Feather grass - a delicate grass that brings life to any garden
Dominika
If you dream of a turnkey garden that looks light, natural and modern at the same time, the ornamental grass Stipa tenuissima is the ideal choice. Its delicate stalks sway gracefully in the wind, bringing movement and elegance to your outdoor space. That is why it is increasingly becoming a part of contemporary garden design, whether in a minimalist urban space or a spacious natural plot.
Why include feather grass in your garden design?
Stipa tenuissima, also known as feather grass, stands out for its undemanding nature and ability to adapt to various conditions. Thanks to its delicate appearance, it combines well with perennials, modern flower beds and other grasses. At Dream Garden, we often recommend it to clients who want a turnkey garden with minimal maintenance and maximum aesthetic effect. This grass creates the impression of a golden veil that changes with every breeze and gives the space a unique atmosphere.
Where to plant feather grass and how to care for it?
It thrives best in sunny, well-drained areas where its natural growth can flourish. It is suitable for modern gardens, dry flower beds and larger containers on the terrace. If you are planning a custom garden, be sure to consider combining feather grass with colourful perennials or other ornamental grasses. When planting a carpet or seeded lawn, it becomes a great addition that breaks up the monotony of the area and highlights the structure of the entire exterior.
Hunter irrigation – guaranteed beauty even in summer
To keep your garden beautiful all year round, it is important to think about irrigation. Hunter automatic irrigation systems, which Dream Garden installs as part of its turnkey garden projects, ensure that Stipa tenuissima and other plants always have enough moisture. Modern Hunter irrigation saves water, time and energy and is indispensable, especially when caring for carpet or sown lawns during hot summer days.

5 reasons to invest in a Hunter automatic irrigation system
Dominika
Are you planning to build a garden, a turnkey garden or a complete turnkey exterior? One of the most important elements for a healthy and beautiful carpet or lawn is quality irrigation – especially during the hot summer months. Hunter automatic irrigation systems are a modern solution that saves time and water and guarantees perfect results. Read the 5 main reasons why it pays to invest in a Hunter system and find out how Dream Garden can provide you with complete implementation and regular service.
1. Healthy and thick lawn throughout the summer
Summer is the most demanding season for your lawn – high temperatures and lack of rainfall can cause it to dry out, turn yellow and thin. Hunter automatic irrigation systems ensure that your turf and seed lawn gets exactly the right amount of water at the right time. Regular and even watering is essential for a thick, green and healthy lawn without yellow patches and weeds.
2. Water savings and environmentally friendly operation
Hunter systems use intelligent sensors and programmable controls that optimize water consumption based on current weather conditions and soil type. This automatically turns off irrigation when it rains or when the soil is sufficiently moist, significantly saving water and money. Modern technologies enable efficient irrigation without waste, which is also important from an environmental point of view.
3. Convenience and time savings
With a Hunter automatic irrigation system, you no longer have to manually water your lawn with a hose or check that you have used the right amount of water. Watering takes place automatically according to a pre-set schedule, even when you are not at home or on vacation. This saves you dozens of hours a year, which you can spend relaxing in your turnkey garden.
4. Precision and flexibility for every turnkey exterior
Hunter offers a wide range of components and accessories that allow for precise irrigation settings for every type of garden, lawn, or flower bed. The system adapts to the size and layout of the property, the type of plants and the specific requirements of the customer. This makes it suitable for small gardens and large turnkey exteriors.
5. Reliability and long service life
Hunter irrigation systems are known for their quality, durability and long service life. The materials used in their manufacture are designed for long-term use in demanding conditions. The system requires minimal maintenance and, if necessary, individual components can be easily replaced or expanded.
The importance of irrigation for a healthy lawn in summer
During the summer, lawns need up to 30-40 liters of water per m² per week, and natural rainfall is often insufficient. Lack of water leads to weakening of the lawn, yellowing and the development of diseases. Hunter automatic irrigation ensures optimal moisture supply in the morning or at night, when water use is most efficient and evaporation is minimized.
Daily temperature °C Dose in mm Frequency of irrigation
36 and more 9 and more several time a day
31 – 35 8 – 9 5 – 6-time a week
26 – 30 6 – 7 4-times a week
21 – 25 4 – 5 3-times a week

If you are planning to create a garden, a turnkey garden or a turnkey exterior, Dream Garden will not only design and install a Hunter automatic irrigation system tailored to your property, but will also provide regular servicing and maintenance. This gives you the assurance that your system will always work reliably and that your carpet or sod lawn will remain in top condition all year round.
How to start planning your garden – step by step
Dominika
Planning a garden is an exciting process that allows you to transform your outdoor space into a place of relaxation, entertainment and beauty. Whether you desire a modern turnkey garden, a functional custom-designed exterior or are simply looking for inspiration for your green paradise, the right approach will save you time, money and worry. In this article, Dream Garden provides you with a clear guide on how to start planning and implementing your garden, including tips on garden design and the use of modern solutions such as Hunter irrigation.
1. Clarify your needs and ideas
The first step is to think about what you want your garden to be used for and what style you prefer. Perhaps you want a space to relax, for children to play, to grow vegetables or a representative exterior tailored to your needs. In addition, consider the needs of your pets or any special requirements for wellness, a swimming pool or a garden gazebo.
2. Analysis of the space and land
Next, it is important to thoroughly analyse the land – its size, shape, orientation, soil and light conditions. At the same time, consider existing features that you want to preserve and identify problem areas that need to be addressed.
3. Setting goals and budget
After analysing the space, clearly define what you want to achieve – whether it is a complete turnkey garden or a gradual transformation in several phases. In addition, set a budget and the main priorities that the garden design should respect.
4. Garden design proposal
Based on the information gathered and your objectives, create a basic concept for the garden.
This can be a simple sketch, mood board or detailed plan divided into individual zones (relaxation, utility, children’s, wellness). The experts at Dream Garden can prepare a visualisation and project documentation that takes into account your ideas and technical possibilities.
5. Selection of style, materials and plants
Decide whether you prefer a modern, natural or rustic style. Choose suitable materials for paved areas, paths, walls and terraces. When choosing plants, consider their requirements, colour and seasonality to ensure that your garden looks attractive all year round.
6. Planning and installing irrigation
Effective irrigation is the basis of a healthy and sustainable garden. Modern automatic systems, such as Hunter irrigation, ensure optimal care for lawns and plantings, save water and minimise your effort. Think about water distribution in the design stage and plan it before planting.
7. Preparatory work and garden implementation
Once the design has been approved, the site is prepared – weeds are removed, the terrain is levelled, the soil is prepared and any construction work on exterior elements is carried out. At this stage, irrigation and electrical wiring for lighting are also installed.
8. Planting and finishing touches
This is followed by the actual planting of plants, laying the lawn, installing garden features, paths, ponds or gazebos. The final touches include decorative elements, lighting and garden furniture to complete the atmosphere of your customised exterior.
9. Maintenance and long-term care
To keep your garden beautiful and functional all year round, don’t forget regular maintenance – mowing, trimming, fertilising, checking Hunter irrigation and seasonal adjustments. Dream Garden also offers regular maintenance services to keep your garden in top shape.
What else is there to say?
Planning and creating a garden is a process that requires a well-thought-out approach, creativity and expertise. With Dream Garden, you get a turnkey garden that is beautiful, functional and exactly what you want – from the initial design to implementation and long-term maintenance.
Don’t forget about high-quality garden design, effective Hunter irrigation and a customised exterior that will be your perfect place to relax and entertain.
