The issue of combating the dominance of grass on the site is of interest to almost all owners of countryside buildings. Someone simply does not have the desire or the opportunity at his weekend to engage in her constant haircut( although it grows right before our eyes), as there is always enough work on the backyard and work. This problem is also faced by numerous summer residents.
Periodically coming to their "hundred", they instead of doing, for example, weeding the beds or spraying trees, spend time fighting the thick thickets of grass. And if the forces are not the same, since most of them are older people?
Of course, you can solve the problem and cardinally. On those parts of the territory that are used for tracks or simply not intended for planting crops, remove the top layer, decorate( for example, sprinkle with sand, ram) - and the question is removed from the agenda. Those who believe that this is a way out, we are forced to disappoint - in addition to harm, nothing is achieved. Lawn on the site is absolutely necessary, in any form. Why?
To begin with, we note that they are all subdivided into special and decorative. On the first we have already talked, it was a question of special plantations that strengthen the slopes of reservoirs, ravines and so on. Our task is to deal with their second kind.
What is the use of the decorative lawn
Firstly, the , the grass somewhat lowers the temperature in the area, as it "absorbs" part of the heat.
Secondly, , it cleans and moisturizes the air.
Thirdly, , with its root system, strengthens the soil, protects it from weathering, erosion by water.
Fourthly, , is an excellent background for the rest of the plantations.
Therefore, without a lawn on the site can not do. It remains only to understand how to choose the right grass lawn, which will grow without causing a lot of trouble to the owners and which can not be cut or cut very seldom. We note immediately that artificial coatings are not discussed, since these are not plants in the true sense of the word, but only their imitation. As a rule, it is synthetic.
Classification of decorative lawns is made on different grounds - types of plants, method of arrangement and so on. Therefore, we will focus only on those that are more suitable for small private plots.

As a rule, grass or flowering herbs are planted. They are often several at the same time. Suitable such as bluegrass, ryegrass, a pimple and a number of others( cereals).Among the flowering plants can be noted daffodils, crocuses, hazel grouses, bells, cornflowers.
For example, runaway .Its peculiarity is that when it reaches a height of about 10 cm, its blades of grass lie on its side. It differs in its "softness", so it's a pleasure to walk on it, especially to small children. In addition, it is not difficult to equip such a lawn, as the grass reproduces well. On average over the summer, 1 bush can "fill" 1 m2 of the site. And a big "plus" - unpretentiousness to lighting. Polovitsy completely satisfied with even a partial shade.
Bluegrass differs in that it forms a thick herbaceous coating and well tolerates "minus" temperatures. But in the second year it will most likely have to be "undermined".

In fact, it is a mixture of shoots of various herbs that are characterized by low growth. We already wrote about how to sow lawn grass, by the way, there are ready-made preparations for disembarkation on local "lawns".
We deliberately do not provide a detailed list of all plants that can be planted, as much depends on the region of residence. When settling your site, you need to take into account the climate, the characteristics of the soil, the duration and intensity of the lawn light during the day, and a number of other factors. For example, the owners' ability to regular watering plants. It is best to get detailed advice from a specialist.
Today, quite a few firms specialize in providing services to create a variety of lawns on the Customer's premises. Their cost depends on several factors, so it is appropriate to give only averaged data. If the decoration of the decorative lawn is entrusted to specialists, then for 1 m2 it will be necessary to pay from 180 rubles, but this is for seeding.
There are more lawn rolls. At them the price is slightly higher - from 280 rubles / m2.In fact, this is a ready turf( along with grass), which is imported into the territory and is laid on a pre-prepared plot. This work, if possible, can be done independently, finding a suitable "material" somewhere in the forest glade.
We gave only general recommendations for the arrangement of lawns. There are many options, and what to take into account, the article already stipulated.
