Le placage est le procédé qui permet de refaire des parties complètes de gazon au moyen de plaques provenant soit d'une gazonnière, soit d'endroits de la pelouse moins en vue que ceux à réparer. Les plaques, généralement rectangulaires, sont obtenues par fractionnement de bandes tracées au cordeau et découpées à la bêche. Elles sont ensuite soulevées sur une faible épaisseur [...] Ces plaques sont ensuite rapidement transportées et mises en place, au niveau voulu sur un fond finement préparé, bien serrées, les unes contre les autres et d'un aplomb parfaitement assuré par quelques poignées de terre ou de terreau, [...] 5, record 1, French, - placage
