METHOD OF REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES USAGE FOR DECORATION OF LANDPLOTS AND LAWNS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A01G1/08 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to landscape design. The method envisages artificial creation of a grass cover of a mixture of bluegrass, ryegrass and bent and the grown seeds type close cropping of cultivation of cereal crops and other annual plants noted for beautiful flowers. Horizontal or slanting ground is levelled. A metal or plastic mesh is placed onto the ground that consolidates the ground preventing water erosion; then one strews and levels a ground stratum. Reinforced concrete slabs are serially mounted onto the seed material, the slabs having a faceted or rounded shaped on the top. The shape of holes in the reinforced concrete slabs is reflected in faceting straight and curvilinear shapes of the edges virtually serving as the area of cuts of plants by car wheels restrained during driving by the reinforced concrete slabs and (partly) plant stems. The outer boundaries of faceted or rounded shapes and contours of outer boundaries of reinforced concrete structures are connected by spillage of cement powder and finely dispersed sand. The space between the outer vertical boundaries of reinforced concrete slabs equal to or in excess of 1 mm is filled with humus. The combined contours of reinforced concrete structures and the holes shaped profiles ensure plants cutting as per form of their stems or faceting. When placed at a slant the reinforced concrete structures are fixed to prevent their displacement with props relative the layer of ground with humus without compression of the upper boundary of the reinforced concrete structure to the ground. The number of props is specified depending on the degree of possible displacement in case of transgression of the specific landplot or lawn boundaries.

EFFECT: method enables creation of a variegated landscape and reduce grass mowing costs.
