Criteria for choosing a rolled lawn
When choosing a rolled lawn, you should pay attention to several criteria:
- Soil composition. Rolled turf must be compatible with the soil on your property. It is best to choose a lawn grown in soil similar to yours.
- Type of grass. Each type of grass has its own characteristics and requires certain conditions for growth. Therefore, it is important to choose a turf roll that is suitable for your climate and growing conditions.
- Condition of the lawn. When purchasing a lawn, it is important to pay attention to its condition: it should be fresh, green and resilient. You should not buy lawns with dried out areas or gray mold.
Following these criteria, you can choose a high-quality lawn that will last you for many years.
Choosing a rolled lawn
Before choosing a lawn roll, it is important to consider several factors. One of the main ones is the climatic conditions of the region where the lawn will be installed. Other important selection criteria are price, quality, service life and care features.
Not all varieties of rolled turf are suitable for all climates. Some varieties grow best in temperate climates, such as central Russia. For drier regions, such as southern Russia, it is better to choose a variety that best adapts to hot climates.
On rolled lawns price and the quality of the turf produced are also important in order to select the right turf. When choosing the price of a lawn, you should not concentrate too much on the cost, because budget varieties of lawn may be of lower quality and require more money to operate.
It is important to take into account that rolled turf, in comparison with seed turf, has a shorter service life. But there are still varieties of rolled turf that can continue to exist for several years.
After choosing a rolled lawn, you need to pay attention to its care. Single drying or underground weeds can cause the death of 30-50% of the plants on the lawn. Before installing a rolled lawn, it is necessary to water the base and plant layer of soil abundantly. After this, cover the lawn with cellophane film and set it for an hour and a half so that it gains moisture and sinks.
Correct installation of rolled lawn
Installing a rolled lawn is a responsible and important step that requires care and attention. Below we will look in detail at the basic steps and rules that will help you install your lawn rolls correctly.
Soil preparation
Before installing a roll lawn, you must prepare the soil. First you need to clear the installation site of all plant debris and stones. Then you need to apply organic fertilizers and water the soil.
Installation of roll lawn
After preparing the soil, you can begin laying the rolled lawn. Start by unrolling the roll at the outermost installation line. When laying, make sure that each roll is carefully adjacent to the previous one. Rolls must be stacked at a distance of 30 cm to take into account the dimensions of the equipment.
Lawn compaction
After laying the lawn, all rolls must be thoroughly compacted. To do this, you can use a lawn roller, which you can buy or rent. Roll the roller along the surface of the lawn lengthwise and crosswise.
Following these rules will help you install your roll lawn correctly and enjoy its beautiful appearance! Remember that proper care of your rolled lawn is the key to its long service life and excellent green grass!
Watering and caring for rolled lawn
Watering is one of the most important conditions for the health and good appearance of your rolled lawn. It should be regular and plentiful, especially during periods of heat and drought. On average, it is recommended to water your lawn 2 to 3 times a week, depending on weather conditions and soil type.
In addition, when watering, you need to take into account the time of day. It is recommended to water the lawn in the morning or after sunset to avoid burns on the leaves of the plants. Using automatic watering systems can make caring for your lawn much easier and ensure proper moisture levels.
In addition to watering, a rolled lawn also requires regular maintenance. It is necessary to trim the grass as it grows, and also apply nutrients. The frequency and intensity of pruning is determined by the type of lawn, the appearance of the grass and other factors. Most often, for a rolled lawn, trimming once a week is enough, but when growing a lawn of high quality and with an ideal surface, it may be necessary more often.
