How to green the land where the grass does not grow?

Since 1960, the world does not stop experiments to create artificial grass, which does not differ in appearance from natural grass, and the practicality of its superior. Initially the scope seen only playgrounds. However, in our time, a fantasy landscape designers breaks all stereotypes. Synthetic grass used for landscaping areas, where living is difficult to grow or, in principle, impossible. For example, in places of high permeability in barbecue areasTo decorate concrete terraces, balconies, fences, shop fronts, etc.

It is believed that artificial turf - ideal cover for the children's playground. Toddlers do not trample the grass, less spread dirt and sand in the yard and the house. Member FORUMHOUSE gizma-creator offered to cover the place of the ramp under the children's slide, where the kids all the trampling and dirt is formed:

- It seems to me, two square meters of artificial turf for a place to skate slides will be enough. You can first pour cement pad, and it has put a covering.

Other forum users bring their own examples of the use of artificial turf. So, Siberian grandfather used it as a cover territory around the pool. Moreover, the material is not fixed tightly to be able to take off for the winter. Validating says it all really like home, kids love it to relax, clean - easily.

Synthetic grass - this is a universal coating for all surfaces, including concrete and asphalt. With the help of artificial turf greening can be not only the yard and playground, but also the roof, balcony, apartment...

Nikifor333 I thought about covering the roof and decided to do something unusual. He opted for the artificial turf and does not regret it.

No new posts Burgelo saw in a television broadcast on landscape design professionals to use synthetic grass as a decoration of the fence, and hit on the idea itself:

- The designer has put two vertical walls and hung them on artificial turf. It looked so zdorovski! Brick, wood, metal fence and do not want expensive. And then - a minimum of money and effort, you can make your own hands.

However, at the forum found quite a few negative reviews about artificial lawns. Many vacation home is associated with all natural and environmentally friendly, and they believe that synthetic materials - not a place at the site. Thus, according to forumchanin gazoninfo, artificial turf perfectly fit into the interior, everything will come down to the local area, good at playgrounds and sports venues. And in other cases, it will look unnatural and out of place.

Raise doubts and synthetic materials from which the artificial grass is made. About his disappointment informed participant FORUMHOUSE Alpha:

- I saw a lawn on the playground at school. With a few meters it looks just gorgeous. When getting close, you realize that this is not grass, but only plastic.

Indeed, today, two materials used for the production of artificial grass: polyethylene and polypropylene. But the technology has reached such heights that sometimes distinguish artificial turf from the real grass is difficult. It may even be an imitation of meadows with flowers or moss. Moreover, you can choose the options you want: height (6 to 100 mm) and the degree of soft blades, thickness "bristle" color. For example, the pile can be dyed with two or three shades of green, which gives it a resemblance to natural grass. For tennis courts produced synthetic lawn red or brown, and white or yellow - marking field.

The first artificial grass for football pitches in England were made of polypropylene. But players falling on such "grass" burns was prepared from the slip. This forced manufacturers to look for new material. The alternative was the polyethylene.

Artificial turf is of two types - without a drainage layer and with him. Tubeless coating used in dry areas. Perforated base need for removing moisture.

Depending on the application, release the filling, and poluzasypnoy nezasypnoy coating embodiments. Nezasypnoy lawn for decoration. Many of you do not resemble him - soft gentle fiber crush and lose from this appearance. Poluzasypnoy often created from soft and flexible polyethylene. This is the best coating for children's playgrounds. The space between the grass pile is filled with quartz sand, which gives strength and stability of the coating. In the filling between the lawn grass pile is filled with quartz sand and special rubber granules. These grasses are solid, but resilient to mechanical stress. This variant of artificial grass used in areas where grass should withstand constant load.

What are the advantages in the synthetic lawn in comparison with the natural? They turned out to be not so little. With live grass, until it turns into a beautiful green lawn, it may be a lot of things unexpected: due to cold weather - do not have time to grow, and in the winter can vymerznut vymoknut spring, summer - burned on the sun.

Artificial Turf only need to choose the right, buy, deliver and put into place. Practical and simple, beautiful and hardwearing - perfect for those owners of country houses, whose there is a desire to get the beauty on your site quickly and permanently, and to not really wasting time on it maintenance. And synthetic grass - this is the case: no watering you or haircuts, or special care. Periodically, it just washed and combed with a rake. Durable synthetics than one season would be functional. Producers promise up to 15 years without losing the look.

Since the artificial turf comes in rolls, its installation is straightforward: you just roll out roll. The strips are glued rolls special tape or glue. The perimeter portion is fixed by special rolls baseboards, but in a small clearing is possible to do without it.

What is necessary to tinker, because it is - a base for the preparation of artificial grass. Before laying surface level, purified from coarse impurities (stones, glass, wires, etc.). Then make a drainage layer of gravel or sand.

Validating volkronov told which way he did the site for lawns:

- ground plan, tamping vibratory plates, geotextiles, sand and tamping again. On each side of the compartment ATSEID line (Ed.: asbestos board) so that the sand is not left in the ground.
