Today we will talk about such interesting material as a rolled lawn. This is a very popular land cover today, not only in suburban areas. We will tell you how the laying of a rolled lawn is carried out correctly, about some of the nuances of the process. And also denote the positive and negative aspects of this unique material. You will understand this topic, you can easily control the masters who were entrusted with laying the rolled lawn in their summer cottage. So to speak, to be with them "on the same wavelength."
What is rolled lawn
In fact, this is a grass that is planted on a special basis. As the latter, burlap, cardboard or polyethylene mesh is used. The base is laid on a flat surface, it can be a dirt platform or rack equipment. A layer of soddy soil mixed with peat and sand is poured on it. The main task is to bring the acidity of the mixture to neutral, as in nature. The thickness of the poured layer is 3-5 cm.
After preparation, grass seeds are sown. As soon as the plants rise to a height of 10 cm, they are cut. This is done two or three times to strengthen the root system. After 2 months, the covering material is ready.
Manufacturers most often offer grass mats 2 m long, 0.4 m wide and 2-2.5 cm thick.
Laying technology
The technology of laying a rolled lawn is divided into two main stages: preparation and laying the lawn itself.
On our site you can find contacts of construction companies that offer the service of project development and landscape improvement. You can directly communicate with representatives by visiting the exhibition of houses "Low-Rise Country".
Preparatory stage
First of all, the site itself is prepared, on which it was decided to lay the rolled grass. To do this, remove debris, stones, pull out weeds. Then prepare the drainage system. They do it like this:
Take off topsoil to a depth of 20 cm.
fall asleep a layer of pebbles, which is leveled along the horizon.
Next layer of sand. It is leveled and tamped.
fall asleep selected soil.
Spend soil compaction with a metal roller.
If the soil on the site is sandy, then a drainage system is not needed. It will only be necessary to clear the area and level it.
And the last process at the preparatory stage is markup. If the planted area is large enough, it is recommended to break it into strips. That is, pegs are driven in along the edge of the site with a step equal to the width of the rolled lawn. The same is done on the opposite side. After that, the pegs are connected to each other with twine.
Please note that the grass should not be higher than the garden paths after emergence. And given that its height does not exceed 5 cm, then, starting from this indicator, the site is leveled.
main stage
In principle, there is nothing complicated about this. It is necessary to evenly lay out the rolls next to each other, leaving no visible gaps. It is important to lay the first roll correctly. That is, parallel to the edge of the area on which the material is rolled.
Since the rolls themselves have a certain length, often each of them does not cover the length or width of the section. Therefore, the rolls are stacked in a checkerboard pattern. This is when the edge of one of them lies next to, but to the middle of the canvas. When the entire site is covered with grass, soil mixed with sand is sprinkled between the laid strips. Thus, the edges of the stacked roll are protected.
And a few more features of laying a rolled lawn:
Gap between herbal materials should not exceed 1 cm.
Lay rolls overlap forbidden.
It is forbidden stack pieces of rolls less than 1 m long. The edges of the material are the most vulnerable areas that do not take root well.
Lawn laying in rolls is best done in dry cool weather.
grass in hot weather watered abundantly and several times a day.
During the installation process, the layout is carried out from one side of the landscaped area to the other. advance on unfolded rolls is prohibited.
If a there is a reason to step on the laid lawn, it is better to put a wide flat object under your feet. For example, a sheet of plywood, at worst - a board. This will reduce the point load that can damage the grass.
After 15-20 days, the first mowing is carried out. Experts recommend keeping the height of the grass no more than 5 cm. Although this is just a recommendation.
How to take care of your lawn
So, the installation of the rolled lawn has been completed, the site has been watered, what's next. The main task lies with the owner of the suburban area. And it consists in not overdrying the laid material. Therefore, the grass must be watered all the time.
By the way, in order to understand whether the laid grass layer is dry or not, you need to periodically raise the edge of the extreme layer. If the layer itself is wet, then this is normal. If dry, you will have to increase the volume or frequency of watering. The recommended dose of water for irrigation is 10-15 liters per 1 m 2 of the laid plane. Please note that this must be followed in the first two weeks after installation. After that, the frequency can be reduced.
How to choose
Today, there are a huge number of manufacturers who offer rolled lawns. Therefore, it is difficult for a person who does not know the subtleties of the device of the proposed materials to choose a quality product. Therefore, a few tips.
So, what should be the lawn in rolls:
With good root system, where white roots should stand out in large numbers.
Sod layer thickness along the entire length of the strip should be the same within 2-4 cm.
The soil should not be very clayey and not very sandy. It should not contain stones.
grass color should be juicy and the same throughout the plane.
Must not be pests both in the soil layer and in the grass layer.
Complete lack of bald spots, which speak of the low quality of the proposed material.
The grass must be beveled.
A few words about the last position. It should be noted that some unscrupulous producers in this way try to hide some shortcomings in the vegetation cover. A quality layer should have a small bevel so that the quality of the grass can be clearly seen. The optimal grass height is 3 cm. And the mowing should be uniform over the entire area.
Purchase the material that was removed from the turf on the day of sale. If you are offered an old stale product, then the smell of rotten grass will come from it, and the tips of the cover will also be yellow.
Advantages and disadvantages
Let's start with the positives.
No need ready soil, sow grass and take care of young greens.
Finished green coating is easy tolerates low frosts, drought and is immune to various diseases.
Doesn't let you grow weeds.
Simplicity care.
long exploitation.
And the characteristics are negative.
High price. A rolled lawn with laying costs an average of 400-700 rubles per 1 m 2. The price fork depends on the landscaped area. The higher the last indicator, the lower the price.
A large number of poor quality products in the modern market. You can purchase material that simply does not take root or will last one season.
Life time an order of magnitude lower than that of a sowing lawn.

Conclusion on the topic
So, we have analyzed the topic, in which great emphasis was placed on the technology of laying a lawn from roll seed. This process is actually simple, but it has many pitfalls, ignorance of which will lead to a decrease in the quality of the final result. Therefore, invite experts and make sure that they do everything right.
Roll laying is one of the ways to quickly improve the territory of a site or cottage with your own hands.
Knowing how to choose and lay a lawn cover, you can create grassed areas in a short time, decorate or decorate a yard.
What is it?
Today, rolled turf is an alternative to painstaking work to create a dense and high-quality turf cover. The device of rolls does not have significant differences from live grass. The only difference is that highly specialized farms are engaged in lawn cultivation. It takes about three years to get a green carpet from seeds that can be used for home improvement. The grown grass layers are rolled up, stored and sold to customers, since such a product is characterized by short shelf life.
Each sod layer has a mesh base, which is highly durable.
Important! Green grass cover around the house protects its owners from exacerbations of allergies to dust. On average, 1 hectare of lawn holds up to 60 tons of dust particles.
How not to make a mistake when choosing
Laying grass on the site provides for the choice of high-quality rolled lawn and its correct calculation. 
Correct calculation
It is impossible to make a purchase of rolled turf offhand, so that there is no surplus left or you do not have to buy more. It is necessary to carry out the calculation from measuring the parameters of the future green lawn and calculating the total area.
For example, the length of the plot is 5 m, the width is 4 m, then the area is 20 sq. m. Such is the area of the future lawn.If the site has a flat relief, without any bends and flower beds, an additional 5% of the area is added to accurately calculate the rolls. Laying turf on a plot with a curved geometry has a different counting technology. 10% is added to the total area of the lawn, since the amount of waste will be large. 
The correct calculation of the quadrature will help to calculate the correct number of bays. If the conditional width of one roll of grass is 0.5 m, and the length is 2 m, then its area is: 0.5x2 = 1 sq. m. This means that one roll will be needed per meter square of the site, 20 rolls will be needed for 20 squares, etc.
Did you know? Playing sports on a mat laid on green grass reduces the load on the joints, and the body is saturated with oxygen more than when exercising in the gym.
Choosing a rolled lawn
The main criterion for choosing a turf cover is its quality. And all rolls offered in stores have the same appearance. The average width of the turf varies in the region of 40-60 cm, and the length is 190-215 cm. The height of the grass is approximately 5-7 cm with a root system layer of 2 cm or more.
Depending on the manufacturer, the weight of one rug can be 15-30 kg. The quality of the lawn is checked by the side cut. 
An in-depth study of turf quality includes an assessment of:
- the presence of weeds among the grass blades of the lawn;
- uniformity of the grass cover (no bald spots);
- density of the root system.
Did you know? In addition to the function of purifying the air, in the summer, the lawn can reduce the ambient temperature by several degrees.
Soil preparation
The lack of high-quality preparation of the site for the lawn leads to the fact that the lawn with rolled turf loses its attractive appearance. Initially, it is worth taking care of cleaning the site from stumps and various debris (especially construction, which is often buried in). 
All vegetation is also removed along with rhizomes. Since they tend to reappear, it is important to carry out processing in places of their accumulation with special means.
At the next stage, it is necessary to land with a shovel or cultivator so that there are no earthen clods larger than 2 cm in diameter. If necessary, you can add additional components that enhance fertility, improve soil structure and reduce acidity.
Important! If the soil of the site is clayey and does not drain water well, be sure to lay a drainage cushion of gravel and sand 5 to 10 cm high. It will help protect the turf roots from decay and improve the water-air permeability of the topsoil.
A week before the sod is laid out, approximately 50 g per 1 sq. m and thoroughly mixed with the soil. Preparation is completed by tamping in dry weather. A special roller levels and compacts the surface of the site. 
The height of the fertile layer after rolling should be at least 10 cm, and the level of the rolled soil should be several centimeters lower than the height of the track.

How to lay?
It is recommended to start work immediately after purchasing the turf. Lawn rolls are unrolled with the utmost care, laying them in a straight line. The first layer is the key in all the work, since all the rest will be leveled on it. Laying each rug is carried out while standing on the board, which will prevent the sod from being crushed by the feet, and then tamped down to contact the roots and soil. Light tamping with a roller is rarely allowed, which will remove excess air and create a fit.
Laying out adjacent rows of turf occurs according to the principle of brickwork: the joints of the second row should fall in the middle of the plates of the first row, etc. This principle will allow the turf to take root much better. The device of a lawn lawn also provides absence of overlaps.
The rows should be tightly adjacent to each other, avoiding discrepancies of more than 1 cm.
Important! Pay special attention to the edges of the plates. They are the weakest point of the lawn in terms of survival. In these areas, it is unacceptable to use trimmings less than one meter long.
The device of the lawn is carried out in cool and dry weather according to the technology. In the heat, it intensifies several times. The areas where the corners fall are also not bypassed. Grass layers are rolled over them, and then the excess is carefully cut off with a knife. 
How to save a roll
The purchase of grass cover should take place immediately before laying. Often it is recommended to lay the plates within one, maximum two days from the time of cutting and delivery to the customer.
Did you know? The rich green color of the lawn restores mood after stress, relieves eye strain.
Before laying, the turf must be stored in a cool, dark room, since direct sunlight heats up the grass, provokes its yellowness and quick death. To prevent this, the rolls are watered.
When laying the turf is delayed for a few more days, they resort to rolling plates and irrigating. This is a rather time-consuming process that will extend the life of the vegetation for another couple of days. 
What to do after installation?
Having formed a common platform, they process the seams. Each resulting seam and end is sprinkled with a fertile mixture of soil and sand. Then provide abundant watering around the entire perimeter of the site.
Our life is becoming more dynamic and eventful, and modern technologies allow us to quickly achieve the desired results and simplify a number of everyday situations. If earlier the owners of land plots could not even dream that the lawn in front of the house would change in an instant and turn from a unkempt gray piece of land into a green lawn, today this is an everyday reality and the rolled lawn from the manufacturer helps in this.
What is lawn rolls?
It became possible to create a miracle thanks to the use of the technology of laying a rolled lawn, a natural covering consisting of cereal grasses that formed a solid turf on a cut soil substrate. Such an unusual living surface got its name due to the form in which the rolled lawn is placed on the site where it will grow further.
Specially grown grass cover before sending it to the customer:
- cut in the form of rectangular plates or long strips;
- rolls up into tight rolls;
- sent for further processing.
If the lawn is created according to the usual technology, using a seeder and a package of seeds, then it takes many months to prepare the site, sow, wait for seedlings and further care for them. In some cases, natural lawn acquires density and saturation only a year after creation, and sometimes requires restoration if the grass is damaged by frost, rain or heat.
Advantages of a rolled lawn over a conventional one
Since the root system is completely preserved in the plant, and the layer of earth in which the roots are located is not disturbed, the rolled lawn, in the photo, easily tolerates transportation. If necessary, fragments of such a coating can be trimmed, for example, to accurately frame a flower bed or garden path. The grass in this case does not suffer and, with due care, acclimatizes within 2-3 weeks. This is the most important advantage of rolled grass cover over the traditional one.
To completely transform the landscape, to make the site green and well-groomed with the help of a rolled lawn, it will take many times less time than with the usual sowing of a grass mixture.
The best time for the acquisition and subsequent laying of a rolled lawn is spring, when the snow cover has completely disappeared on the site, and the earth and air have warmed up to stable positive temperatures.
When thinking about purchasing a man-made lawn, it is worth remembering that there are many varieties of such coatings. And the prices for a lawn in rolls, its durability and properties directly depend on the composition of the grass mixture used to create it.
The basis of most common species is meadow bluegrass - an unpretentious perennial grass that feels great in the conditions of the Russian middle zone. Sometimes fescue, ryegrass, or other herbs are mixed with bluegrass seeds to give the cover softness, decorativeness, or other qualities.
To obtain a lawn cloth, only high-quality seeds of plants adapted to life in a particular area are used. But no less important for the success of cultivation is the observance of technology and the competent selection of soil.
So that the efforts invested by the manufacturer are not wasted, and the coating quickly takes root after the transfer, certain rules must be followed when laying the turf.
How to lay turf?
Work begins with the mandatory preparation of the site, which is best done in advance.
Since the turf does not like long storage and cannot wait until:
- the site will be cleared of old grass cover, roots, stones and other large inclusions;
- the area will be leveled;
- if necessary, humus, sand or black earth is added to the soil, depending on its type.
The coating in convenient rolls will not be difficult even for an ordinary summer resident, it is unpretentious and easy to use. Therefore, you can transform it yourself, without the involvement of third-party specialists. With some skill and careful preparation, laying a rolled lawn with your own hands on an area of 50 square meters will take only a couple of hours, but the effect of the work will remain for many years.
When ordering a rolled lawn from a manufacturer, it is important to indicate a slightly larger area than the calculations showed. Living material in dry weather has the ability to shrink, and one cannot exclude any unforeseen circumstances.
The maximum shelf life of rolls does not exceed a day. Therefore, immediately after arriving at the site, the laying material is unloaded. Lay out on a flat surface, in a place protected from the sun so that the grass in rolls is not deformed.
When laying, the sides of the panels should tightly close together, leaving no gaps. When laying out on the ground, one roll should go a couple of centimeters onto another. When the grass layer is well pressed, the edges are joined end-to-end and rammed. In large areas, special rollers are used for such work. The gaps that appear during the laying of the rolled lawn or a little later are immediately filled with sand. Soon, when the vegetation gets used to the new conditions, the narrow ones will be covered with fresh shoots.
If you need to cut the grass cover along with the sod, it is convenient to use a sharp garden knife. Moreover, such work must be carried out with gloves and in compliance with safety measures.
After completion of all work according to the technology of laying a rolled lawn, the coating is abundantly watered with the help of sprinklers. In the next two weeks, during the acclimatization period, the grass root system should not be allowed to dry out. With constant humidity, plants quickly come to their senses and begin to grow. 
Features of turf care
According to reviews of summer residents who have already appreciated its merits, such a grass cover is not only easier to create, but also saves energy during maintenance.
Professional selection of seeds and their germination in specialized conditions provide:
- excellent winter hardiness of the lawn;
- its evenness;
- stable density.
The formed root system of grass does not allow shoots of weeds to break through. This also contributes to the preparation of the soil before laying the turf.
And yet care for the rolled lawn is necessary. Mandatory measures to maintain the health and decorativeness of the grass cover include:
- top dressing;
- cleaning and combing the lawn;
- soil aeration works;
- mowing.
The first thing every green plant needs is moisture. Irrigation systems with sprinklers should be used for rolled lawn. This will allow not to damage the surface root system of the grass and not to erode the layer of fertile soil. The grass cover and the soil under it are soaked to a depth of at least 15 cm. Otherwise, a change in the color of the vegetation and its wilting cannot be avoided.
Top dressing of a rolled lawn is carried out similarly to those used for traditional grass surfaces. In spring and summer, plants receive complex fertilizers based on potassium, phosphorus, and it is useful to include microelements in the mixture. Closer to autumn, the lawn is fertilized again, but with a different composition with a low nitrogen content.
Combing the lawn with a rake, regular cleaning of foliage and other debris from it is a necessary preventive measure:
- to improve the growth of herbal rosettes;
- protection of the rolled lawn from the resettlement of weeds, infection of the site with insect pests and plant pathogens.
That is, piercing the grass cover and the top standing soil helps to saturate the soil with oxygen under densely woven roots. A simple but extremely effective measure, it is possible to quickly improve the absorption of nutrients by plants and constantly maintain a high quality of the substrate.
Grass mowing as part of turf care is carried out from May to August. If the lawn covering is only taking root on the site, it can be pruned only after a week after laying. And you can not try to make a low cut. This will damage the future quality of the lawn.
Regular mowing is carried out as needed. Most often, the frequency is 7-10 days. For processing the site, dry, but not hot weather is chosen, and after mowing, the lawn is watered.
Before wintering, grass pruning is possible until mid-October, until there are persistent frosts that can damage damaged leaf blades and shoots. The optimal height of the grass cover at the time of the arrival of winter is 4–6 cm. In this case, the plants will be securely covered with snow and healthy will begin the new growing season.
Features of a rolled lawn and its laying - video
Self-cultivation of a lawn is a laborious and lengthy process. But many people want to become owners of a small green island with soft grass, for recreation, sports, or landscape decoration. There is an alternative to troublesome lawn planting - already grown grass in rolls, almost ready for use. The manufacturer takes care of the most difficult work of sowing plants, and the buyer only has to prepare the site, lay the rolls and regularly care for the coating.
This material is called roll material solely in connection with the method of transportation, otherwise it is no different from ordinary grass cover.
Plants for a rolled lawn are grown on flat, well-lit areas, watered, fed and treated from pests and weeds. When the grass grows up, it is cut, and the root system is cut off along with a few centimeters of soil. 
The coating is divided into identical fragments, rolled up and sent to the customer. So that they do not fall apart, at the stage of planting in the ground, a grid is laid, which then serves as a frame.
Benefits of landscaping areas with a rolled lawn:
- Perfect green coverage in a short time;
- Guaranteed uniform planting;
- No weeds for several years;
- The possibility of landscaping at any time from early spring to late autumn;
- Lawn resistance to atmospheric phenomena and, depending on the type, to abrasion;
- Ease of installation due to the low weight and strength of the rolls.
The dimensions of the rolled lawn are standard: about 2 meters long, 40 cm wide. The soil layer should be at least 2 cm, and the height of the grass should not exceed 6 cm. The average weight is 15-30 kg, it can vary significantly, depending on the level of soil moisture. 
When choosing rolls, it is recommended to inspect them for weeds and uneven emergence. If possible, you need to check the strength of the canvas: it needs to be shaken slightly - the soil should remain in place. An important indicator that will determine the quality of the coating and its ability to take root in a new place is the development of the root system. The tighter the roots are intertwined on the back of the roll, the better.
Disadvantages of rolled lawn:
- The high cost of the material, which is several times higher than the cost of self-planting;
- There is a risk that the grass will not take root - this may be due to the poor quality of the soil on the site, an undeveloped root system, insufficient care and exceeding the shelf life after cutting.
- After separating the grass from the ground, it must be transplanted to a new place within 3 days.
In order for the coating to serve for a long time and perform all its functions, it must be selected in accordance with the purpose.
Kinds
Lawns in rolls differ only in the type of vegetation, it also determines how durable and beautiful the coating will be. All types are conditionally divided into decorative, sports and special. It is necessary to choose a lawn taking into account its functional purpose. If it will be used for outdoor activities or physical activities, then you need a sports one. The purpose of the decorative is mainly aesthetic, it is not able to withstand friction and quickly recover from damage.
Sports
Lawns for sports must be resistant to trampling and abrasion. The vegetation is especially dense for them. Preference is given to herbs that grow quickly in all weather conditions. 
For football fields, a mixture of red fescue, bent grass, and bluegrass is planted. For the arrangement of tennis courts, an even surface with short-cut vegetation is necessary, therefore, lawns from one type of cereal grass are most often used for them. Golf courses are sown with a mixture of fescue.
Decorative
For the manufacture of rolled lawns of this type, more tender plants are used. Most often, these are mixtures of herbs that provide a velvety green coating throughout the season. Some ornamental lawns are moderately resistant to trampling, while others are purely ornamental.
Types of decorative rolled lawns:
When choosing an ornamental lawn, you need to take into account whether it will be used for recreation or just to decorate the landscape, as well as evaluate the possibilities for regular maintenance of vegetation, the characteristics of climatic conditions and the cost of the material.
Special
There are special types of rolled lawns, they are used to solve narrow problems. For example, strengthening slopes, absorbing harmful substances from the air, reducing noise levels. For a home garden or park, such coatings are not needed; they are used on roadsides, at industrial enterprises and airfields. 
Lawn laying
Self-laying a rolled lawn requires advance preparation of the site. It is best to start in the fall and roll out the rolls in the spring. Landscaping with this material can be done from mid-May to mid-June. During this period, it is more likely that the plants will take root well.
Site preparation
First you need to mark the area where the lawn will grow. Further action should be taken into account the type of soil. 
On fertile land, where there is no risk of flooding and stagnant water, you can simply dig up the top layer to a depth of 15-30 centimeters and moisten well. Level the surface with a rake, remove stones, glass and other debris, break up clods of earth.
If the site is prone to swamping, is located in a lowland or has a high content of clay in the soil, then it will be necessary to equip a drainage cushion. To do this, remove the soil layer to a depth of 40 cm, lay expanded clay (10 cm) and sand (10 cm) on the bottom and tamp. Then fill in the soil, it should not reach the height of the garden paths by 2-2.5 cm, so that after laying the lawn comes out on the same level with them.
If the site is replete with weeds, you need to treat the land with special chemicals. It is best to do this work in the autumn. After that, the land will be unsuitable for any planting for a month.
If the soil is infertile, you can remove it and fill it with fertile soil or fertilize it. In the spring, apply nitrogen fertilizers, for wintering - phosphorus or potash.
It is desirable to compact the earth on the site and level it with a skating rink or feet.
The surface must be perfectly flat so that the grass cover is in contact with the soil over the entire area.
Roll stacking
To work, you will need a minimum set of tools: a knife or a sharp shovel for cutting canvases, a board, a light garden roller. The soil should be well moistened, it is also recommended to lightly water the lawn itself.
The work must be done by following simple rules:
The technology of laying a rolled lawn, as well as useful tricks, are presented in the video.
The green lawn will take root within 1-2 weeks. And after a month it will be possible to walk on the lawn. The only thing left to do is to keep the coating in good condition.
Lawn care
You need to follow the coating created from rolls in the same way as you would for a regular lawn. The main care is watering, cutting and top dressing.
After rooting of plants, watering is carried out in accordance with weather conditions. If the coverage area is large, then it will be difficult to manually apply water, it is best to equip an irrigation system that will carefully and evenly moisten the soil. 
In order for the vegetation to be abundant and grow quickly, it is necessary to feed the lawn throughout the season. In the summer, apply nitrogen fertilizers monthly, in the fall - phosphorus and potassium.
Mowing the lawn is carried out as the grass grows. It is recommended to cut no more than 30% of the plant. The optimal shoot size for an ordinary lawn is 40-60 mm. For flowering, the height is practically unlimited, they need to be cut no more than 2 times per season. 
It is advisable to destroy all weeds before planting the lawn. If some of them managed to survive, then you need to try to tear them out completely with the root system.
Another action that will improve plant growth is aeration. If you pierce the soil over the entire area to a depth of 10 cm, then the roots will receive more air. The procedure should be carried out twice a year - in spring and autumn. 
Laying a rolled lawn allows you to significantly save time on landscaping areas of any size and purpose. You can do the work yourself - rolling rolls is not at all difficult. It is important to remember that the cut lawn should not be stored for a long time, and after laying, take care of the surface so that it remains attractive for several years.
You can get a smooth emerald lawn literally in a matter of days with the help of rolled lawn. Ready lawn grow in the fields for two years. For sowing, the optimal composition of grasses for our climatic conditions is selected - narrow-leaved varieties of bluegrass meadow (about 30%) and red fescue (about 70%). High-quality seeds of the latest selection are used, winter-hardy, resistant to diseases and drought. The resulting sod looks like a dense “cushion” - thick emerald green on top and a dense thickness of the root layer (at least 1.5 cm) below. The cut, rolled-up lawn is completely ready for laying - all that remains is to spread it on the site and water it.
The thickness of the fertile layer of soil for covering the lawn is at least 15-20 cm. After laying the finished lawn, its surface should be level with the surface of the paths, so the level of the fertile layer should initially be 2 cm lower.
Site preparation
First you need to prepare the site for the upcoming laying: clear of weeds, old grass, stones and construction debris. Then fill all the depressions and recesses with a fertile layer of soil. To prevent water from stagnating on the surface of the lawn, the site is given a slight slope from the center to the edges for surface water runoff and drainage. The soil is dug up to a depth of 5-10 cm or milled. If necessary, a fertile layer of soil is poured. It is leveled with a rake and rolled.
Styling features
Warehouse and store rolls of finished lawn in the shade, spraying them with water in dry hot weather. They begin to lay the rolled lawn immediately after its delivery - laying it out in straight rows along pedestrian or carriageways. If it is not possible to use the entire lawn in one day, then the remaining unused rolls are rolled out and moistened. Water the lawn immediately after laying. Be sure to check the degree of lawn moisture by lifting the corner of the laid roll (in 10-12 places throughout the area). Water should soak the lawn to the very surface of the soil.
Proper Care
Newly laid lawn is watered every day for the first 7 days and then the following week after 1-2 days, depending on the season and rainfall. Make sure that the irrigation covers the entire area with a new lawn. The best time to water is early morning and late evening when the sun is least active. The first mowing of a new lawn is carried out 1-2 weeks after its laying. The recommended mowing height is 4-6 cm. When mowing a lawn, it is undesirable to shorten the regrown grass by more than 30% of its length. A month after the creation of a new lawn, it is necessary to apply a complex fertilizer such as azofoska in an amount of 20 g/m2 or urea in an amount of 10 g/m2.
Working process
5) They spilled the lawn with water with a root-forming preparation to a thickness of at least 10 cm. Having raised the sod in several places, they made sure that the water had soaked the lawn to the very surface of the soil. Watering a freshly laid azone is done every day for the first week, then in a day or two (depending on the weather)
