Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

From almost medieval times the lawn has been an integral part of the well-planned garden. Only the soul-less would deny the pleasure of walking barefoot on a cool green sward on a warm summer day. The lawn is more than a functional space--it is commonly part of the fantasy garden that we at least daydream about if not achieve.

Whatever your hopes and expectations The New Lawn Expert can provide you with a good head start as Dr Hessayon offers his trademark clear explanations and easy-to-follow guidance. If you are starting from scratch then here we have everything from preparing the ground to the care of the established lawn. If you have an area of grass that fails to measure up to the title "lawn", then help is at hand as troubles are identified and remedies provided.

The book has excellent step-by-step diagrams providing information and more importantly solutions to every conceivable problem during every month of the year. You might well be a devoted lawn manager with an enviable green sward but still you may have problems--lawns are like that--which is almost part of the obsession. This book then should provide a pleasurable and potentially restorative read. --T W Falinska

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for beginners, 6 April 2000

By A Customer

If like me your new to the idea of owning a lawn then this book is invaluable. It takes you clearly and simply through the steps required to get rid of the weeds and encourage the grass. Everything is covered from garden tools to lawn seed, weeds to wildflowers. There's also a very useful garden calendar with monthly jobs laid out. My only slight criticism is finding your way around the book, but it's not a huge book so it's not that big a problem. Simply, if you want a first rate lawn buy this book and follow the instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally comprehensive, 21 Nov 2006

By	Martin Tallett (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have had this book for years and read it when I first got it. A first class reference book and "recipe" for a perfect lawn. Has sections on types of grass (how many?) weeds and pests that you get in lawns and a useful section on what to do in each month of the year. Follow this for a few years and you will end up with a beautiful English lawn. But beware you won't be doing anything else its a full time job !

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for all lawn lovers, 24 Nov 1999

By A Customer

Lawns cover more than half of most gardens and yet there are very few books devoted to lawn care. Dr Hessayon, in his own inimitable style takes the novice greenkeeper through all the basics of lawn management, from feeding and weed control to seasonal maintenance. All of the advice is sensible, practical and above all easy to follow. As ever, the advice is didactic but one is left with a simple, annual scheme for lawn improvement. I have used Dr Hessayon's first edition with good success and can highly recommend the second edition for all gardening enthusiasts.
