Lawns are integral parts of every garden.  A well prepared lawn improves the beauty of your garden greatly. Since they are both ornamental and functional, lawns need to be well designed and maintained.  Weeds, overgrowth, diseased patches etc are the most common enemies of lawns.  Since these adversaries can rob every charm out of your lawn and thereby your garden itself, you need to be guarded against these and take proper lawn care measures timely and periodically.

There are many aspects involved in the process of properly maintaining the lawn.  The most important of all is that suitable grass should be planted according to the climate of the area.  That is why in colder regions such grass varieties are planted which remain green through the winter.  It is also preferable to see the month you are planting the grass since planting at the wrong time can spoil your entire efforts.

You need to take correct lawn care by providing it with the essential water and manure.  Moving helps the turf maintain its perfect health.  You have to be sure of the amount of water and fertilizers applied since overfeeding or underfeeding could result in the turf getting sick.  Each sort of grass has its own wants.  Compost, corn gluten meal etc are very effective in saving the greenness of your lawn.

If you feel that your lawn needs improvement of some sort, make a first hand evaluation of the situation by checking the lawn thoroughly for bald patches, insect attack, weed infestation etc.  Find out why these are occurring and take preventive measures.  Make sure that the lawn is not being shaded by any shrub or tree, since this can result in bald patches.  Planting additional grass without taking remedial actions may not be a good idea.

You should not think that lawn care is an exceedingly difficult process.  If you persistently keep a tab on various aspects of the lawn like the plants, the grass, trees around, the turf, the borders etc, the process would become less complicated.  The feeding process, watering, protection from being walked by careless folk, curbing of pest and weed expansion etc need sufficient attention from your part.
