As the weather is going, it is almost certain that spring will come very quickly, so you should think about starting the procedures for preparing the land for the lawn.
As a rule, the procedures are carried out in autumn and spring, that is, in September-November and March-April, so if you really want a green lawn carpet, which will bring you the joy of walking barefoot on the grass, you must know what the stages are for preparing the land for the lawn.
If you want a lawn carpet like in English gardens, you must follow the steps for preparing the land for the lawn, because the most important step is to clean the land of weeds.
The battle with the weeds being the most important stage in the preparation of the land for the lawn.
If the temperatures allow you and the ground is not frozen, you can worry about preparing the land for the lawn, especially since the operation is a long-term one. The first step is to clean the earth.
Construction debris, stones, roots, and weeds (especially those with narrow leaves) must be removed. After cleaning the land, it must be dug and crushed, then well watered and weeded to remove all weed seeds from the ground.
Plan these operations in advance to prepare the land for the lawn! It must be said that the fight against weeds is long, hard and must be started at least one month before planting the lawn. In order to completely get rid of weeds, which spoil and suffocate the lawn immediately after planting, you need two or even three weeding stages. After the lawn blanket is uniform and thick, the weeds are no longer able to develop, but for the beginning weeding is essential. Keep in mind that the soil must be watered for the weed seeds to germinate, so that they can be destroyed by weeding.
After weeding, the soil must be plowed (the soil is loosened, helping the roots to penetrate deep), crushed and leveled with the help of the roller to fit the garden design project. On the other hand, it must be improved with sand in the case of loamy soil or with peat in the case of sandy soil. and all these operations to prepare the land for the lawn can be done as soon as the ground is thawed.
In order to have a quality green blanket, dense and resistant, the preparation of the land for the lawn is an extremely important work. The way you prepare the ground will have a major influence on the density and health of the lawn bed.
