Laying of grass

Laying a lawn is the fast way to the perfect garden

When it comes to creating a lawn, property owners are faced with two main choices: засяване на тревни семена или полагане на готов тревен чим. Докато засяването изисква месеци чакане, постоянна борба с плевелите и риск от отмиване при поройни дъждове, the ready chime transforms the yard literally in a few hours.

For your investment to be successful and the grass carpet to take root permanently, the process requires strict observance of the technological stages. Here's the professional guide to properly laying turf.

Preparation of the base: The key to chima longevity

The biggest mistake is to think, that since chim has its own soil and roots, the ground below doesn't matter. The preparation is 90% from the success of the project.

  • Cleaning and milling: The terrain is completely cleared of stones, weeds and construction waste. The soil is milled to a depth of at least 10-15 cm.
  • Substrate improvement: If the soil is heavy and clayey, river sand is brought in for drainage. The addition of humus or special starter fertilizer (rich in phosphorus) stimulates instant rooting.
  • Fine alignment: The ground is perfectly leveled and gently tamped. Any unevenness in the soil below will be reflected as a puddle or hump on the finished chim.

Laying technology: How the grass rolls are stacked?

Grass cleats arrive on a roll and must be laid в рамките на 24 to 36 hours from removing them from the field, especially in warm weather, so that the root does not "steam" and dry out.

  • Chess order: Rolls are placed in a straight line, with their dowries diverging on every line (just like laying bricks or laminate). This prevents the formation of long continuous joints, which can later dissolve.
  • Tight squeeze: The ends of the snaps should fit tightly together, without overlapping and without leaving empty joints.
  • Cutting details: Around flower pots, trees, rounded fairways and spreaders, the trim is precisely trimmed with a specialized mock-up knife.

Validation: Making contact with the soil

As soon as the chimes line up, the entire area must be covered with a heavy garden roller.

Why is valorization important?? The goal is to eliminate air pockets between the chima root ball and the prepared soil below. If air remains, the roots in these places will dry out in days and the grass will fall in patches.

The first ones 14 дни: The critical period of watering

The first two weeks determine whether the chim will come to life. Because its root system is cut off, it depends entirely on surface moisture.

  • Watering mode: During the first 7-10 days the chim must be kept constantly moist (but not flooded). It is watered on 2-3 times a day depending on the temperatures outside. The soil under the chima should be wet at least to a depth 5 cm.
  • No wading: Until the chim lets out whites, healthy roots in the bottom layer of soil (usually takes 10-12 дни), walking and performing activities on it is absolutely prohibited.

Frequently asked questions

1. When is the first mowing done after laying chim?
Около 10 to 14 days after installation, когато при лек опит да повдигнете чима усетите, че той вече се е „заключил“ за земята. Коси се много внимателно, на висока степен на косачката, като се отнемат само върховете.

2. Which season is best for laying turf?
Spring and autumn are ideal periods due to the moderate temperatures. With a professionally programmed irrigation system, however, which can be applied successfully even in the height of summer.

3. Can chim be laid directly on old grass or weeds?
Absolutely not. Old vegetation must be removed from the roots (manually or with a milling cutter), otherwise it will rot under the new chim, it will cause fungal diseases and suffocate the new roots.

Laying a lawn is the fastest and surest transformation in landscape design. Although the initial investment is higher than that of seeds, the end result is guaranteed - you get it ready, thick, a weed-free and richly green yard in just one day.
