The study was conducted on the premises of Experimental Station for Variety Assessment in Pawłowice near Gliwice. In the study, two types of lawn usage were assessed: the extensive one „park” and moderately intensive „relax”. In the „park” –type use, the expenses related to establishment and maintenance of a lawn are 50% lower. In the moderately intensive use better results are obtained for the following characteristics: generał appearance 40%, sod formation 21%, leaf colour 81%, lower susceptibility to diseases 26% when compared to extensive use. However, the cost of establishment of a lawn in the „relax”-type use is 4.5 times higher than with „park”, and maintenance costs are twice as high.
