Parterre lawn

Arrangement of a lawn in the local area is a popular improvement method and an integral part of landscape design. At the same time, not every person knows that today there are a large number of varieties of lawns. One of the most common types is parterre. Today in our article we will consider all its characteristic features and qualities.

The English elite parterre lawn is a dense grassy covering. At the same time, it is very important that its height cannot exceed 4 cm (in some cases, this indicator can be reduced by 0.5 cm). The color of the lawn should be very bright, uniform and have an emerald hue. In addition, in terms of its size, the parterre flooring differs significantly from any other varieties, since it is quite large-scale in its dimensions. If these conditions are not met, then the lawn cannot be called parterre.

Most often, such a grassy surface is equipped in areas that are adjacent to houses built in the classical architectural style. It is important to note the fact that the process of creating a lawn itself is distinguished by a high level of complexity, accordingly, not every landscape designer has the appropriate qualifications and the necessary practical skills. In addition, particularly stringent requirements are imposed in relation to those plants that can be planted on it.

The parterre lawn has a large number of unique characteristics that have both positive and negative tendencies. Before you decide to create such a grass cover in the area that is adjacent to your home, it is very important to familiarize yourself with its properties and qualities.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the existing advantages.

The parterre lawn looks very nice. He will not leave indifferent neither your household, nor neighbors, nor passers-by. It is because of its attractive appearance that this type of coating is very popular among homeowners and landscape designers.

Generally speaking, the parterre type of lawn is considered elite. Accordingly, each household that decorates with such a grass cover receives a qualitatively new (higher) status.

The parterre lawn can also fulfill its role. If you decide to equip a lawn of this type, then additional elements may not be needed. As already said, the parterre lawn is very large in size, therefore, it can take up quite a lot of space on the territory.

The owners of the ground floor grassy coverage report that it can serve the owner for quite a long time. Accordingly, you do not have to worry about the need to allocate additional effort, money and time to set up a new lawn.

In order to equip the parterre lawn, it is necessary to make a rather complex and lengthy preparation.

Even after you have planted your turf, you should devote a lot of time and effort to caring for it.

Despite the fact that the parterre lawn looks very attractive, not everyone has the opportunity to equip it on the territory of their home. First of all, this is due to the need for rather large material investments, which not everyone can do.

Such coverage can only be created if you have a fairly large area at your disposal. Respectively, all owners of small-sized adjoining plots will have to abandon the parterre lawn.

For parterre turf, it is necessary to select suitable turf mixtures. Consider several optimal options for the crops that make up it.

The color of this grass fully complies with the requirements for a parterre lawn. In order for fescue to grow well and develop actively, it is recommended to plant it on loamy soils, as well as to regularly apply organic fertilizers to the soil.

The distinctive characteristics of this plant include the fact that the bent arises quite quickly (for example, the first shoots can be seen as early as 7 days after sowing the seeds). The root system of the bent bent is powerful and develops rather quickly.

The root system of meadow bluegrass can be attributed to the fibrous type. In contrast to the bent bent, the meadow bluegrass grows and develops very slowly. In order for the plant to maintain a sufficient level of vitality, it must be constantly watered.

The planting process can be divided into several main stages. Let's consider them in more detail.

• First you need to dig up the entire area on which you will plant the lawn. In this case, it is imperative to remove all weeds (if necessary, you can use specialized chemicals for this).
• The soil in which you will plant herbal mixtures should be rich in nutrients and minerals. If this is not the case, then it is imperative to make the necessary fertilizing and fertilization.
• It is imperative to carry out the procedure for leveling the ground.
• In order to avoid stagnation of unwanted moisture, a drainage system should be created (for example, materials such as gravel or crushed stone can be used).
• The next step is to plant your chosen herbal mixture. This procedure is best done in the spring. First of all, it is necessary to plant large seeds, and after them it is allowed to plant smaller ones.
• In order for the plants to actively grow and develop, do not forget to water regularly.

In order for a parterre lawn to serve you for a long time and retain its unique characteristics, it is necessary to carry out proper and thorough care. In addition to preliminary soil preparation, mandatory maintenance procedures include:

• aeration (can be carried out using a specialized device or an ordinary rake);
• mulching (preferably in summer);
• garbage collection;
• watering;
• trimming the edges;
• haircut and much more.
