Books on Lawns

Barney, President George W Bush's dog (sadly deceased in 2004) demonstrating that the White House lawn is not just about signing treaties.

Green monoculture maybe, but who'd be without one.

A lawn turns your garden into a living space - it draws you into the garden to sunbathe, to play cricket, to do a hand-stand. Of course it also lures you into the garden to mow it more often than you would believe possible, and if you are the family dog, it lures you into the garden to relieve yourself, much to everyone else's annoyance.

Growing and maintaining the perfect lawn is an art - ask the groundsman at Wimbledon. How often should you mow your lawn? How to achieve a weed-free lawn? Does your lawn need aeration or lawn fertiliser? Which grasses are most suitable for lawns in your part of the world?

Luckily growing a lawn is an art that can be learned from the right book. Here are a selection of books on lawns, lawn care and lawn maintenance. Good luck!
