Thanks to new varieties of grass, as well as the possibilities offered by laying turf from a roll, the lawn can be set up in virtually all soil and terrain conditions.After arranging the space, it is usually time forbeautifying works. There are many possibilities, let's take a look at the most popular techniques.
The most common arrangement solution used in the beautification of a garden, mostly occupied by a lawn, is the establishment of flower beds-islets. Depending on the style of the garden, the arrangement may have an irregular form with many bulges and narrowings or, when it comes to formal assumptions, the shape of a cuboid or circle. In each case, it is advisable to make an envelope, i.e. a kind of curb, so that the plants do not grow outside their designated zone.The curb also facilitates mowing; if it is on the ground, you can run over it with a mower, if it protrudes above the ground, trim the grass with a trimmer.

A good solution is to separate the rebates from the lawn with a stone curb (Photo: Fotolia.com) |
The curb can be placed using various techniques, using different materials. Traditionally, it is placed parallel to the ground (flush with or above the ground). In rural gardens, the boundary made of natural stone from the area looks interesting.A valuable material, both in practical and decorative terms, are bricks (e.g.from demolition) and natural stone cubes.Where the bed is to blend smoothly with the turf, the best solution is to install protective rings made of thin, flexible plastics.
Long-flowering perennials such ascatnip , rudbeckia,yarrowor daylily are recommended for planting. One-year species can also be used, so that the appearance of the foundation is constantly changing.
For cooking enthusiasts, we suggest a herb garden. Herbs have always enjoyed the opinion of valuable plants, not only because of their utility but also ornamental value.Enough to mention representatives of this group of plants, such as marjoram, borage, thyme, thyme or marjoram.
To give the discount a distinctive, unique style, it is worth decorating it with clay pots, figures or equipping it with elements of small garden architecture.
Arranging a rebate within the existing lawn begins with marking out the outline of the foundation.Then use the spade to cut the turf and pick the grass. The substrate is enriched with a mixture of compost and garden soil.A separate category of assumptions aregravel beds , which by definition are less sumptuous in terms of the number of plants, and thus much easier to care for.
It is important to first put a layer of non-woven fabric on the underside of the bedding to limit the growth of weeds. Only later do we spread the litter. Rabatki should also be lined with a curb, so that the gravel does not spill beyond the designated limits.
Relaxing on the green grass
You can set up a terrace island within the lawn. If you plan to use it often, the substrate must be hardened.The stand for the terrace should be at least 2.5 m in diameter; then it will be possible to fit a table with a set of chairs on it.Natural stone, clinker, brick and gravel (necessarily compacted with a compactor) are suitable for the floor.
Wooden elements should be placed on a stone or concrete foundation. If we embed them directly in the ground, they will start to rot. The floor should be slightly sloped so that water does not collect on it after rain.
Lovers of water gardens can also benefit a lot from the change of arrangement, because small ponds or a ground-floor swimming pool perfectly match the grassy surroundings.The easiest way to create a water arrangement is to use a ready-made form and plant it with a few water plants.In the simplest variant, a water garden can be arranged around a small fountain.
You should always bear in mind how smooth the boundary between the lawn and the grass path is, and how easy it is to cross it when the rebates are too large and too numerous.Therefore, it is worth taking care of the proper proportions, because shifting this border may lead to an unintended transformation of the lawn from an ornamental into a utility one (operated aspath )If there is our idea, for sowing, we should choose grasses intended for intensive use (e.g.for sports and recreational areas).
Cavities in the turf, such as as a result of the use of heavy equipment, we can supplement with a roll lawn. Rolled grass is accepted immediately and is ready for use immediately after laying.
