Formation and maintenance of lawns

Darko Kantoci

Abstract

A pretty, lush, green lawn makes every garden owner proud. It is usually thought that a good choice of seed and regular maintenance are the most important factors for a nice looking lawn and a thick, lush grass. It is certainly true that these factors are very important for a good looking lawn, but a proper and careful terrain preparation is far more important. No garden, regardless of its maintenance, looks nice if its grasslands are neglected. Fall is the most favorable time to form a lawn. The soil is wet enough and temperatures are high enough for grass to grow.
