Any event on the arrangement of the site or the landscape requires planning and preparation.And seeding the lawn is no exception.Not only know how to plant lawn grass, it is also important to observe the rules of preparation.So, describe the process step by step.

Step one - Planning section

Unfortunately or fortunately - without planning in our business can not do.First you need to think over all, even the smallest aspects of landscape design and break the area into sections.After all, part of the garden fence or natural stone make the alpine hill is better before planting lawns, otherwise lush green trample workers in the construction of landscape elements.

In addition, planning will intelligently combine the elements of landscape design together.After all, they have to create a coherent, complete picture and not be scattered in the garden area, right?

Step Two - Soil preparation

At this stage, you need to take care of that land was clean, last year's leaves, and various debris.But it should be particularly careful to clear the land of weeds, and not only on their stems at the soil surface, but also from the roots.

Imagine the situation: today you vypololi all the grass, mow all the weeds, and a week later, when you begin to water the lawn often, these weeds will be active - will climb out of the ground at such a rate that you will undertake his head.

fact as a result of planting grass we want to get a beautiful lawn with a monochromatic green embroidery, not the edge of the forest with different-sized plants of different heights and different shades ranging from yellow and ending with red and blue.

to clean the soil from weeds is desirable to treat its herbicides, take, for example, Roundup drug (better handling exercise in the autumn, and planted grass - in the spring).If the suspected lawn completely "hammered" the weeds, the experts offer a more radical way - remove the top layer of soil (about 15 cm) and cover new ground in his stead.

course, for the lush vegetation and good grass growth before planting is better to make fertilizer, you can take the same mold.And you can do without fertilizer.

Step Three - sowing grass

After all the preparatory work is finished, we got to the most important - very sowing grass .

not dig up the soil before planting.If you want to get a really uniform green velvet surface, it is necessary to compact the ground to such an extent that it was possible for her to walk.And just before planting, simply walk through the rake and fluff the top layer of the earth (if caught roots - certainly they should be removed).

In our example, we make "lawn" of land under fruit trees.We wish to get a little green oasis in the concrete track.
