A practical guide to growing and maintaining a lawn

Lawn care involves choices that depend on grass type, climate, water, and the work a yard needs over time. Suzanne DeJohn’s guide brings those decisions together, covering grass varieties and growing conditions alongside irrigation setup and routine tasks such as mowing, watering, fertilizing, aerating, and overseeding. It also addresses ways to reduce water use and care for the surrounding environment, with troubleshooting guidance for lawn damage, pests, diseases, and weeds. The second edition frames lawn care as an ongoing set of practical decisions, from establishing a new lawn to adjusting upkeep for an existing one.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • New or prospective lawn owners seeking an introduction to lawn care
  • DIY gardeners planning maintenance or irrigation
  • Lawn owners looking for guidance on water-conscious upkeep and common problems
