Should you be fortunate you're lawn is growing on rich top soil, a great deal of the tedious effort to maintain the space need not cause you any worries. Of course, not all of us are in this position, and it should be remembered that, even with a good topsoil base, you still have to work hard to keep a beautiful lawn and garden.

1. The mowing of a lawn has its most perfect time is the time when a lack of moisture and warmth exists. Have patience to ensure that the dew of the morning has evaporated, and prior to the warm build up that takes place prior to evening. Or you may wish to perform this act early in the evening, or late in the afternoon following a watering in the morning is also a good time.

2. Preference should be given to a hedge than the qualities provided by fencing. It will provide better privacy, keeping little ones and family animals secure on either side. It will attract birds to its shelter, and it will give a backdrop that will set off your flowers as well as your plants.

3. Your garden should be brought right up to you; hyacinths can be planted near doors and near paths. Their magnificent perfume will swamp the spring air and will enhance your garden in ways you didn't think possible.

4. Add your garden to nongarden items, lamp posts and mail boxes being an example. Wrap these things with flowering items that have been planted to gain an advantageous benefit the first to the last to flower. You could have white snowdrops, purple and gold crocus, blue hyacinths, and various colored tulips. You may wish to put large stones around the posts to enhance their appearance.

5. Uncomplicated control of weeds can be achieved on your lawn through the choice of springtime as a suitable time to mow often. The prevention of dandelion spread will be caused by eliminating the yellow blossoms and preventing seed formation. A highness of mowing is good in early summer, carrying on from late spring. The shading of the ground by grass blades will thereby be allowed, and the total suppression of crabgrass sprouting will be achieved.

The garden and the lawn that you own should be a source of pride and beauty. Money in quantities need not be spent on non cheap enhancing compounds for your garden, or fancy lawn furniture and ornaments. Carefull thinking and a sensible attitude will take you as far as you need to go to making your lawn and garden a place that you love always.
