A beautiful lawn provides many benefits apart from just looking magnificent. For example, a lawn provides a safe, soft recreational surface, cuts down reflected noise, boosts oxygen supply to the environment and provides a serene and restful landscape. 1. Following a few simple guidelines during the planning phase will help you get the most out of your lawn. Refer Home Lawn Planning Hints. 2. Good ground preparation is essential for the best result and we can advise you on what you need to do (see Home Lawn Soil Preparation). 3. Following installation, all you need to do is water, feed and cut your new lawn as instructed in our simple Home Lawn Care & Maintenance leaflet (see later). In the unlikely event you encounter some difficulty answers to most problems will be found in the section on Home Lawn Troubleshooting for new lawns.
