The rules for creating a beautiful and well-kept lawn - a beautiful background for flower beds or a safe carpet on the playground.
Mauritan lawn is called a flowering meadow. Perennial cereals here are planted in a mixture with beautiful-waving plants
An elegant carpet woven from the carved leaf of sourness, is a non-traditional and very original solution for partare lawn
Parter's lawn has a truly "royal" beauty. It is perfectly cut, evenly painted
Another non-standard solution is a lawn from white clover. It usually roll up to a height of 5-7 cm, cutting off the top leaves and not allowing the appearance of colors
Lawn spaces expand the volume of any man-made landscape
Wild meadow: Among the non-lawn grass, white daisies bloom
Multi-multi-tier multi-calmed with a green lawn background
One of the motifs in the designer garden of Xa Tollemache and Jon Kellet (exhibition in Chelsea, 2003) - multiple repetition of the shape of the spiral: in the design of a wooden fence, in sculptural images and even in the design of the lawn
Lawn closely adjoins the slope from smooth stones, emphasizing their texture and light tone
At the base of herbal, a lawn felt is regularly formed - from overworked leaves and dead stems. It is necessary to periodically be combed with rake
Skates along the edges of the lawn will be removed from the stagnation of moisture during the period of abundant rains or the gathering of melt waters in the spring
Compact ball rigs are very beautiful against the background of a smooth short-standing lawn. The composition is solved in one color.
On the playground or in the children's town, the lawn should be resistant to pulling out
Technology Hydroposov. The mixture of water, seeds, fertilizers, technological additives and mulch is sprayed from the hose. Seeds are firmly fixed on the ground
In order to avoid mixing, the fertile soil and the sandy basis can be divided by a special geomethane, the edges of which should be neat
With each new haircut, change the direction: move perpendicular or at an angle 45 relative to the previous axis of the bow. Lawn can not be cut in a wet state - after watering or rain. Wait until the grass dry
"Ready" lawn, at least 18 months grown in the fields, after which it is cut with special machines, turns into rolls and transported to the place of installation
It will take another three weeks before the Dernina completely comes with the soil. All this time, keep the top layer of soil wet
If the clover lawn does not cut on a time limit, it blooms and turns into a beautiful meadow, appropriate in natural landscapes, but alien regular gardens
Lawn herbs differ in growth rate, brute, stability to shadow, droughts and convergences, cold and disease. The beneficial existence of lawn depends on their proper selection, especially in shaded places
In the fall, when the average daily temperature drops to 10c and the grass ceases to grow, the haircuts should be stopped. Under the snow, the lawn should leave a height of 10-15 cm
Annual aeration helps to breathe and eat adult lawn
Before the winter onset, remove all the soil foliage and coniferous opead
Ordinary lawn is quite decorative and at the same time practical, it is designed for walking, therefore the most popular in private landscapes and can occupy huge territories. Normal is the load of about 200 steps / m2 per day
Depending on the planted herbs, your lawn may have a color from gentle salad to dark malachite
Beautiful well-kept lawn is one of the most important advantages of the country area. It increases the cost of real estate by 15-20%. In addition, it is a beautiful background for flower beds or a safe carpet on the playground, an infracking eye picturesque cloth next to the ponds and fountains, under the garden trees and in front of the windows at home.
For a long time, lawns were used solely in decorative purposes as a beautiful green background for flower beds. Today, in areas with disadvantaged ecology, they are increasingly created on the basis of practical considerations. After all, gasons are magnificent sources of oxygen. It is known that young leaves and shoots produce this gas needed more than adults. Ana lawn is constantly changing plants, they are always young and active. In addition, green carpets, as they are often referred to, neutralize pollutants present in the air, soot, dust, carbon dioxide. Binding water, the lawn contributes to natural precipitation filtering: toxic compounds, for example, nitrates and phosphates (gas "bread) are transformed into non-toxic. Frix day air temperature at the level of the herbal coating 4-5 at the temperature at the level of open soil. Lawns reduce the wind and aqueous soil erosion. This is a safe coverage for children's games and sports activities. Finally, the lawn is able to muffle noise and soften the dazzling sunlight. Although the decorative effect, of course, is also important.
Obstacles to the arrangement of lawn may be the need for permanent and rather painstaking care for it (watering, haircuts, feeding, weeding, weeding) or a practical desire to fill the entire seamless territory with groes with vegetables and berries.
Classification
If you contact a landscape company for services on a lawn device, specialists will definitely ask what you are waiting for it - you want it to be flawlessly beautiful and attractive, going to play football or intend to strengthen the slopes. Decorative, sports and protective, then three main lawns groups depending on their functional purpose. These three species differ in both the composition of the herbs used and the departure.
Meadow lawn is careless, he does not imply daily care. Here are permissible weeds, uneven bunches and grass color Decorative lawns , as follows from their name, first of all, attractive. They decorate the parks and boulevards of cities, gardens and suburban sections. Characterized with a dense, beautiful color of grass. They, in turn, are usually divided into partner, ordinary (or garden-park) and meadow.
Parterny lawns The most decorative. Require a very laborious care (to mow such a lawn should, at least once every two or three days or even once a day) and are intended only for admissions. Do not carry out loads: traces remaining on the grass, disturb velvet cover. As a rule, it consists of one type of grass (a narrowing of red or crumpled, a narrow-on, we will go about them in the section "Herbs and mixtures"). Form low, thick and uniform grass monochrome bright green color. Planned in front of the windows of the house, in the front part of the garden or serve as a background for flower arrangements, trees, water bodies, sculptures and fountains.
Ordinary (or garden-park) lawns combine high decorative qualities and resistance (permissible load, approximately 200 steps per 1m2 per day, provided that you do not pull out permanent paths). They are not so perfectly soft and velvetists, like partner, but not so tough as sports. This is the most common type of lawn. The care is regular, but less labor-intensive than per litter.
The most unpretentious lawn - meadow. Here weeds and the inhomogeneity of the grass color are admissible. Kosping such lawns can be 7-10 and even 15 cm.
According to the composition of the grained grasses, the listed groups almost do not differ. True, there are rare exceptions. So, in the parter lawn it is impossible to use sheep oatmeal, and in the rest you can. The main difference between the departure levels, it can be high (partare lawn) or low (meadow).
There is still a whole group of non-traditional lawns used in decorative purposes. First of all, it Mauritanian lawn. It usually consists of a mixture of one part of the weak perennial cereals and two parts of the beautiful seasoning annuals (Mac, Vasilek, Gypsophila, Iberis, Calendula, a bell, Lena, Nemesis, Nogobol, Esholzolization) - They are enough to sow once, and in subsequent years, flowers will multiply Summer. Such a lawn is often referred to as a flowering meadow. It requires just one mortgage for the year after squeezing seeds. The need for the formation of a turf layer with no-flowering plants need to dispel the ripe seeds. Hospitality, after grazing herbs, the Moorish lawn loses his decorativeness and becomes like a wild meadow.
Alternatively are different Nelakovaya Lawns planted with thyme, chamomile, yarrow, Msanka, Veronica, clover, among which narrow cereals become unwanted weeds.
Pretty wide selection Soil industry Plants. They can be a good exit from the position when arranging shadow areas, where the growing of cereal herbs and care are difficult. Use here in a smoking woman, sick ornamental shapes, Budrut plush-like, european coil, Barwin, Zelenchuk, Gorianka.
Sports lawn It is arranged on football sites, badminton, volleyball, golf, on the territory for children's games or cooking kebabs, on the garden tracks or on the vehicle parking area. The composition is dominated by the endless rigid herbs, forming a powerful turne (grazing grazing, etc.). Such lawns are resistant to pullouts, trauma-safe and can also be decorative (for example, if they are created from the meadow meadow). Depending on a specific sport type, the lawn care will have their own individual features. For example, a golf course where the wells are cut (Green), you need to cut every day to the height of only 3mm.
Protective lawns It is suitable on the slopes and slopes of roads, high shores of water bodies. The coating of the turf and the strengthening of such surfaces is complicated by their inaccessibility, the probability of flushing seeds or a weak rooting of plants during squeezing or movement of the soil. The main goal of creating planting of this type is soil protection from erosion. Requirements for them are minimal: herbal cover should consist of plants forming a powerful turne (sheep's oatmeal, etc.). Surfaces with a large bias are most often sided by hydroposov method. The care is minimal: one or two mowing per year, making a very small number of fertilizers.
Preparation of soil
We describe one of the most popular in the middle lane of technologies for the preparation of soil under the lawn. First of all, it is necessary to clear the plot from debris - remove all the stones, building waste, if necessary, targeted the stumps and roots of trees. In no case, do not instinate the garbage, subsequently in the places of its burial on the lawn will form brown spots. Then align the site - cut the hills, fall asleep the pits. After the first leveling, the site must be switched to a depth of 20-25 cm. The most suitable primer for lawn is light and medium loam. To obtain it in clay soils, add sand, fertile soil, some peat and missing trace elements. The video should be conducted with a laboratory analysis of the soil - for this it is enough to bring the handful of earth from your site into the appropriate Botanical Garden Labs or the Agricultural Academy. Timiryazeva. Experts will determine the chemical composition of the soil, will make a list of mineral substances missing in it and will select the optimal proportions of their introduction. The cost of the procedure is from 250-300 rubles. If you do not conduct such an analysis, it is recommended to add complex mineral fertilizers to the soil, for example, Kemir (universal or lawn) or fertilizer for feeding "Russian lawns". Sand soils are very good for lawns, but, unfortunately, poorly retain moisture and therefore require reinforced irrigation.
The lawn produces a lot of oxygen, absorbs harmful dust and soot, filters rainding water, muffles noise and softens the dazzling sunlight after the area is loosening its final alignment. Moreover, the playground for the lawn does not have to be a perfectly smooth surface - in this case, periodic strokes of water threaten. So it is better to give a dome-shaped area with an elevation in the center and skates along the edges: not the absorbed rain and melting waters will leave. The playground can be planned with a slope in one direction, taking into account the reduction of the relief.
After leaving for two to three weeks, regular abundant watering is carried out, provoking the germination of all seeds in the soil. The arranged weeds spray with herbicides (for example, roundap) and after a while the deceased leaves are crushed with robbles and throw out. Then the soil is riveted with a water rink of a mass of about 100kg. Now the site is ready for the sowing lawn.
Of course, depending on the specifics of the specific territory, the technology of preparing the soil may have its own characteristics. For example, in a raw wetlands, experts are recommended to lay a drainage system. It is usually embroiled for a certain depth of the branched system of drain tubes with numerous holes in the walls. These tubes allow you to collect excess water. Drende look geochanging so that the grains and other small particles do not score holes. The frequency of the DREND and their dimensions are calculated for each particular area and depend on many factors: the moisture content of the soil, the water supply conditions of IT.D.
On the slopes of rivers and ravines, it is possible to protect the soil from erosion better than other plants. They are able to protect the soil from erosion and squeezing opposite opinions as to whether or not to use the surface layer of peat. By our technology, it was introduced as one of the components during the dumping of the soil. Sometimes pure neutral peat pour over the fertile soil. This, of course, simplifies the service of lawn, especially in the first, the most time-consuming year or two. But after all, the peat is a organic agent, and after a while, when the lawn itself forms a sufficiently large amount of organics, its number can be excess. The same peat delays and misses moisture and nutrients.
Sometimes the soil is not drunk. After the first leveling and destruction of weeds on top of the existing soil, the layer of fertile soil is simply poured with a thickness of 5-8cm-medium or light loam, bought in specialized organizations. Beware of purchasing it from cars along the roads that lead to the country villages - such a soil does not always have due qualities, sometimes representing the upper layer, shot with the former collective farm fields. It is sold by people who do not have the relevant license, and it is cheaper.
Herbs and mixes
In the climatic conditions of the middle strip of Russia, according to experts, it makes sense to grow four types of grass: Poa Pratensis, Red (Festuca Rubra), Pasture Rights (Lolium Perenne) and wilderness (Agrostis Stolonifera). They differ in brute, the ability to transfer the overjoyment and drought, resistance to pulpating and decorativeness.Matlik meadow Differs intense green. Ideal for high-quality lawns, since before others starts green and later he finishes. True, at first it develops very slowly, it takes long, in the flows. For the first time, two years requires extraordinarily careful care, it reacts poorly to untimely watering and feeding. But the lawn of mature mint is the most diverse, its rhizomes are very active, and even propellans that are sometimes formed after the winter are quickly tightened. Hospitality, matstick does not tolerate shadows.
For Oatman Krasnaya Characterized gentle salad shade. According to the functional properties, it is worse than mattle (produces less oxygen, it does not so intensively clean the air). Plots walking with oatmeal, jokingly call the "lawn lazy and poor people": the grass is not so touching on rare watering, untimely pcs, resistant to shadow, heat and cold.
Pasture rags - Grass of juicy malachite color. In the early time, the landscapes are trying to avoid its use: this lawn is short-lived in our climate, winter is only 1-3 years old, and then dies (while mint and oatmeal is decorative up to one hundred years). Another disadvantage is weak agencies: the lawn will never be dense enough. The advantage of a raygrass is a deep root system that feeds the grass with a lack of moisture and nutrients. This species very quickly gives fresh shoots, which is why it is often used to repair sports fields and the rapid creation of decorative lawns.
Wildlife merchant Finding on a characteristic gray-green shade. This is an unusual plant requiring an individual approach. Mowing the lawn from the field is needed to the height of only 1cm (from other grass heights 4-7cm). This is due to the fact that it ends and intertwined in the lower layer, and at the level of 5-7cm begins to grow old and lose decorativeness. Synto, the warm wet summer may be affected by fungus, able to destroy the huge areas of the lawn in just a few hours. Herbs of various types of fields almost never include. It is indispensable for some types of sports-tennis, creating starting sites and golf holes.
It is believed that the perfectly smooth lawn can only be obtained from the grass of one species. It is desirable to combine a few of its varieties, they are almost no difference in appearance, but have different drought resistance, it is no way tolerate diseases. Meanwhile, there is a fairly large number of mixtures from different species on the market. In addition to the listed herbs, they can include mints of ordinary, Timofeevka meadow, canopy, etc., is sometimes added to a white clover to increase the density and resistance of the herb. The mixtures are quite popular with consumers, because due to the combination of herbs of a different type of bunning, leafy of herbs, the power of the root system, drought resistance, germination speeds allow you to maintain a lawn in a decorative state even with errors in care. The lawn is of one grass more capricious, but more beautiful. In the Russian market, the Canadian mixtures are offered (for example, Pickseed; the climatic zones of Russia and Canada are closest), Danish (DLF Trifolium, etc.) and Dutch (Barenburg and others) firms. Russian manufacturers are just beginning to supply grassmes intended for sowing on private landscapes.
Sowing
The optimal time for sowing lawn grass, until the middle of May in spring (provided that the site was prepared from the fall) or from mid-July to mid-August. Weather on the day of sowing should be clear and windless; It is good that the surface of the soil is dry, and the soil is directly under the neutral. It is usually recommended to acquire seeds at the rate of 30-50 g / m2. But some companies specializing in the cultivation of lawns propose to use other calculations: 7-12 g / m2, and for a more uniform landing, the seeds are mixed with fine sand in the ratio of 1: 2. The lawn planted in such norms in the first years will not have perfect decorativeness, but then each plant will be able to actively develop and rise in full force. Listening to a thick planting (under the norms of 60-80 g / m2), the lawn quickly acquires decorativeness, but it is very soon to seedlings become closely, they clog each other and begin to reach the light, the roots develop badly and very shallow. A similar lawn in a strong drought or in winter can die.
Lace clover leaves are harmonized with hanging branches of larch wrappers. The clover rover is rare for Russian landscapes, seeds are divided into four parts and sow in different directions: in two directions along the lawn and in two across. Scattered seeds close up with rakes to 1-2 cm depth, after which it is possible to produce a rainfall, this procedure provides a more dense contact of seeds with a soil and, as a result, their fastest germination, and also makes seeds more protected from birds. Especially loved by Pernata Pasture-rigras.
3-4 days after sowing, the first shooting platform is covered with a light green haze. After two weeks, most of herbs is boiling. Then two more weeks they are gaining strongly growing up to 8-12 cm. It is important that shoots do not start to bed under your own weight. Approximately, after sowing, the first definition is carried out by a very neat, not injured grass - removing only 2-3cm. The Dernina has not yet gained, and with careless handling of the lawn mile, you can land a hole or to try plants from the ground right with roots. Most landscape firms engaged in the lawn device include 1-2 mortgages in the list of warranty work.
For the sowing lawn in hard-to-reach places (steep slopes, slopes) and in large areas you can use hydroposov technology. It consists in the following: carefully mixed composition formed from seeds, fertilizers, water, various technological additives and mulch, under pressure about 6 atm sprayed with a hose on a predetermined area. The inclined technological additives include grass seed growth accelerators, various bonding substances (with their help seeds can be held on any slopes, up to 90 raised) and products enriching the soil. Hydroposov, as mentioned, is optimal on large areas (more than 0.5 hectares) and in places where access is complicated. For partare lawns does not apply.
Ready lawns
Many landscaped companies include the list of services offered for services of rolled lawns. We are talking about the finished turne from lawn herbs, which allows only a few hours to turn a unparent naked plot of land in a beautiful green area. Although "rolled" - the word is not entirely right, it describes only the method of transportation: Dernina (or turne is called the upper layer of the soil, densely overgrown with cereal plants, whose roots are tightly spraled) really rolls into rolls, but it is rapid on the spot, as Cloth fabric. It is more correct to call such a lawn ready, mature or perennial- until the transplantation is grown in the nursery for at least 18 months. Wangillian there is a special term-sod. By purchasing the finished lawn, you will pass the stage of painstaking care of young crops, when all the watering, haircuts and feeding should be timely and very neat. But, unfortunately, it is worth such pleasure quite expensive- $ 2.5-3 / m2 (without delivery and styling).
The uneven growth of grass and the scorched yellowish stains are the consequence of incorrect feeding with dry mineral fertilizers of the standard, the standard is considered to be a ring of 0.42m and weighing about 15kg, when placing it is convenient to lift and transfer it. Large in size - up to 0.8100m and, accordingly, heavier rolls are placed using special equipment. The optimal thickness of the turny is 6-9cm, of which 4-7cm is the height of the grass, 0.5-1m - felt (compressed layer at the base of grass, consisting of dead stalks, the residues of grass after impacts and focusing, not removed lawn mower) and Not more than 1,5 sorted layer (it consists almost from the roots, there is very little land here). If, during cutting, the company leaves a large soil thickness, Dernina is worse. The same thin plate of the soil layer allows the turne to root on any soils, regardless of where it was grown earlier. However, you can meet more stringent recommendations: if you purchased a ready lawn, which was grown on sandy soils, then squeeze it on sandy, and if on clay, then on clay. When buying rolls, be sure to follow the coloring of the lawn to retain saturation and uniformity, and the grass was recently trimmed (long stems can hide felt and mellular weeds). A good root system contains many young white roots. The roll must be uniform over the entire length, with a slight shaking, do not break into pieces.
By the flooring of the finished lawn can be engaged in May to September. The technology of primer preparation is the same as when crops. The upper limit of the fertile layer of the soil should be located about 2 cm below the level of the tracks on the site, after laying the surface rolls aligned. The turfs are filling with rows resembling brickwork, close to each other. Make sure that the edges of the rolls do not overflow among themselves (if necessary, cut them with a knife or shovel) and mounted, without leaving gaps. Take the work on the work only on the ongoing lawn, laying under the feet of the board or Phaneur. After the end of the installation, Turn your new lawn - this procedure eliminates the air cavities and provides the density of the contact of the turf with the surface of the Earth. Then, draw abundant irrigation to the water must impregnate the lawn to the surface of the soil. Completion of the first week Support freshly wetted material. Three weeks later there will be a complete fire of the turf with the soil. The lawn's cat is carried out no earlier than 5-7 days after it laying.
Order a dery for 10-15% more than the area of your site. Always, when the territory has a complex curvilinear form, sometimes it is necessary to acquire even 20-25% more turf. If you do not have the opportunity to tempt the lawn immediately after delivery, keep it in the shade, watering in hot dry weather with water.
Care
What is perfect in the appearance of lawn? There are several evaluation criteria on this. First, it should have a uniform density of which are not less than 100 shoots per DM2 so that the land is not viewed through the grass. Secondly, there should be no weeds on the lawn (no more than two 0m2 is allowed) and proper. Thirdly, the color is estimated - ideally it is uniform throughout the plot, intense green, without yellowness. The whole grass should have the same height, and the edge of the lawn shape. These requirements are not imposed on the young, only created by lawn. He is ideal to become aged at least one and a half years.
Solitary landing - bright accents on a green lawn background. These can be flowering or decorative shrubs (for example, rhododendrons, purple-olive barberries), large seals and even groups of small-bedroom species (for example, blue lobelia) The main procedures necessary to maintain the lawn in the normal state are timely irrigation, haircut, making Fertilizers, as well as aeration of lawn and combed felt.
Watering the lawn is better abundantly and rarely than often and gradually. You will have to ever do twice a week. For irrigation, portable spins use or build an underground automatic irrigation system. The volume of the necessary water is 30-40l / m2, the soil should be moisturized to a depth of at least 15-20 cm.
Mushing in July about once again, it is necessary to introduce fertilizer into the lawn. The video of the grass requires its feedstocks. Fertilizers with a predominance of nitrogen contributing to the active growth of grass in the spring and in the first half of summer, and phosphoric and potash-in-late summer and autumn (they help strengthen the root system and stock nutrients for winter). Once in 1- 2 years, experts recommend scattering soil rich in organic fertilizers throughout the lawn area - to improve herbs. The thickness of such a layer is about 0.5 cm.
The frequency of the haircut is tied to the grass growth rate. Wheel and wet weather increases more, in arid, respectively, less. We need a weekly catfish. The secret of the haircut is that the grass should be high enough, so as not to lose their strength and do not dry under the sun, and short enough to look beautiful. The height must be kept approximately the same for the entire season. On the usual lawn it is 4-7cm, and on the parter, where the herbs have high bush, - 3 cm. Even if you launched your lawn, it is impossible to raise more than 30% of the height of the grass at once (when cutting too much part of the stem it is difficult for it). The haircut is a rather time consuming process: to throw 10-15 acres, it will take 2- 2.5 hours.
Rolls are rolled out by rows, close to each other. The laying method resembles brickwork. Order for 10-20% more turf than the area of your site is very important sequence of a haircut. First you need to throw 1-2 stripes on the two opposite edges of the site, so you prepare a place for further turns of the lawn mower. After that, move perpendicularly bevelled strip forward and backward. The vitogue will appear alternating stripes of light and dark color (this is not related to the quality of herbal coating and varieties used). They are especially distinct if you use a lawn mower with a rink. The wheel must move along the already tonsured territory - as a result you will not leave the randomly unknown strips wide in several blades. It is not recommended to cut the wet grass after the rain or irrigation, it is heavy and falls. For mowing small areas around flower beds, use special scissors.
Weeds from a young lawn. Delete 1-2 times a week. The best way to combat them - regular and correct grass care. When complying with the cutting mode and making the weed fertilizers will not be able to develop next to the dend-forming rocks. As a rule, they also do not withstand frequent and low cats. It is harder to fight with perennial weeds (dandelion, plantain, buttercups, etc.), which develop deep roots. They can be removed by special lawn knife or herbicides. Special problem - moss. It is necessary to deal with them after you set the cause of this attack. MAs are distributed in places prone to lagarment; with unbalanced feeders (for example, due to lack of nitrogen); with excessive acidity of the Earth (perhaps you will have to analyze the soil for acidity and, in the case of a positive result, start adding lime or "gas sand"); In the case of an improper selection of the soil (for example, if you poured too much peat) or in the shaded places, where the lawn is depressing and the MAs begin to actively survive it (in this case, it is better to create a lawn from the chapel-born soils).
Preparing the soil under the lawn, leave "dry wells" with a diameter of 1-1,5m around adult trees of shrubs. They are 5-8 cm below the level of the lawn and usually fall asleep decorative mulch spell the haircuts until the middle of October, when the grass growth stops. Remember that under the snow lawn should leave the "brush" with a height of 10-15 cm so that the grass does not work out and does not sink to spring. Before the onset of cold weather, be sure to remove the residues of the flowing foliage and coniferous opead. The greatest danger to the lawn represent the winter thaw. An ice crust is formed on the snow, and without air access, the grass begins to spew, so the crust must be broken. For the same reason, it is not recommended to arrange a rink on the lawn. Even under the most favorable conditions after wintering on the lawn, damaged places will most likely. Small areas (area to 1m2) can be repaired, putting "patchwork" from a healthy turf cut from the edges of the lawn. Larger damage is better to be treated with a re-sowing or filling of the turf (this is relevant for the meat lug).
The intensive exploitation of the lawn leads to the seal of the turf, its breathing is hampered. Therefore, at a minimum, once a year, it is better in spring or autumn, spend agenation of an adult lawn. Landscape firms have professional aerators with tubular teeth, but you can use conventional forks and pierced with them to the turin (1m2 should have 100-200 holes) or put on a haircut, "shoes with nails".
In the spring, after the snow removal, when the soil surface is already dry, and in the depth there is still a lot of moisture, the lawn is aspisted using the rink. From time to time, combine the felt felt rakes, its layer is useful to 1cm, and more than 1,5cm is harmful because it creates a dense carpet that does not pass moisture and nutrients, and the lawn begins to root.
There are many other subtleties of grass care at different times of the year - you can learn from special literature or recommendations of professionals.
