If your luck is such that you are the owner of a lawn based on fine top soil, much of the hard work of keeping a lawn beautiful can be dispensed with altogether. This, however, does not apply to everyone, and besides, should a top soil base that is excellent exist, you still have to work hard to hold the beauty of a fine garden and an excellent lawn.

1. Mow a lawn at its best time, which is is when observation suggests that coolness and dryness exists. Have patience to ensure that the dew of the morning has evaporated, before the heat of the afternoon is on you. Or you may wish to perform this act early in the evening, or late in the afternoon there having been water sprayed on in the morning is also a good time.

2. Hedges provide superior divisions for boundaries compared to a fence. The provision for privacy is superior, keep pets and children in or out. The shelter it provides will attract birds, and it gives a setting that will enhance flowers and plants.

3. Don't just have your garden out ther, but take it closer to you; hyacinths should be planted close to doors, as well as paths. The heady perfumed smell will take over the atmosphere ofspring and make your garden really come alive.

4. Surround nongarden things with garden things, such as lampposts and mail boxes. Wrap these things with flowering items that have been planted to benefit from flowers that go from the earliest to flower right up to the ones that flower last. A suitable selection might be made up of snowdrops that are white, crocuses of a purple or gold hue, tulips of a variety of colors, and hyacinths colored blue. You may wish to put large stones around the posts to enhance their appearance.

5. Weed controlling methods can be achieved on your lawn by making spring the time to mow regularly. This will prevent dandelions spreading by eliminating the yellow blossoms and stopping seeds to form. A highness of mowing is good in early summer, carrying on from late spring. The ground will be shaded by grass blades with this maneouvre, and the total suppression of crabgrass sprouting will be achieved.

Your very own lawn, as well as your garden should be a source of pride and beauty. Money in quantities need not be spent on expensive fertilizers and herbicides, or fancy lawn furniture and ornaments. Some careful preplanning can go a long way towards creating a garden and a lawn a space that you prefer.
