Lawns are the carpets of our landscapes. They provide a soft surface where the family can relax and play. They moderate temperatures and capture rainfall, reducing runoff and erosion. 

The keys to a great lawn are selecting a turfgrass that is adapted to your location and intended use, proper soil preparation, proper planting and early care, judicious watering, and mowing at an appropriate height. Attention to these practices can also reduce the amount of water it takes to keep turfgrass healthy and attractive.

Doing these three things correctly is the difference between a thin, weedy, disease prone, drought susceptible lawn, and one that is beautiful, dense, more resource efficient, and relatively weed free.
