Step 01: Set a Lawn Material

First, choose a woodland material and apply it onto the model surface.


Stretch its UV to get a dense look.


Step 02: Paint Grass Models

Then, choose a grass model to fill the lawn with the 'Scatter' tool.

Repeat the step on another kind of higher, greener grass.


Remove a bit of the lawn randomly with the Eraser tool.


You can also add some scattered fallen leaves.


Step 03: Add Decorative Plants

Place some shrubs along the edge.

And intersperse some in the middle.

A tall tree at the foreground will make the scene look more layered.
