Each garden is inherent in its own special appearance. However, it is impossible to imagine that all the space was occupied with flowers, rocks and trees. Individual elements of the garden should be separated from each other. To do this, the best solution is to create a grass lawn. Many, and not without reason, are of the opinion that a lawn should take most of the area of the garden.

Let us start with definitions: the lawn - it is part of the soil, forming a dense turf with cereals. Surface of the lawn grass should be cut regularly. Then it will be smooth and withstand trampling. Thus, the main properties of the lawn - a smooth surface, dense homogeneous turf resistance to trampling and, of course, aesthetics.

Planting a lawn - it is not even half the battle. The main thing - its care, as well, for the other elements of the garden. Only if all the conditions you are entitled to expect high-quality lawn that will delight not only you but also your children and grandchildren. Here are some types of work required for lawn care, without which it is impossible to get a first-class lawn:

• Regular grooming of laid turf(at least 20-30 times per season);


• Regular watering;


• Trimming lawn edges;


• Fertilising each season in the spring or early summer;


• Sweeping lawn with special rakes;


• Destruction of discarded pieces of worms of the earth;


• Destruction of weeds and moss, as they become available;


• Lawn aeration piercing;


• Mulching the soil surface on the lawn;

• Control of the islands of brown grass;


• Rolling lawn, if necessary, lawn roller.

Next, we want to introduce you to the stages of creating a lawn from scratch. There are two basic ways to create a lawn seeding and laying ready-made turf. The advantages of the turf compared to the first are much smaller than the merits. Flooring of turf is justified only in cases where you want to quickly get the lawn surface. Benefits also seeded the lawn clear: this is the choice of suitable soil for the seeds and the guarantee of their quality and, importantly, price.

So, to sow the seed or lay turf, you need to prepare the ground. Stages of site preparation for turf laying are as follows:
