Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than just a concentrated area of grass, a lawn is defined as a space planted with grass or other spreading plants that is kept trimmed to provide a natural carpet of foliage. If a grassy field is not cut and left to grow wild, it should not be considered a lawn but more likely a meadow.Most times a lawn is planted with grass to make an outdoor space that's usable and comfortable. It is aesthetically pleasing and easy to care for. It's also an economical way to prevent erosion and keep the soil moist and healthy.Many outdoor sports use a lawn as a playing surface. They often call that area by another name and might require exact specifications to be met regarding the care and maintenance of that lawn. In golf for instance, there is a big difference between the rough, fairway and the green. Each of these areas might even be planted with different grass varieties.Other terms used for a lawn are field (as in soccer), turf and pitch. In reference to your home, a lawn is also commonly called a yard.Although it is a matter of preference, there is a minimal level of maintenance required for a grassy area to be called a lawn. It should be trimmed close to the ground, although recently a trend towards wilder, les manicured lawns has taken off. Lawns are often invaded by common weeds such as dandelions and clover and can also become food for rodents and other animals.

While laying sod is fast and produces high-quality new turf, seeding lawns are much cheaper and offer a wider variety of grass types. To learn which grass types are best for your area, contact a nearby extension service (many counties and universities have extensions), or ask an expert at a local garden center. Much of the labor of starting a lawn from seed is in the all-important prep work, but just as important is watering the seed and sprouts regularly until the new grass is well established.

The methods taught within this book have been custom developed only for turfgrass and designed to keep your lawn greener, healthier, and more sustainable than any other organic program. My name is Daniel Stover and as a career golf course superintendent I have maintained a wide variety of grass species from New England to the Caribbean. My courses have received awards such as Golf Advisor's #1 for course conditions in the United States, Golf Week's top 50 golf resort in America, and USA Today's #1 course in the Caribbean. I have grown and maintained hundreds of acres of grass from mowing heights of four inch rough height all the way down to a tenth of an inch greens height. The breadth of these conditions, species and mowing heights allow me to continually perform countless testing on a large range of products, methods and cultivation practices. The ending result is a book that is constantly updated with the latest tips, tricks and methods that I have personally developed through the latest organic lawn care studies. This organic lawn care book originally started as my own notebook but quickly evolved into a no fluff guide that brings you everything you will need and nothing you don't.
