A practical guide to understanding and caring for a lawn

Luke Taylor’s guide organizes lawn care around the work involved, from understanding grass and constructing a lawn to mowing, seasonal maintenance, and feeding. It also addresses common challenges—including weeds, patchiness, diseases, garden pests, and damage associated with pets—alongside equipment and environmental impact. The chapter list gives the subject a broad, hands-on scope, while the book’s focus on seasonal tasks and everyday problems offers a structure for approaching lawn care without relying on scattered advice.
