Best book on lawns currently available
29 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
Don't let the branding fool you -- this is easily the best book on lawns currently available. I've read many books on the subject, and most of them are very simplistic and useless, or spend some time on the lawn and then go off into growing vegetables or flowers. This one is just on lawns, and contains sections on lawn weeds, lawn pests, types of grass -- basically everything you could think to ask or need to know about how to maintain a great lawn.
Makes a terrific housewarming gift, too. I wish someone had given me one!

good book, pulls you in
5 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
Informative, as well as feeding the spirits. As a hobby book, I didn't want it to be another rocket science book, but I didn't want it to be a cinderella book either, with no details or information. This book served the purpose well. Nice illustrations, makes it easy to do lawns with the information in it. Unless you are looking for something very specific that this book doesn't deal with (why not search the internet for that?), this book will please you, with rounded coverage on the subject.

Great Advice
29 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently moved into a new house where the previous owner kept great care of the lawn. Along with the whole neighborhood. To start off, i knew nothing about ferilizing, watering, and mowing the correct height. My old philosophy was to try and cut it shorter each time so that i wouldn't have to mow again anytime soon. Needless to say watering and fertilizing was out of the question. This book teaches you everything you need to know in order to grow and maintain a beautiful lawn. Here are some of the key points the book makes about maintaining a healthy lawn.
Fertilizing 4 times a year (spring, summer, fall, and winter)
Watering methods
mowing the correct height
making patterns with a lawn roller (really cool)
These are just some of the main points that really make a HUGE difference in your yard. With time and patience you will be on your way to a great looking lawn. Do yourself a favor, buy this book and take all the guess work out of yard work. Believe it or not you will become obsessed with how your lawn looks!
