REVISED for 2008. Lawns are smooth, living carpets that add beauty and recreational space to you home. The benefits of a healthy lawn go beyond the obvious. As your grass grows, it is working to help the environment by stabilizing soil and reducing air pollution, noise, heat, dust, and glare. Surveys show that an attractive, well-landscaped lawn can even add to the value of your home. To reap the rewards of a handsome lawn, take great care in the selection, establishment, maintenance, and renovation of your lawn grass. With proper choices, a durable lawn will grow with minimal maintenance and pesticides use.
