It is noticed that the plot without a green lawn carpet is similar to an apartment without a floor covering. The bright and juicy main background of the lawn emphasizes the whole charm of a private house and plot. The light and spatial structure of the plot only benefits from this. But the device of the lawn is considered a labor-intensive process, requiring attention and basic knowledge in the creation.

Which lawn can be created on the site
The appearance in our latitudes of a lawn in a country house or in a private plot is due to the French, who artfully created land plots with a grass cover in their time. The first French lawns had an attractive view of the grass cover from ryegrass, bluegrass and bent grass.
Today groomed short-cut lawn is no longer a curiosity. Moreover, it is the most popular element of landscape design. Any lawn on the site is a kind of stabilizer of the water soil regime: it moistens the air and knocks down the hot temperature.
There are many types of lawn areas:
- classical
- moorish lawn
- gardening
- sports
- roll
- wild.
Naturally, the technology of planting and the percentage of sowing grass for the lawn gives its characteristics of the territory, including wear resistance. However, the cost of building lawns, for example parkers, is high. Therefore, when you build a green lawn, you need to study the technology of sowing and grooming with your own hands.
Helpful Tips
Before starting and implementing the idea of a lawn, it does not hurt to know in detail the composition of the seed for the lawn or to choose the right roll type of coating. For any type of lawn will have to constantly care for and trim the vegetation, otherwise the grass can simply zakolositsya. Recall that lawn grass is a perennial plants, which means that it will be necessary to worry about the conditions of their wintering.
We on the lawn - how to become an agrarian
The most primitive variant of becoming an agrarian is the purchase of a roll lawn. It will be enough to buy a lawn and put it in the agreed place.
But nothing can compare with the pleasure of planting a lawn. So, we have a classic parterre and Moorish lawn on the lawn.
Create a classic parterre lawn will require preparatory work and careful selection of seeds. Recall that for the device of the ground area choose the best and proven varieties of low-growing herbs. For the parterre lawn suitable herbs with stunted and thin shoots and leaves. The period of growth of grasses should be long, capable to form uniformity of grass stand with one-color color from spring and to deep autumn.
Let's tell, that the best grassy cover grows from ryegrass of high pasture. The narrow-leafed grasses of the field and the bluegrass have silky grass blades that, in mass with their formed and shorn edges, distinguish the corral from all other types.
Care for this type of lawn should be intense: haircut and again haircut.
Unlike the classic English lawn, which requires constant cutting of herbs, the most unpretentious is
moorish lawn. The first nomads - the Moors from North Africa, introduced in European countries the custom of sowing empty lands with mixed herbs. A simple meadow at the time of flowering is magically transformed.
Moreover, the composition of herbs and flowers of the Mauritanian lawn is chosen on personal preference, the main thing is that the planting material should take root in this natural zone.
The basis of the background of the Mauritanian lawn is low grasses from the bentgrass, ryegrass and meadow bluegrass. The composition of the mixture is dozens of beautifully flowering plants of short form. Care of the lawn (undercutting and shearing) ensure the uniformity of the grass carpet.
Helpful Tips
Did you know that of the thousands of known varieties of herbs for man-made lawn use only a few species? These are mixtures consisting of 3-6 kinds of grasses with almost the same vegetative growth period. Mixture I recommend to select by soil, the place of sowing and the selected type of lawn. A well-chosen mixture will provide a green carpet from the spring to the first frost. If you, of course, will plant a lawn on technology.
Sun, air and water, the main friends of the lawn
The abundance of various types of green lawns is provided by the developed technology of lawn construction, which is based on the principle: "The sun, air and water are the main friends". Exaggerated, caring for the lawn is reduced to watering and mowing.
Watering any lawn is recommended abundantly, it becomes even more beautiful from this. But to mow the lawn from sowing grasses at the initial stage of growth is not recommended. It is necessary that the coating has the power of juicy stems. When the grass stand is 7-10 cm high, you can slowly start to mow.
Seed turf technology
Traditionally, the sowing lawn is grown on flat terrain.
The preparation of the soil of the lawn sowing device is carried out in several stages:
- digging a site to create a fluffy soil layer
- weed removal during the digging process
- alignment of a dug out ground
- tamping, excluding soil subsidence.
After the preparation of the site, a sowing campaign is carried out, which is carried out in the spring. During this period of the year the soil is not yet weather-beaten and contains a sufficient amount of moisture.
The seeds can be inserted in the device of sowing lawns manually or by using a manual seeder.
The norm of a single sowing of the herbal mixture is up to 40 gr per 1 sq. M of lawn.
The introduction of seeds into the soil is preferable to produce in dry, windless weather.
How to create a seed lawn, shown here.
However, the emergence of new original technologies for growing lawns attracts the attention of the owners of suburban areas.
We arrange a lawn with the use of a lawn grate
The lawn grate is a simple modular honeycomb structure made of strong plastic or concrete. Modules have a movable structure connected by a latch.
The lawn grating has:
- insignificant weight and dimensions, allowing it to be easily transported
- a simple construction, the installation of which is carried out by hand
- no less simple way of servicing with the use of garden tools (lawn mowers, trimmers and gasoline pumps)
- ecological design.
The grid is stacked in rows or in staggered order, connecting individual modules. To give curvilinear forms of bending and contouring, a traditional cutting and cutting tool is used.
The grid cells are filled with a seed mixture in 2 stages: before planting and after sieving. Moreover, the level of the substrate to be filled in height must coincide with the edge of the lattice.
How to install a lawn grate
Stages of installation of the grid:
- preparation of the site up to the recommended depth of installation (9-12 cm)
- tamping of soil in a cavity by any means
- laying of an underlying (bearing) layer of gravel and soil
- basement tamper
- placement of lattice cells and connection of modules (modules stack in the direction from left to right)
- stacking of soil and its uniform distribution on an installed grid
- anchoring the edges of the grill
- seeding of the lattice into cells by a seed mixture.
