The smooth expanse of emerald greenery decorating a summer cottage gives joy not only to the owner, but also to everyone around. Perfectly groomed lawn strengthens the decorative component of the landscape: beautifully frames flowerbeds and alpine slides, connects various design elements together. However, not only beauty conceals the beneficial properties of the 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 the 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

Choose the timing of the green carpet

Spring-summer sowing is carried out from early May to mid-August. If grass seeds are sown in spring, 10-15 percent more seeds per square meter should be planted. The increase leads to the active growth of plants and helps strengthen the lawn in the winter. Artificially creating competition between the shoots, we get the law of the jungle, where the strongest survive, and our lawn becomes beautiful and strong.

The positive aspects of planting in the fall

Autumn sowing seeds has several advantages. If you are planning to make a lawn with your own hands, take care this fall so that in the spring and summer you will not be distracted from the main work in the country. In autumn, the sun decreases its activity and does not threaten planting, and increased humidity creates good conditions for the successful germination of grass. If you live in southern Russia, plant seeds in September. A warm rain will saturate them with moisture, the root system will strengthen and the grass will grow.

Residents of the middle lane should postpone lawn planting until November. Seeds that have fallen into frozen soil will calmly overwinter and germinate in early spring, whereas if planted in September, they would be soaked or, having hatched, would not withstand the first frosts. The advantage of November sowing is the hardening of seeds with cold. Snow melting in the spring will bring them moisture, rested earth will support them, pests are still sleeping, and you will get a magnificent lawn.

You can plant a lawn in spring and autumn

Negative circumstances of the autumn landing

Considering the disadvantages of autumn planting, one should remember the vagaries of the weather. If November turns out to be abnormally warm, the grass will begin to grow, then frost will strike, and, unable to withstand the unexpected drop in temperature, it will die. In addition, a large amount of meltwater in the spring can wash away the crops, which will lead to the formation of annoying bald spots in the surface of the green carpet. Given the above factors, the amount of seed must be increased. It is a mistake to plant seeds in the winter in a sloping area, where there is a high risk of losing them after melt water.

Choosing seeds for the lawn

For a parterre lawn belonging to the elite class and requiring special care, bluegrass and fescue are used. Plants of these species have a rich green color and dense shoots. If you intend to walk on a green carpet, it is better not to plant these representatives of the flora, they poorly perceive walking and die quickly. Ordinary lawns are sown with different varieties of bark, which tolerate loads well enough. The choice of lawn grass is wide, and on this subject we have prepared a special article.

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 species: meadow, Moorish and non-grassy. The basis of all three species is cereals, but not only they are used in the design. To ensure flowering for the entire growing season, cereals are supplemented by annual and perennial flowering plants. The names of the species 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 collected from plants, measured in a strictly defined ratio. Cereals 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, the main role is given to grass. Different periods of flowering plants enhance the decorative qualities of the meadow carpet, each time changing its palette.

Often mowing an ennobled meadow is impractical, 1-2 times during the whole season is enough to renew the overgrowth. With proper watering, perennials quickly grow and restore their decorative qualities.

Moorish ornament

Moorish lawn does not require mowing

For the Moorish species, annual plants are taken that do not require 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 have a long flowering period. You can plant species such as matiola, cornflower, large-color flax, self-poppy, calendula, eschscholzia. The Moorish style in landscape design is always distinguished by pompous flowering; it does not change itself when creating a lawn.

Growing an grassy lawn with your own hands is a complex and long-term business. It consists of ground cover plants, the seedlings of which are expensive, to grow for a long time, and just to sow in open ground is a waste of time. A non-grass lawn has been cultivated for several years, starting with planting a small amount. Then they wait until the plants grow, and only then they begin to form a beautiful green meadow. For summer cottages, where every square meter is in demand, non-grassy species is wasteful and inappropriate.

Non-grassy lawn requires long growing times

Types of Grass Lawns

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

Garden meadow

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

Landscaping lawns are used to equip the territory near the house, pools, patios, recreation areas, since they are very resistant to trampling. The view is easy to care for, does not require frequent weeding, and easily covers defects made during installation.

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 platform for games. The use of special types of 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.

The lawn for the playground must be resistant to trampling

Ground lawn or English velvet

The most expensive and moody look to create. Herbs are chosen for him growing only on fertile soils. The vegetation of the ground grass is demanding care, does not tolerate shading, loves to be in sight, under the sun. Created for enthusiastic contemplation, he does not tolerate walks on it and refers to exclusively decorative objects. Luxurious, well-groomed, noble, with a true English character, he evokes admiration and respect for the owners who can afford such a decoration of the landscape.

If in your garden there is a place where the grass grows by itself, then you already have a pretty pretty lawn that does not require much maintenance. It is called natural because the owners are only required to cut what nature has grown. The only thing to do is to remove too tall plant species. This view does not bear much decorativeness, but a nice green lawn will turn out of it. If you wish, you can sometimes cut and sow. Perhaps in speed you will have a desire to make adjustments to the creativity of nature, but then you will not form a natural look, but already something else.

Forbs from wild plants can be considered a lawn

Stops on the way to a beautiful lawn

Having decided on the type of natural carpet, we will understand the question of how to make a lawn. A step-by-step guide to creating a green lawn consists of several steps. Consider their list:

Soil preparation, including improving soil fertility, acidity adjustment, weed removal.
Sowing certain varieties of grass, observing the irrigation regime.
The first haircut. After the vegetation reaches the required height, it should be trimmed.
Permanent care activities and periodic haircuts.

Carrying out all these events will help to have a beautiful and well-groomed green carpet on the plot. Of course, you will need to monitor the moisture of the soil, destroy weeds, feed cultivated vegetation, sow bald spots if they appear. By deliberately engaging in your creation, you will provide it with a suitable look.

Preparing the soil for our lawn

The basis of the lawn on which the entire “structure” rests is the soil. A step-by-step check begins with a determination of its fertility. If you got loam or clay, the grass will not grow on them. What to do? We remove 15-20 cm of the upper layer and fill the formed pit with fertile soil. The unevenness of the relief is eliminated by carefully leveling the surface.

How to align, described in the article It is desirable to give a decorative object a slope of 1 cm so that storm water does not stagnate on it.

We wait until the weeds hatch, we remove them manually or apply herbicides. In parallel, we clean the surface of small pebbles, residual 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 a few weeks, during which the grass cannot be sown. When all the preliminary work with the soil is completed, we sow the vegetation.

We check 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 laid on the ground and waiting for it to change color. Acidity is determined by 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 grass carpet in the lowland, you should take care of the water drainage system, otherwise the lawn will turn into a swamp.

Simple devices for checking soil acidity

We compact the soil for seeds

Tamping the soil is done before planting the seeds. The operation prepares the soil for planting grass and helps to detect remaining defects before the final completion of work with the ground. The compactor can be made from the pipe section itself - asbestos or metal. A rod is threaded inside the makeshift roller, a rope is tied at its ends. If pits and humps appear during tamping, they should be leveled manually, then walk along the ice rink again. To get the perfect surface, you can align the area with the edge of a flat board, dragging it along the surface of the allotment.

The right fertilizer solution

If a new ground was brought in when laying a lawn, then additional fertilizer 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 nutrition. Fertilizers can be applied at different stages of arranging the lawn.

For the rapid growth of grass, fertilizers contribute:

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

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

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

Planting grass

All work with the land and the place is over, the long-awaited moment comes when it is time to plant lawn grasses. The top layer needs to be slightly loosened with a rake and only then sow 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 the grandfather method does not suit you, build a homemade seeder. Take a plastic bottle, make a lot of holes in it, here you have a seeder.

Calculation of the number of seeds and the fineness of sowing

You won’t have to calculate seed consumption yourself, as a rule, all the information is written on the package. However, you need to know the area of \u200b\u200bthe plot allocated for the lawn in order to correctly measure their total number. For uniform distribution of seed, you should break the seeds into two parts and first go through the plot in one direction, and then perpendicular to the first. Following sowing, the seeds are covered with earth or sand:

They pass along the surface with a rake, trying to make the earth cover the seeds. There is a risk that not everything will be covered, and the 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 evenly sprayes the seeds under strong pressure. A small lawn can be seeded with a hand spray. After such a sowing, a frozen crust covers the topsoil after 2 hours, preventing the seed from blowing out in the wind and preventing the birds from pecking it.

Water and expect

They covered the earth, tamped it, sowed grass, now we need to water everything. Watering should be moderate so as not to overmoisten the soil and prevent it from drying out. The flow of water during irrigation should come out in thin streams. If you are working manually, install the nozzle on the hose. When autowatering use sprinklers. The first shoots should be expected in a week. Do not expect continuous growth, because the herbal mixture consists of grass with different periods of germination.

This is the result of all the labors

It will take about 25 days, and the grass will rise to 20cm. It's time to mow. At the first mowing, the grass is cut so that there is a 5cm tall shoot. Experience shows that this height is optimal for rapid development. When the plants grow back to 10-12 cm, they must be cut to 3-3.5 cm, forming the final appearance of the lawn. Now it remains only to monitor the growth, time to cut and water.

Glade, which is distinguished by velvet grass, is able to create a certain atmosphere throughout the site. Emerald shades can define a design by combining colors, paths and alpine slides. How to make a lawn in the country with your own hands? It is within the power of everyone. To create a lawn on your own, you need to understand how to prepare the site on which the meadow will be located. It is important to avoid standard errors during sowing and care.

You can purchase special mixtures.

If you are thinking about forming a lawn in your area, then the place should be sandy or loose. If there is excessive humidity, equip the area with a drainage system. The lack of moisture will negatively affect the crops. To prevent this problem, remove the topsoil and make a pillow using clay. The layer thickness should be 10 cm. How to make a lawn in the country with your own hands? Take care to have a good irrigation system.

Need to get rid of weeds

Remove weeds from the place of the future lawn. Normal weeding will not help. Therefore, you will need to use herbicides. For the application of drugs will use special devices that will spray the funds on the surface of the weeds. The result of such actions will be that all unnecessary plants die in a week. Several procedures may be required. For reprocessing, wait for the emergence of new shoots. How to make a lawn in the country with your own hands? This should be returned only 3 weeks after the last tillage.

If the quality of the soil is not good enough, you can use fertilizers or special means.

What kind of lawn can you create on your site?

Before you make a beautiful lawn in the country with your own hands, you need to decide what dimensions and shape are needed. It should also be imagined which site will have a design. Which can be used in summer cottages?

Ground floor. The most prestigious and beautiful lawn. Know that it is recommended to plant grass on a flat area. Select crops should be carefully. A thorough care is necessary for the lawn, without which it will not last long.
Ordinary. The most common kind of meadow that is included in this type of lawn is unpretentious neither in creation nor in care. In addition, it is characterized by high resistance to trampling. Ordinary lawn is the best option for a family vacation.
Mauritanian. This lawn is also known as a grassy flower. This type should be chosen only if the site is large enough in area. It includes several dozen different varieties of herbs and flowers. In addition, the appearance of the lawn will change throughout the summer.
You can use a rolled lawn. With your own hands in the country, it is quite easy to create such a clearing. And high-quality grass cover will be obtained in the shortest possible time with minimal effort.

The shape of the lawn may vary. The clearing is capable of being even and continuous, representing narrow strips located between different flowerbeds and buildings. The shape can be unusual, curved or curly. Such a lawn is able to fit perfectly into the design of the site. The choice is made for each owner of the cottage or their own home, guided by preferences.

Tools required for work

As soon as absolutely all the nuances are taken into account, you can start creating a lawn in the country with your own hands. Step-by-step instructions do not imply any complex actions. First of all, you need to collect some tools. You will need:

Shovel.
Rake.
Boards. They should be long. Instead, you can use the light roller to compact the ground.
Seeds of those grasses from which the lawn should consist.
Seeder
Watering hose.

Are all tools assembled? We begin to create a lawn in the country with our own hands. Step-by-step instructions will be described later.

The surface must be flat.

The first steps have already been described above. You will need to find a suitable site, collect garbage, remove weeds and fertilize it. If there is a need for this, then a drainage and irrigation system will be required. After that proceed to leveling the place. The site should not have holes or hills. If all this is available, then dig over the soil several times. To level it, it is worth using a rake. Before sowing, tamp the ground using boards or an ice rink. It is not difficult to make it using pipe scrap for these purposes.

The choice of grass must be approached thoroughly

Under landing, using a rake with small cloves. Sow should be perpendicular, first along, and then across the site. Divide all seeds into two parts. Mix each of them with sand. After that, start sowing. If the plot is huge, use special seeders. The sowing depth should not be large - no more than a centimeter. Due to this, it is possible to increase the germination of seeds. There are a huge number of different varieties of grass. They differ in color, appearance and exacting care. It is recommended to carefully approach the selection of mixtures, guided by the site. You can use the help of consultants in specialized stores.

Watering and lawn care

Using a rake, mix the seeds with the topsoil. After sowing, the soil should be compacted using a skating rink. Due to this, the conditions for grass germination will be improved. In addition, the seeds can be protected from attacks from birds and the wind. After sowing, the plot should be watered. It is recommended to do this carefully and accurately. As soon as the first entrances appear, the site should be watered regularly.

Be sure to mow the lawn. This is the main condition for caring for him. It is recommended to carry out a haircut regularly, starting from the moment when the grass reaches 8 cm in height.

A simple option for the lazy

Tormented by the question of how to make a lawn in the country with your own hands? For the lazy, there is an option that is distinguished by minimal effort. You just need to use a roll coating. This is a special mesh with a 5 cm thick turf. It is rolled up. In this form, it must be transferred to the place of installation. Previously, the site must be prepared by the methods described above. It is necessary to get rid of weeds, fertilize the soil, level the place. These operations will help prevent air between the ground and the surface. Lay out the lawn on the site, roll it with a roller and carefully water it. After all the steps done, you will get a smooth, stable coating with a rich green color. Such lawns are distinguished by the fact that grass grows on them much faster than sowing. You can use this method of forming a clearing if you want to get coverage in the shortest possible time.

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

The lawn occupies a fairly 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. The reviews of people who have already created glades on their sites have shown that additional clearance is needed. And it is best to use bulk materials for these purposes. The most popular is colored pebbles, granite crushed stone of a small fraction and which may 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 showed, by the middle of summer you will already have a very beautiful meadow. You can also exhibit greenhouse plants in pots. Against the background of green grass, they will look decent. A great addition will be benches, various figures of gnomes or other heroes from fairy tales. Why not place a lawn with flower beds? This is also a good idea. European design can be obtained using rural paraphernalia. For example, you can use wooden benches, wheelbarrows with flowers, a variety of garden sculptures. Remember that only a neat and well-kept lawn can demonstrate the good taste of the owner of the site.

The exciting process of creating a lawn

This review provided an answer to the question of how to make a lawn in the country with your own hands. You saw a photo of how this process looks and what result can be obtained as you read the review. They are capable of better than any words to demonstrate 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. It is worth to wish you good luck in this creative and exciting process.

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

Making it better with friends. Agree, so make the clearing and more fun, and much faster!

Therefore, go ahead!

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

Multicolored paper,

Quilling tool, awl or needle,

Quilling board (optional) ...

...and:

PVA glue,

Tracing paper (transparent paper),

Watercolor paints,

Balloon,

The cardboard is green.

We make flowers

We take strips of pink paper long 58 cmwidth 1cm and twist them into tight rolls on a quilling board. These are blanks for our flowers. We give the roll a little unwind and glue the ends of the strips to the very rolls.

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

Glue the petals of the flowers. The middle is made of 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 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 squeeze them on both sides - these are leaflets.

We make a butterfly

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

We will need strips of paper in different colors (purple, pink and white) with a width of 3 mm. Choose the length of your choice, in accordance with the size of the butterfly.

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

Take care of the butterfly body. We take the pink strips and twist them into rolls with the help of a special tool for quilling, an awl or a needle. We make spiral cones of the same diameter from them. Glue the ends of the figure from the inside.

Glue the cones with pink stripes.

These are the details you should get.

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

Insert the antennae into the cone. The details of the butterfly are glued together.

Congratulations! The butterfly is ready!

“And where, in fact, is the meadow?” - You ask. Right now we will be engaged in its manufacture.

We make a flower meadow

Inflate the ball to the desired size. Tear the tracing paper into pieces and glue it on the balloon, skipping the place of its binding. We are waiting for the paper to dry well, burst the ball and take it out.

It turned out like this transparent ball.

Paint the ball in green using watercolor paints. Glue flowers and leaves.

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

Do not forget about the butterfly. It can be glued directly to flower or at kapron insert - then it will be like flying over a clearing. Often, such inserts can be found under the collar of packaged men's shirts, which are sure to be found with Your dad.

What a beautiful flowering glade we have succeeded with!
