A modern or contemporary garden is a garden style characterised by its clean lines, minimalistic design and use of modern materials. The design often features geometric shapes, open spaces and a limited colour palette to create a sleek, sophisticated look. Common elements include concrete or metal planters, minimalist water features and carefully selected plants that provide structure and texture. Modern gardens often incorporate outdoor living spaces, such as patios, decks and seating areas, designed for relaxation and entertainment. The focus is on simplicity, functionality and creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Modern gardens require thoughtful planning and regular maintenance to maintain their clean, uncluttered appearance.

Creating a low-maintenance lawn involves selecting the right grass variety and implementing best practices for care. Choose a drought-tolerant grass species, such as buffalo grass or zoysia, which require less water and are more resistant to pests and diseases. Mow the lawn at the proper height, typically about 5-8 cm, to encourage deep root growth and reduce the need for frequent mowing. Water deeply but infrequently, aiming to provide about 2.5 cm of water per week, either through rainfall or irrigation. Use organic fertilisers to promote healthy soil and grass growth. Apply mulch or ground covers in areas where grass struggles to grow, reducing the need for extensive lawn care. By following these steps, you can create a beautiful, low-maintenance lawn that conserves water and reduces the need for ongoing maintenance.

Common grass types in Australia include Buffalo (shade tolerant), Kikuyu (fast growing, hardy), Couch (sun loving and drought tolerant), Zoysia (low maintenance and durable), Tall Fescue (cool climate), Queensland Blue Couch (drought resistant) and Ryegrass (quick growing). Each suits different conditions like sun, shade, foot traffic or climate adaptability.
