Lawn Care For Dummies

very,very helpful.

We came from a condo...how we learned about thatching, aerating, adding soil/compost/shell mixtures to lawn, leaving grass high in heatwaves, dog urine damage & fixes to enhance growth and enjoying our amazing lawn. Best help was getting rid of pests (Japanese beetles=GRUBS--those large tan grass/dead spots!--GrubX) was great to know how to WIN. We just pulled out clover from neighbor's patches. Even tho' written 2 decades ago, the info is critical. For people who wished they had a nice lawn. We remind folks we had to start somewhere!

I had to read it. Generally there was too much information.

Best purchase I've made in a long time. Having recently bought and moved into our first home, we had no idea how to reclaim our lawn from the weeds that were everywhere. This book helped us learn so much about lawn care in general, as well as how to take care of the pesky weeds. Full of a lot of very useful information, and very well organized!!

more for new lawns

This is a great book that covers all the basics. Our lawn service has been awful. This will help my husband and I to get things green and growing again.

I came to this book having just bought a house and knowing almost nothing about my lawn. This book was not only an excellent primer of basic information, but also a good bible of useful in-depth information (for example, different species of grasses of how they differ). Now my wife makes fun of me for my encyclopedic knowledge of our lawn.

The information is good but there are no color section highlights. I’m assuming this is printed on demand with no color option available.

Very good for Dummies :)

Just as ordered!

This book has a lot of useful information but is heavily biased towards an American readership. Also the full colour photographs promised on the cover are very poor quality black and white photocopies.

Gives all the practical advice that you need to start a good lawn. It is also useful to those who already have a lawn that need attention.

Laying and caring for lawns.
