To reap the rewards of a handsome lawn, take great care in the selection,
establishment, maintenance, and renovation of your lawn grass. With proper
choices, a durable lawn will grow with minimal maintenance and pesticides use.
Lawns are smooth, living carpets that add beauty and recreational space to you
home. The benefits of a healthy lawn go beyond the obvious. As your grass
grows, it is working to help the environment by stabilizing soil and reducing
air pollution, noise, heat, dust, and glare. Surveys show that an attractive,
well-landscaped lawn can even add to the value of your home.
