The article examines the functions and distinctive attributes of turfgrass species. in landscape reclamation, particularly under the influence of rising temperatures, irregular precipitation, and increased weather extremes in the Podillya region. It shows that lawns are an essential component of landscape architecture and green construction. These lawns serve multiple purposes, including enhancing aesthetics, contributing to ecological balance, and providing recreational spaces. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding how climate change impacts the use and maintenance of lawn grasses to ensure their continued functionality and benefits in urban and rural landscapesThe Poaceae family, a significant group within the World Flora, consists of approximately 11,000 species, with 420 species commonly found in Ukraine. This family is notable for its adaptability and suitability in landscape reclamation efforts. The experimental field studies took place in Podillya Botanical Garden, which is part of the VNAU. The focus of the research was the botanical garden itself, situated on reclaimed land surrounding. The research focuses specifically on examination various grass species, including meadow fescue (Poa pratensis L.), red fescue (Festuca rubra L.), common ryegrass (Agrostis tenuis), creeping ryegrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.), perennial ryegrass, pasture and English ryegrass (Lolium perenne), as well as crested ryegrass (Agropyron cristatum L.). The evaluated species demonstrate remarkable growth and adaptability to the distinct environmental conditions of the botanical garden. They are highly versatile across a range of planting scenarios and under varying water and light regimes. These plants are well-suited for diverse applications, including group and solitary arrangements, flower beds, mixborders, borders, rockeries, and rocky gardens. Additionally, they are ideal for specialized landscaping projects such as Japanese gardens, mono-gardens, and other creative planting designs. Their adaptability and aesthetic appeal make them excellent choices for enhancing both traditional and modern garden landscapes. Meadow fescue (Poa pratensis L.) has proven to be a highly adaptable and valuable grass species, demonstrating exceptional winter hardiness and resistance to trampling. This species offers significant ecological and economic benefits, including its decorative appeal, anti-erosion properties, and utility as fodder. In the second year of vegetation, lawn grasses demonstrated different rates of linear growth in height, which is due to their biological characteristics, nutritional conditions and ecological adaptability. Observations confirmed that during this period most species were stably restored after the winter period, gradually forming a dense grass cover. The most rapid rates of growth were reached in July, regardless of the species. Thus, red fescue grew up to 98 cm, common broomrape – up to 80 cm, comb ryegrass – up to 65 cm, meadow fescue – up to 61 cm, and creeping broomrape – up to 30 cm. In addition, data are provided on the economic efficiency of creating and maintaining lawns on the territory of the reclaimed landscape near the Temple of the Ecumenical Teachers and Saints. Consequently, it is mentioned that the overall expense of maintaining a lawn at 2025 prices will be 2,557 UAH per 100 m², while the costs of creating 100 m² reach 5,512 UAH.
