It’s Just Grass or Is It?
Often we take grass for granted as its all around us and we somehow just don’t see it for what it is. Grass is so important for the structure and stability of your garden and you should want to keep looking its best all the time. Most of the stuff we refer to as grass, the common grasses we use for lawns are to all intents and purposes evergreens.

Time Effort and Dedication
Prepare yourself for the amount of time, effort and dedication you are going to have to invest whilst not forgetting how much money it going to cost you to get your perfectly beautiful lawn.

Perfect Grass
Not all of us want or need perfect grass as if just not practical if there are kids or pets using the garden lawn but we still want it to look nice and be functional. We still must learn how to grow and nurture it until it matures and then maintain it, maybe for decades.

Good Soil - Good Grass - Good Lawn
Grass has different growing requirements than trees and shrubs that prefer soils with a sandy or gravel element. Lawn grass prefers a rich top soil and a good supply of water and nutrients throughout the growing season. Soil containing a high proportion of gravel and or sand leads to wastage of water and nutrients and it’s more difficult to create a really good lawn and keeping it looking beautiful. These poorer soils dry out quickly so you have to ensure they retain sufficient moisture to keep the grass healthy and provide sufficient nutrients to combat any growth deficiency.

                                                                                     Good Soil Drainage
Grass, although quite tolerant to very wet conditions, should not be left constantly in soggy soil such as that caused by dense clay that has poor drainage. If this is the case, you will have to introduce some drainage with a garden fork. Failing this, you may have to think about installing underground drainage and add a good depth of good quality top soil.

Get It Right First Time
You may be lucky enough to move into a brand new home and be in a position to create your own beautiful lawn. If you can do this, then you very fortunate as you will be in total control by having the opportunity to get it  right first time. This will save you an enviable amount of time and effort in the future whilst saving you so much frustration. You will actually have to time to enjoy your lawn instead of doing battle with it and you will be the envy of your friends.

Repaying Your Efforts
You’re still going to have to upkeep the lawn by maintaining its healthy condition, but you’ll be way ahead of anyone else who has not taken your preparatory steps. Your additional initial financial investment for your beautiful lawn will easily repay itself over and over again.
