Smooth smooth surface of emerald green, decorating country cottage area, brings joy not only to the owner, but also to everyone around. A perfectly manicured lawn enhances the decorative component of the landscape: beautifully framing flower beds and alpine hills, binds together various design elements. However, not only in beauty are hidden beneficial features lawn.

Half a hectare of green grass can absorb up to 40 tons of dust per year, allowing us to breathe fresh air... An undoubted advantage of the lawn is the increase in humidity, which helps to feel more comfortable in summer heat... Involuntarily, you will think about how to make a lawn in the country with your own hands, that is, without unnecessary expenses, but according to the rules. This is our story.

A beautiful lawn requires a lot of care and attention

Choosing the timing of the arrangement of the green carpet

Spring-summer sowing works are carried out from early May to mid-August. If grass seeds are sown in spring, plant 10-15 percent more seeds per square meter area. The increase leads to active growth of plants and helps to strengthen the lawn in the winter. By artificially creating competition between the shoots, we get the law of the jungle, where the fittest survives, and our lawn becomes beautiful and strong.

Positive aspects of planting in autumn

Sowing seeds in autumn has a number of advantages. If you are thinking of arranging a lawn with your own hands, do it this fall, so that in spring and summer you will not be distracted from the main work in the country. In autumn, the sun reduces its activity and does not threaten planting, but high humidity creates good conditions for successful germination of grass. If you live in the south of Russia, plant seeds in September. Warm rain will saturate them with moisture, root system the grass will harden and grow.

Residents middle lane it is worth postponing the planting of the lawn in the fall until November. The seeds trapped in the frozen soil will calmly overwinter and sprout in early spring, then, as having been planted in September, they would have got wet or, having hatched, would not have withstood the first frost. The advantage of the November sowing is the cold hardening of the seeds. The snow that melts in the spring will give them moisture, the rested earth will support them, the pests are still sleeping, and you will get a magnificent lawn.

You can plant a lawn in both spring and autumn.

Negative circumstances of the autumn planting

Considering the cons autumn planting, you should remember about the vagaries of the weather. If November turns out to be abnormally warm, the grass will begin to grow, then frost will hit, and, unable to withstand the unexpected drop in temperature, it will die. In addition, a large amount of melt water in the spring can wash off the crops, which will lead to the formation of annoying bald spots in the smooth surface of the green carpet. Considering the above factors, the number seed needs to be increased. It is a mistake to plant seeds in the winter on an area with a slope, where there is a high risk of losing them after melt water melts.

Choosing seeds for your lawn

For an elite-class parterre lawn requiring special care use bluegrass and fescue. Plants of these species have a rich green color and dense growth. If you intend to walk on a green carpet, it is better not to sow the named representatives of the flora, they do not take walks well and quickly die. Ordinary lawns are sown with different varieties of bent grass, which tolerate stress quite well. The choice of lawn grass is wide, and we have prepared a special article on this topic.

Lawn seeds are a mixture of herbs for various purposes.

Lawns are different

Types of flowering lawns

The family of flowering lawns is represented by three types: meadow, Moorish and non-grass. All three types are based on cereals, but they are not the only ones used in the design. To ensure flowering for the entire growing season, cereals are supplemented with annual and perennial flowering plants. The species names are related to the composition of the vegetation that will cover them.

Meadow flowers

This type of lawn is a version of a cultivated meadow, harvested from plants measured in a strictly defined ratio. Grains coexist in it with clover, daisy, chamomile, yarrow, loosestrife and a number of other decorative deciduous and flowering plants. No matter how many flowering plants are included in the composition, the main role is played by the grass. Different periods of flowering of plants enhance the decorative qualities of a meadow carpet, each time changing its palette.

Often it is impractical to mow a refined meadow; it is enough 1-2 times for the whole season to renew the growth. With proper watering, perennials grow quickly and restore their decorative qualities.

Moorish ornament

Moorish lawn does not require a haircut

For the Moorish look, take annual plants that do not involve a haircut. The dominant role is given to flowers; cereals are represented by a smaller composition and undersized species. It is desirable that flowering plants had a long flowering period. You can plant species such as matiola, cornflower, large-flowered flax, poppy seed, calendula, escholzia. Moorish style v landscape design always distinguished by lush flowers, he does not change himself when creating a lawn.

Growing a non-grassy lawn with your own hands is a difficult and long-term business. It consists of ground cover plants, the seedlings of which are expensive, to grow by ourselves for a long time, but simply sow in open ground- a waste of time. A non-grass lawn is cultivated for several years, starting with planting a small amount. Then they wait for the plants to grow, and only then begin to form a beautiful green meadow. For a summer residence, where every square meter is in demand, a non-herbal look is wasteful and impractical.

A non-grass lawn requires a long growing time

Types of grass lawns

When evaluating a grassy lawn, a layman is unlikely to notice the difference between one species and another. The grass is green everywhere, somewhere there are differences in shades, nothing more. However, a professional will unequivocally determine which green "carpet" you can safely walk on, and which will not tolerate such an attitude. In addition, the types grass lawns subdivided according to sowing rates and care characteristics.

Garden and park meadow

If you are first thinking about how to make a lawn in the country with your own hands, stop at the landscape gardening variety. Composed of unpretentious varieties of cereals with tough stems, it is resistant to shade and sunlight, and grows without problems on poor soils.

Garden and park lawns are used for arranging the area near the house, swimming pools, patios, recreation areas, since they are very resistant to trampling. The species is easy to care for, does not require frequent weeding, easily covers the defects made during the device.

Sports track

The main requirement for a sporty look is resistance to mechanical stress. For sowing, a mixture of ordinary cereals is used, which includes special varieties of herbs. The decorative qualities of this option are not the best, since its purpose is a playground. Application special types plants increases the cost of such a mixture of herbs, complicates care, but it is optimal for arranging the territory of a playground, a place near a swing.

Playground lawn must be resistant to trampling

Parterre lawn or English velvet

The most expensive and whimsical view to create. Herbs for him are chosen growing only on fertile soils. The vegetation of the parterre lawn is demanding to care for, does not tolerate shading, likes to be in sight, under the sun. Created for enthusiastic contemplation, it does not tolerate walking on it and belongs to exclusively decorative objects. Luxurious, well-groomed, noble, with a real English character, it evokes admiration and respect for the owners who can afford such decoration of the landscape.

If there is a place in your garden where the grass grows by itself, then you already have a fairly pretty and low-maintenance lawn. It is called natural because the owners are only required to cut what nature has grown. The only thing to do is delete too high views plants. This view does not bear much decorativeness, but it will turn out to be a cute green lawn. If you wish, you can occasionally cut and undersow. Perhaps in speed you will have a desire to make adjustments to the creativity of nature, but then you will not have a natural look, but something else.

Forbs from wild plants can be considered a lawn

Stops on the way to the beautiful lawn

Having decided on the type of natural carpet, we will deal with the question of how to make a lawn correctly. Step by step guide to create a green lawn consists of several stages. Consider a list of them:

Soil preparation, including improving soil fertility, adjusting for acidity, removing weeds.
Sowing of certain varieties of grass, adherence to the irrigation regime.
First haircut. After the vegetation reaches the required height, it should be trimmed.
Continuous grooming activities and periodic haircuts.

Conducting all these activities will help to have personal plot beautiful and well-groomed green carpet. Of course, you will need to monitor the moisture content of the soil, destroy weeds, feed the cultivated vegetation, and sow bald spots if they appear. Purposefully dealing with your creation, you will provide it with a proper look.

Preparing the soil for our lawn

The basis of the lawn, on which the whole "structure" rests, is the soil. A step-by-step check begins with determining its fertility. If you get loam or clay, the grass will not grow on them. What to do? Remove 15-20cm of the top layer and fill in the resulting pit fertile soil... We eliminate unevenness in the relief by carefully leveling the surface.

How to carry out the alignment is described in the article. It is advisable to give the decorative object a slope of 1 cm so that storm water does not stagnate on it.

We are waiting for the weeds to hatch, remove them manually or apply herbicides. At the same time, we clean the surface of small stones, remnants of roots, debris, so that they do not interfere with the development of the root system of our plants.

If pesticides were used against weeds, it is necessary to wait several weeks, during which the grass cannot be sown. When all the preliminary work with the soil is completed, we sow the vegetation.

Checking the earth for acidity

Lawn grasses love neutral soils and grow well on them. To check the acidity of your soil, buy a special kit in the store. It includes a litmus test, which is placed on the ground and waited for it to change color. The acidity index is determined according to the scale indicated on the package. High acidity at home is reduced by adding lime to the soil, if the soil is alkaline, crushed peat is used, which is scattered over the surface. To arrange a grass carpet in a lowland, you should take care of a drainage system, otherwise the lawn will turn into a swamp.

Simple devices for checking the acidity of the soil

Compacting the soil for the seeds

Compaction of the soil is done before planting the seeds. The operation prepares the ground for planting grass and helps to detect remaining defects before final completion of the ground work. The tamping roller can be made by yourself from a piece of pipe - asbestos or metal. A rod is threaded inside the impromptu skating rink, and a rope is tied at its ends. If pits and humps appear during tamping, they should be leveled manually, then rolled again. To obtain an ideal surface, you can level the area with the edge of a flat board by dragging it along the surface of the allotment.

The right fertilizer solution

If, when laying the lawn, they brought in new land, then additional fertilization of the soil is not required. In other cases, if you want to get a luxurious, perfectly green and even lawn, take care of plant feeding. Fertilizers can be applied at different stages of the lawn arrangement.

For rapid growth fertilizing herbs are applied:

after you have filled the place under the lawn with new soil, but have not yet raked it over it;
dry fertilizers can be mixed with seeds;
when watering the soil, fertilizers are diluted in water.

It is easy to find out what fertilizers you need. Knowing the composition of the soil and the type of planted grass, you can find information in the instructions for the finished fertilizers.

By using special fertilizers, you can improve the quality of the grass on the lawn

Planting grass

All work with the land and the place is over, the long-awaited moment comes when it's time to plant lawn grass... The top layer must be slightly loosened with a rake and only then sow the grass. For the convenience of work, the seeds are poured into a bucket, grab a handful and sprinkle them through your fingers onto the prepared soil, trying to guide your hand evenly. If grandfather's method Doesn't suit you, build a homemade seeder. Take plastic bottle, make a lot of holes in it, here's a seeder for you.

Calculation of the number of seeds and the fineness of sowing

You will not have to calculate the consumption of seeds yourself, as a rule, all the information is spelled out on the package. However, you need to know the area of the plot allocated for the lawn in order to correctly measure their total number. For uniform distribution sowing material, the seeds should be split into two parts and first go through the area in one direction, and then perpendicular to the first. Following sowing, the seeds are covered with earth or sand:

They pass over the surface with a rake, trying to cover the seeds with the earth. There is a risk that not everything will be covered, and birds will bite them, and bald spots will appear on the lawn.
Sprinkle the crops with the remnants of the brought earth or sand. The thickness of the new layer is 3-5mm.

Seeds can be sprinkled with earth

For sowing a large-scale object, hydroseeding is used, when the entire seed mixture is poured into special equipment. The device sprays seeds evenly under strong pressure. A small lawn can be sown with a hand sprayer. After such sowing, the topsoil layer after 2 hours is covered with a hardened crust, preventing the blowing of the seed by the wind and preventing the birds from pecking it up.

Watering and waiting

They covered the ground, tamped it down, sowed the grass, now everything needs to be watered. Watering should be moderate so as not to overmoisten the soil and prevent it from drying out. The stream of water during irrigation should come out in thin streams. If operating by hand, attach a nozzle to the hose. Sprinklers are used for automatic watering. The first shoots should be expected in a week. Do not expect a solid overgrowth, because the herbal mixture consists of grass with different germination periods.

This is what the result of all the work looks like.

It will take about 25 days, and the grass will rise to 20cm. It's time to mow. When mowing for the first time, the grass is cut in such a way that a growth of 5 cm in height remains. Experience shows that this height is optimal for rapid development... When the plants grow back to 10-12cm, they should be pruned to 3-3.5cm, forming the final appearance of the lawn. Now all that remains is to monitor the growth, cut and water on time.

The meadow, which is distinguished by velvet grass, is able to create a certain atmosphere throughout the site. Emerald hues can define a design by combining colors, tracks and alpine slides...

The surface must be flat

The first steps have already been described above. You will need to find a suitable site, collect debris, remove weeds and fertilize it. If there is a need for this, it will be necessary to make a drainage and irrigation system. After that, proceed to leveling the place. The site should not have holes or hills. If all this is available, then dig up the soil several times. To level it, it is worth using a rake. Before planting, compact the soil using planks or a roller. It is not difficult to make it using a pipe cut for these purposes.

The choice of grass must be approached thoroughly.

For planting, using a rake with fine teeth. Sowing must be perpendicular, first along, and then across the site. Divide all seeds in half. Mix each of them with sand. Then start sowing. If the area is huge, use special drills. The sowing depth should not be great - no more than a centimeter. Due to this, the germination of seeds can be increased. There are a huge number of different types of grass. They differ in color, appearance and demanding care. It is recommended to carefully approach the choice of mixtures, guided by the site. You can use the help of consultants specialized stores.

Watering and lawn care

Using a rake, stir the seeds with top layer soil. After sowing, the soil should be tamped using a roller. This will improve the conditions for grass germination. In addition, the seeds can be protected from attacks from birds and the wind. After sowing, the area should be watered. It is recommended to do this carefully and carefully. As soon as the first entrances appear, the site should be watered regularly.

You just have to use roll coating... This is a special mesh with turf 5 cm thick. It is rolled up. In this form, it must be transferred to the installation site. Previously, the site must be prepared using the methods described above. It is necessary to get rid of weeds, fertilize the soil, level the place. These operations will help prevent air from forming between the ground and the pavement. Spread the lawn around the area, roll it with a roller and water thoroughly. After all the actions done, you will get an even, stable coating with a rich green color. Such lawns are distinguished by the fact that the grass grows on them much faster than sowing. It is possible to use this method of forming a glade if the coverage is required to be obtained in the shortest possible period of time.

It is necessary to decorate the lawn. What do the reviews say?

The lawn occupies a rather important position in For this reason, it is necessary to ensure that it harmoniously fits into the design. Consider this point if you want to answer the question of how to make a lawn in the country with your own hands. Feedback from people who have already created glades on their plots showed that additional design is needed. And it is best to use bulk materials for these purposes. The most popular are colored pebbles, granite crushed stone of a fine fraction and which can differ in different shades.

Do you need to make a lawn in the country with your own hands? In the spring, you can plant coniferous shrubs and a variety of flowers. As the reviews have shown, by the middle of summer you will already have a very beautiful meadow. You can also display potted greenhouse plants. Against the background of green grass, they will look dignified. Benches, various figures of gnomes or other heroes from fairy tales will be a great addition. Why not decorate your lawn with flower beds? It is too good idea... European design can be obtained through rural paraphernalia. For example, you can use wooden benches, cars with flowers, various garden sculptures... Remember that only a neat and well-groomed lawn can demonstrate the good taste of the owner of the site.

The fun process of creating a lawn

In this review, an answer was provided to the question of how to make a lawn in the country with your own hands. You saw a photo of what this process looks like and what result can be obtained while reading the review. They are able to demonstrate better than any words the beauty that the site will receive. But there are no difficulties in the process of creating a lawn as such. Everything will depend on how much you want to decorate your site. I wish you the best in this creative and fun process.

I offer you to make a flowering meadow using the quilling technique, which will certainly become an adornment of Your room or any exhibition.

Do it better together with friends. Agree, making a clearing is both more fun and much faster!

Therefore, go ahead!

In order to make a flowering meadow, you will need:

Multi-colored paper,

Quilling tool, awl or needle,

Quilling board (optional) ...

...and:

PVA glue,

Tracing paper (transparent paper),

Watercolor paints,

Balloon,

Green cardboard.

We make flowers

We take strips of paper color pink the length 58 cm, width 1cm and roll them into tight rolls on a quilling board. These are blanks for our flowers. Let the roll unwind a little and glue the ends of the strips to the very rolls.

Then we make petals from them, squeezing them on one side with our fingers.

We glue the petals of the flowers. We make the middle from acrylic droplets, or paper. You can, for example, take a strip of 1.5 x 10 cm and make small transverse cuts on it - a fringe.

Then roll it up, straighten the fringe and glue it inside the flower.

From strips of green paper 28 cm long, 1 cm wide, we make the same rolls as for the petals, but we squeeze them on both sides - these are leaves.

Making a butterfly

What is a flower meadow without a butterfly? So let's make this cute beauty.

We need strips of paper different colors(purple, pink and white) 3 mm wide. Choose the length at your discretion, in accordance with the size of the butterfly.

Glue the individual strips into one and make a roll out of it. Squeeze one side and glue as shown. Repeat the same steps three more times. it future butterfly wings... But remember that two the front should be slightly larger rear.

Let's deal with the butterfly body... We take pink strips and twist them into rolls using special tool for quilling, awl or needle. We make spiral cones of the same diameter from them. Glue the ends of the figure from the inside.

We glue the cones with pink stripes.

These are the details that should turn out..

It remains to make only the antennae. We make them from a strip 1.5 mm wide, to which we glue rolls of the same width.

We insert the antennae into the cone. We glue the details of the butterfly together.

Congratulations! The butterfly is ready!

"And where, in fact, is the glade?"- You will ask. Right now we will start making it.

Making a flower meadow

Inflate the balloon to the right sizes... We tear the tracing paper into pieces and glue it onto the balloon, skipping the place of its binding. We are waiting for the paper to dry well, pop the ball and take it out.

It turned out like this transparent ball.

Paint the ball green using watercolors. We glue flowers and leaves.

From a wide strip of green cardboard we make a stand-cylinder for the ball. To do this, you just need to glue the opposite ends of the strip together.

Don't forget the butterfly. It can be pasted directly onto flower or at nylon insert- then it will seem to fly over the clearing. Often such inserts can be found under the collar of packed men's shirts, which your dad will definitely have.

What a beautiful flowering meadow we have with you!
