有水积著(不踩上去的话, 就算近看, 也不会察觉有点muddy, 但一踩上, 挺muddy的 ),

我这本来发表在家居版, 后来看到这版, 就来这请教一下, 因为我有问题的不是房子本

我的问题是, 如果长年这么积著水的草坪, 是不是就不会看起来这么青葱翠绿, 而是会
有点苔癣moss什么的, 甚至老是这么积水, 是不是草可能就死了, 那么, 我可以假设,
除非这是新种的草坪,我看不出来, 如果它是几年的草坪,"看"起来是乾净乾爽的, 表示
积水只是偶然?
我提这问题是因为,我担心它前院的积水问题是常态, 屋主或许刚弄个草坪来忽悠我

三十万一定是推倒重建。想你四五十万买的小烂房,不用告诉我它有多小多恶心,但它
