Customer Reviews

Best book on lawns currently available
Don't let the branding fool you -- this is easily the best book on lawns currently available. I've read many books on the subject, and most of them are very simplistic and useless, or spend some time on the lawn and then go off into growing vegetables or flowers. This one is just on lawns, and contains sections on lawn weeds, lawn pests, types of grass -- basically everything you could think to ask or need to know about how to maintain a great lawn.

Makes a terrific housewarming gift, too. I wish someone had given me one!

good book, pulls you in
Informative, as well as feeding the spirits. As a hobby book, I didn't want it to be another rocket science book, but I didn't want it to be a cinderella book either, with no details or information. This book served the purpose well. Nice illustrations, makes it easy to do lawns with the information in it. Unless you are looking for something very specific that this book doesn't deal with (why not search the internet for that?), this book will please you, with rounded coverage on the subject.

Excellent
This is an excellent, brief, but comprehensive book on lawns and lawn care. It covers numerous helpful topics, and in more detail than the other books I have. It's well written, well organized, and has lots of helpful and useful tips. As a new lawn owner, I found much good and timely information here, and it helped me solve a few problems that stymied me before. Overall a fine book and well worth the money.
