English

Subject field(s)
  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

Areas of turf, or lawn, provide the green expanse that links all other garden plantings together. They usually consist of grasses--thousands to the square metre--kept shorn close to the ground to provide a green carpet.

OBS

Tapis vert, meaning literally a "green carpet", was first coined in the garden at Versailles in 1680 where André Le Nôtre used a mown grass strip punctuated by urns and statues to divide the main axis, the Allée Royale. This became a template for other grand schemes, including George Washington's plan for the landscaping of independent America's new capital. The term tapis vert has come to embrace a wider meaning, encompassing any area of lawn cut in a regular shape. It is also used to describe areas mown at various heights to produce patterns and it is here that the lawn could enjoy a degree of reinvention, assisted by advances in technology-most mowers can be adjusted by the flick of a lever to give various cutting heights. In areas of a modest size, rotary mowers would be ideal for this purpose.

CONT

This green rubber cures within the vents, remaining attached to the tire being molded after curing so that when the mold is opened, and the cured tire is removed, these vents provide a plethora of needle like projections protruding generally perpendicularly from the surface of the cured tire. These projections are also termed "vents" conventionally and provide the tire with an external appearance generally regarded as objectionable. Such... projections protruding from the cured tire... are removed... Termed "vent trimming", this projection cutting procedure typically adds to the manufacturing cost...

a type of saw having a bow-like tubular frame and a sharp blade with many cutting teeth, especially efficient in cutting pulpwood and any soft, green wood.

It has been suggested that this term may have received its name because the original blades were of Swedish steel. It is also possible that the name was applied derisively because the saw was associated with Swedish lumbermen ....

OBS
