house and each other. If you look to the left, you can see it wasn't always seamless.

I learned while doing the mossy roof that if you have something that sticks out and could be mistaken for sloppy work instead of a planned aesthetic, often the best solution is to draw more attention to it.

I used Late Summer Goldenrod Weeds "Silflorettes" by MiniNatur as well as Extra Long Autumn Tufts "Silflorettes" by MiniNatur -- little clumps of grass material that you apply individually to fill in here and there -- to address a few of the problem areas. The autumn tones coordinate perfectly with the grass mat while looking like a different sort of weed grass. Your eye is drawn to these plants and not to the bare patches and inconsistent seams between the grass sheets. :D

Thanks! :D I hear ya on the squirreling away of landscaping supplies. When I order from them, I think, "Well, I have to spend the shipping price anyway...just load up the cart." :lol:
