Make the garden site beautiful - planting a lawn

In modern society, grass in the garden areas can act not only in the role of weeds, but also as a decoration of the landscape. Smooth lawns not only pleases the eye, but are also pleasant with its softness. Therefore, planting a lawn is so popular nowadays. Of course, part of the design can be grass only certain varieties and under certain conditions. Above the grass grass, as a rule, narrow specialists with experience and skills in this field are engaged. If you want to decorate your site with lawn grass and want to do it yourself, then there are two main ways: to grow grass or buy already grown in rolls. Of course, if the deadlines are tight, and the lawns are already needed, it is easier to buy grown. But if there is time, then it's more pleasant to do it yourself. In this article we will look at how the lawn is planted.

As in all other cases, before you start planting grass on the site, you should first think and prepare everything. We divide this work into three stages and each of them will be analyzed in detail.

Step One - Site Planning

If there is a construction site in the suburban area, it is first worth considering carefully which structures are planned to be built in the future. After all, if the grass is already growing, then hired workers will stamp on it, then your universal lawn will turn into a sad sight. In fact, sowing grass should be the last step in the formation of the entire site as a whole, when everything that is needed has already been built and fixed on the site.

Step two - preparing the soil

So, after planning, when all the pros and cons are weighed, it is necessary to prepare the soil for sowing the grass. It is better to do this in the fall, and plant the grass in spring. The soil needs to be treated to ensure that the grass subsequently grows without surprises as an abundant quantity of weeds of varying heights and colors. We want to get a smooth, green, soft lawn. To do this, it is necessary to clean the soil beforehand of all the weeds, as well as from their roots, which can give an intensive growth with abundant further watering of lawn grass. Clean the soil with special preparations or simply by hand. If the weeds were too many and you foresee an unfavorable outcome in the future, then you can take radical measures - remove the upper 15-cm layer of soil and replace it with a new one. The soil can also be fertilized.

The third step is to plant a lawn

Now the most interesting stage is the sowing of lawn grass.

Before sowing the land should not be dug up, but on the contrary tampered, and then a little loosened up the uppermost layer. After that, you need to water the ground abundantly with water so that it soaks not only on the surface. How to sow lawn grass?

We mix the seeds well, since they come in different sizes, and we sow them evenly on the surface of the plot. You need to do this in a dry, windless weather. On the edges of the site and along the tracks it is necessary to sow more densely than on the rest of the surface. After the seeds are distributed around the site, they need to be compacted into the ground.

With the cultivation of grass, the main thing is timely irrigation. Watering is necessary at a certain time and in the right amount. It is better to do this in the evening and so that no puddles form. During periods of severe drought it is worth watering during the day more than once.

Planting a lawn is not a difficult process, however, requiring patience. But then, enjoying the beauty of your site, it will not be a pity for the forces expended on him.
