4 out of 5 stars Lots of Good Advice, But Wasted Photos   March 21, 1999
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book is an excellent reference on everything you would want to know on how to start, repair or maintain a lawn, but it doesn't answer some really, really basic questions, like "What kind of grass do I have?" The photos are just fluff, and could have been better used to identify grass types, weeds or lawn problems.


4 out of 5 stars Great beginning view of lawn possibilities.   September 15, 1998
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Having never had a lawn before, I needed a very basic, gentle introduction to what it means to have and care for a lawn - and this book delivers just that. It also covers topics I might not have thought about ahead of time, including lawn disease and alternate ground covers. The ambient sense of humor makes what could appear to be a very intimidating project seem more like fun than work. My only objection - the color photos are wasted on shots of random lawns. I would have preferred to see these photos used to show examples that are best viewed, rather than textually described... such as grass types, insect & disease damage, weeds, etc.

Overall, this book has given me a great overview of my entire lawn project, and I can't wait to get started.
