Lawn Care for Dummies

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.

There is a lot in this book but it is heavily for the US market. For instance the grass types it discusses are not used in the UK. Turf is called Sod. The weed species are different. Principles are the same though The US market in Lawn care is massive, in the UK not quite so as yet. If you are looking to start lawn care business or just look after your own lawn you are better off with The Lawn Expect. Older book but more specific to the UK.For that reason 3 stars only because I am in the UK. It would be a 5 if I was in the USA.Good book overall.

Laying and caring for lawns.

I am a keen gardener and interested in any tips I can get. Long time since I got it so this dummy has memory loss. Sure fine

All good Thanks!

easy to follow, perfect gift for "new" gardener.

I am a huge fan of the dummies series of books but this one fails to meet the mark, its Taylored to the US market, diseases climate problem and weeds do not really have relevance in the UK. On the cover it states a full colour section, one reason I purchased the book , this does not exist but there is a sepia section, this would suggest to me that it may not be a "ligitimate" version, so on reflection if you live in the UK and you not colour blind probably best avoided

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.

Just as ordered!

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!

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

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.

terrible book. Got more from Municipal Lawn Care websites. Not practical. Not concise. Just awful.
